Gas Gas launch new bikes in Barcelona
By Team TMX on 31st Mar 17
Gas Gas has released three new bikes in its Trial range at the Motoh! Barcelona motorcycle - the new TXT 80 Racing, TXT Trial School and the Trial Contact Electric Start.
TXT 80 Racing
The new trial bike from Gas Gas is a small-scale re-creation of its older brothers.
It has the same tubular moly-chrome steel frame that has already been tried and tested in the Gas Gas TXT models.
It also has elements such as the exhaust and silencer of a bike that has adapted its size to the height and weight of the smallest rider, taking into account both comfort and ergonomics when ridden.
The new TXT 80 Racing has a new engine in its 2018 version. A new engine based on the professional trial unit sharing the maximum number of components and presents its rider with a new piston, crank-shaft, primary drive sprocket and nut, Hidria magnetic flywheel, –with the possibility of adding an inertial flywheel-, Spal fan and DellOrto carburettor in accordance to the engine capacity.
Riders of this new 2018 version can incorporate, if they wish, our optional lighting system. The new Gas Gas TXT 80 Racing arrives prepared with the electrical installation needed so the rider just has to connect the front and back light kits with easy to use connectors.
Trial School 125
Get started in the world of trial with the new Gas Gas Trial School. Aimed at beginners as well as veteran riders who are looking for a bike that is going to give them the maximum amount of fun on an enjoyable day's trial riding, without the high-end features of a competition bike. And all of this at a price that won't break the bank.
The new Trial School is adapted to a level less demanding than that of the professionals. This is for riders who are more interested in a leisure sports activity or riding as a hobby and are looking for pure fun in a day of Trial.
To do this Gas Gas have simplified some components, such as the suspension and engine mapping, which is pre-set for a mid-level rider. Both the front forks as well as the rear suspension of this model are slightly heavier than the rest of the series allowing better handling and traction on all sorts of terrain.
Contact 250 Electric Start
This is the bike for serious enthusiasts of both trial and mountain riding. The new Gas Gas Trial Contact now has an electric start. Riders are going to have a great time on excursions and long off-road trips thanks to its comfortable seat and its large capacity 3.5 litre tank.
This model, with electric start, makes riding easy with its progressive, flexible 250 cc engine; a single cylinder two-stroke, liquid cooled, with a new chromed steel exhaust collector and a new DellOrto 26 carburettor and Hydria ignition system with a single map. The new Trial Contact comes with pre-adjusted front forks as standard and a rear shock absorber with pre-load and progressive link swing arm.
A new 3.5 litre tank has been fitted, with a larger capacity than the trial bikes, also a padded seat as standard, hiding a new battery underneath, are just some of the new features.
Other new components include: New Braktec clutch and brake pistons, NG brake discs (front and back) and switchgear (including lights, starter, indicators and OBD).
