Review
The 2026 GASGAS TXT GP 280 is a masterpiece of trials engineering, designed to dominate the most technical sections in world-class competitions. At its heart lies a 272.2cc two-stroke engine that provides a perfect blend of torque and agility, making it a favorite among riders who find 300cc too aggressive and 250cc slightly underpowered. For 2026, the bike features technical refinements including an improved cylinder head for better cooling and a revised 6-speed transmission for more reliable shifting under pressure. The lightweight chrome-moly steel frame, weighing just 6kg, offers the ideal amount of flex for rider feedback. Exclusive GP features include TECH front forks with Kashima coating for reduced friction and a fully adjustable TECH TJ3 rear shock. With high-end additions like the Akrapovic exhaust system, Galfer brake discs, and Braktec hydraulics, the TXT GP 280 is a factory-spec machine ready for any challenge. The ergonomic bodywork and Michelin Trial X11 tires ensure that the rider remains in total control during the most demanding maneuvers.
