Review

The 2011 GAS GAS TXT Pro Raga 250 emerged as a highly regarded contender in the competitive trials motorcycle segment. Building upon the successful TXT Pro lineage, the Raga edition represented a premium offering, distinguished by its factory-backed components and refined setup. In its class, it directly rivaled models like the Sherco ST 2.5 and Beta EVO 250, catering to riders seeking a high-performance machine for technical off-road challenges.

At the heart of the TXT Pro Raga 250 was its potent 247.70 ccm (15.11 cubic inches) engine. This two-stroke powerplant was engineered for precise power delivery, crucial for navigating trials sections. The motorcycle's incredibly low weight of just 66.5 kg (146.6 pounds) contributed significantly to its agility and responsiveness, allowing riders to maneuver with minimal effort. Fuel capacity was a modest 2.50 litres (0.66 gallons), typical for a trials bike where range is secondary to performance in short, intense sessions.

Riding characteristics were dominated by the bike's lightweight construction and trials-specific geometry. The 650 mm (25.6 inches) seat height, if adjustable, represented the lowest setting, offering a low center of gravity and ease of foot placement, essential for balance and recovery in challenging terrain. The Enduro-offroad categorization, while broad, accurately reflected its purpose as a machine designed to conquer obstacles rather than cover long distances. Its compact chassis and responsive suspension provided the feedback and control necessary for precise placement and traction on varied surfaces.

The GAS GAS TXT Pro Raga 250 2011 was unequivocally aimed at experienced trials riders and enthusiasts who demanded a high-spec, competition-ready machine. Its specialized design and focused capabilities made it unsuitable for general trail riding or enduro racing, excelling instead in the highly technical world of trials. For those dedicated to mastering the art of balance and precision, the Raga 250 offered a formidable platform to push their limits.
