TXT GP 250/300 ($7899)
The TXT GP range is a limited series committed to excellence and the high-
est quality of its components to offer trials riders the sensations and the feel of
an authentic Grand Prix trial bike. The new Gas Gas TXT GP 2018 goes to great
lengths in the complex matter of balance with the addition of a new Tech front
fork and Öhlins rear shock absorber. A gold color suspension set-up, passed
down directly from the racing department, which adopts new springs and ad-
justers offer additional stability and traction to this model.
The list of new parts increases when we go into the details of the bike and es-
pecially of its engine, with the incorporation of Boyesen carbon reeds, dual spark
CDI and closed-core coil - both signed by Hidria- and a new air filter box, also
made in carbon fiber, which contributes to a greater gas flow throughout. There
are also improvements in torque at both, low and medium revs, greater than ever
in this Gas Gas TXT GP. A new cylinder head and cylinder head insert system al-
lows an even greater increase in the compression of the engine, accentuating its
competition behavior.
