Thanks to the great investment made by PIERER Mobility AG, added to GASGAS' long-standing passion and commitment to the trial specialty, we have created the best trial bikes in our history. This successful partnership between Europe's #1 motorcycle manufacturer and GASGAS, the specialized trials brand, has created a strengthened R&D team, a revitalized GASGAS Factory Racing trials team and a more meticulous testing process, which has led directly to the creation of a new generation of GASGAS trial bikes.
Our goal for 2023 was simple: create the best performing GASGAS trials ever made! In addition to keeping the best competition-oriented components on the market, the TXT RACING and TXT GP ranges are practically new. Everything in the previous generation has been thoroughly scrutinized and then refined or replaced with better, stronger, or lighter parts. The GASGAS 2023 trial range far exceeds what we had set out to do.
Developed over the past two years, this latest generation of GASGAS TXT RACING trials bikes offers unrivaled performance with looks to match. Ensuring great rideability has always been top of mind when building our beloved TXT RACING range, now complete with more quality components to take the all-important fun factor to impressive new levels for 2023. All four tested displacements – 300cc, 280cc, 250cc and 125cc – remain the same, offering riders of all ages and abilities the opportunity to experience something very special.
The acronym GP on the TXT GP stands for Grand Prix, which means this range of models really means business. Capable of racing at the highest level right out of the box, the TXT GP is available in two classic displacements: 300cc and 250cc. Designed specifically for the most committed riders, these are the best 2-stroke trials bikes money can buy.
The TXT RACING models will arrive at GASGAS dealers around the world from the end of August 2022, while the TXT GP models will arrive shortly after. For more details on prices and availability, consult your official GASGAS dealer.
