comprised of both tubular and cast steel parts . Both the Racing and GP bikes run Neken handlebars and Renthal grips , while the frame is connected to the lightweight wheels via Tech forks and shocks . Both offer 174.5mm of travel , but the GP bikes , owing to their competition focus , gain a Kashima coating to the fork for enhanced sensitivity and a higher spec , fully adjustable Tech TJ3 shock . Visually , the bikes take a step forward with inmould graphics for enhanced durability . While much of GasGas ’ range is built in Austria now , the trials bikes retain their Spanish heritage and are built on GasGas ’ production line in Terrassa , Spain . Globally , the new GasGas trials range will start to be available in August , but NZ arrival and pricing are yet to be announced by GasGas New Zealand .
