GASGAS INCREASES SUPPORT FOR 2022 FIM TRIAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP !

COURTESY OF GASGAS
It goes without saying that trial is a big deal to GASGAS . And that ’ s exactly why we ’ re collaborating with the FIM for 2022 and we ’ ve signed up to become an official partner of this year ’ s FIM Trial World Championship ! Aside from competing with GASGAS Factory Racing ’ s official riders Miquel Gelabert and Benoit Bincaz , GASGAS wants to do all it can to support the TrialGP series , while also maximizing trial visibility to the wider motorcycle audience !
We ’ re as committed to the development and growth of trial sport today as the GASGAS founders were when they launched their first trial bikes back in 1985 . Not taking long before success came their way in 1986 , thanks largely to the advanced development of the bike ’ s brakes and suspension on those pioneering early trials bikes , GASGAS quickly established a reputation for innovation , expertise , and performance .
Fast-forward to today and innovation , expertise , and performance are still what GASGAS trial bikes are all about . Only they ’ re better than they ’ ve ever been ! Joining the PIERER Mobility Group in late 2019 , GASGAS is focused on using all the inhouse R & D resources available to develop our bikes further . In addition , our ongoing commitment to Spain – the spiritual homeland of GASGAS – has seen us build a new production and R & D facility , as well as a GASGAS Factory Racing trial workshop , in Terrassa . The synergies between our two R & D facilities in Spain and Austria allows us to constantly improve our bikes . Put simply , we want more riders to have fun , enjoy trial , and access better bikes through the extensive GASGAS dealer network .
In addition to maximising TrialGP visibility together with the FIM , GASGAS is pushing hard to introduce trial to a wider motorcycle audience . At the recent Red Bull Erzbergrodeo , the GASGAS Extreme Trial Challenge introduced a new event to the iconic Austrian hard enduro competition , with more than 300 participants competing on GASGAS TXT RACING bikes in front of thousands of fans .
