Gas Gas are back with a bang. At the recent EICMA show in Milan they unveiled the new TXT EGD.
Sports director, Marc Colomer, revealed the highlights of the new Gas Gas TXT EGD, the same model the World Champion has been responsible for developing and on which, last June, he won the first edition of the TrialE World Cup.
Lets take a closer look at the new Gas Gas TXTe EGD.
The new TXTe EGD (Electric Gear Drive) has become the poster child of the joint efforts between Torrot and Gas Gas. The new model is a competitive trial bike that perfectly combines the concepts of freedom and electric mobility evocative of Torrot, with the competitive spirit of Gas Gas.

The teamwork between both companies working under the same corporate umbrella since the start of 2016 has borne the markets most advanced electric trials bike. The bike inherits the resilient qualities of the Gas Gas TXT range with Torrots latest electric technology.
The TXTe EGD hides an efficient electric motor cooled by water, and powered by the latest generation batteries. Its an efficient engine, which is paired with a new six speed transmission and clutch. Additionally, one of the Catalan companys best-kept secrets is its controller.
The controller is truly the brains of the operation, whose information allows for a level of parameter control previously incomprehensible with petrol combustion engines, despite the recent introduction of new electronic-injection motors.
The result is a bike thats agile, light and easy to ride. The Gas Gas TXTe EGDs development was guided by the attentive eye, talent and experience of Marc Colomer, one of the key figures in development this new electric trials bike.
The Gas Gas TXTe EGD had evident success in its debut at the first edition of the TrialE Cup, taking victory for the first time in the history of the electric bike category. Perhaps even more impressive, the TXTe EGD took better results than its petrol-powered Trial125 rivals.
Gas Gas will produce the EGD as a special series and in very limited numbers.
