Gas Gas launches new range
By Team TMX on 6th Apr 17
Gas Gas has released three new bikes in its Trial range at the Motoh! Barcelona motorcycle show - 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 recreation 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.
The TXT 80 Racing has a new engine in its 2018 version and includes 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 with the engine capacity.
Trial School 125
Gas Gas Trial School is aimed at beginners as well as veteran riders who are looking for a bike to give them maximum fun, without the high-end features of a competition bike.
And all of this at a price that wont 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 just looking for pure fun in a day in the saddle.
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 range, allowing better handling and traction on all sorts of terrain.
Contact 250 Electric Start
This is the bike for serious enthusiasts of trials and mountain riding, with the Contact now featuring an electric start.
Riders are going to have a great time on excursions and long off-road trips thanks to its comfortable seat and large capacity 3.5 litre tank.
The electric start, makes riding easy with its progressive, flexible 250cc 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 and it also features a padded seat as standard, hiding a new battery underneath.
Other new components include Braktec clutch and brake pistons, NG brake discs (front and back) and switchgear (including lights, starter, indicators and OBD).
