Gas Gas has released pics of its new 2011 range of Youth trials machines which includes the TXT Boy 50cc, the TXT Rookie 70 and the TXT Cadet 80. All three have their chassis based around the oh-so-simple and ultra light steel tube design of their top-selling larger siblings including the Raga replica.
The TXT Boy has an automatic two-speed gearbox which includes a clutch lever for learning how to use both gas and clutch for absolute beiginners. Although the baby of the range it sports front and rear brake discs.
The TXT Rookie has a six-speed gearbox and is technically very similar to the TXT PRO series. With machined fork rods, an aluminium swingarm and a powerful two-stroke engine it is the perfect entry level bike for young off-road enthusiasts to learn co-ordination and balance and get the feel of competition while enjoying their initial contact with trials.
The TXT Cadet is almost identical to the Rookie but has slightly smaller wheels, 19” on the front and 17” on the back compared to the normal full size 21” front and 18” rear on the Rookie. It also has machined fork rods, an aluminium swingarm and a two-stroke engine.
As ever, the baby Gassers look absolutely fabulous so if you fancy one you know what to do - head down to your local official Gas Gas dealer!
