Overview

Introducing the 2020 GAS GAS TXT Racing 280, a remarkable addition to the esteemed lineage of trial motorcycles from the Spanish powerhouse, GAS GAS. Known for their commitment to performance and innovation, GAS GAS has carved out a niche in the competitive world of trial riding, where precision and agility are paramount. The TXT Racing 280 is designed not just as a reliable partner for trials enthusiasts but also as a formidable competitor for those who seek to conquer the toughest obstacles with grace and control. With a lightweight design and a powerful engine, this bike stands as a testament to GAS GAS's dedication to pushing the boundaries of trial riding. At the heart of the GAS GAS TXT Racing 280 lies a robust 272.20 ccm single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating performance while maintaining a lightweight profile. With a bore and stroke of 76.0 x 60.0 mm, this powerplant is finely tuned for responsiveness, allowing riders to navigate tight turns and steep climbs with confidence. The carbureted fuel system, equipped with a Keihin PWK 28, ensures smooth power delivery, while the CDI digital ignition system provides reliable starting and consistent performance in varying conditions. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox, the TXT Racing 280 offers a seamless transmission that translates rider input into immediate action, giving you the freedom to tackle any challenge on the trial course. The engineering prowess of the TXT Racing 280 is further showcased through its cutting-edge features and technology. The chromoly tubular frame provides exceptional rigidity and strength while keeping the overall weight down to just 66 kg (145.5 pounds). The suspension setup is equally impressive; featuring a TECH front suspension with 180 mm of travel and an ÖHLINS rear monoshock that offers adjustable rebound and spring pre-load, riders can fine-tune their setup for different terrains. Additionally, the braking system—featuring NG WAVE floating discs—ensures precise stopping power with a 185 mm front brake and a 150 mm rear brake. Together, these elements create a motorcycle that not only performs well but feels like an extension of the rider. **

Pros

  • Lightweight Construction: At just 66 kg, the TXT Racing 280 is agile and easy to maneuver, making it ideal for navigating challenging trial courses.
  • Powerful Engine Performance: The 272.20 ccm two-stroke engine offers responsive power delivery and great torque, perfect for technical riding.
  • Adjustable Suspension: With a high-quality ÖHLINS rear shock and TECH front suspension, riders can easily customize their setup for varying terrains and personal preferences.

Cons

  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With only 2.50 liters (0.66 gallons) of fuel capacity, the bike may require more frequent refueling during longer trial events.
  • Kick Start Only: The traditional kick-start mechanism may not appeal to all riders, especially those accustomed to electric starters found in other models.
  • Height Considerations: While the seat height of 650 mm (25.6 inches) is adjustable, it may still be a challenge for shorter riders to manage the bike comfortably.
