Review
The 2020 GAS GAS TrialGP 280 is a high-performance trials motorcycle built for experienced riders seeking a potent combination of power and control. Its 272.2cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine delivers strong and responsive power, ideal for tackling challenging obstacles and technical sections. The 6-speed gearbox provides precise gear selection, crucial for maintaining momentum and balance. Weighing in at a mere 67 kg and featuring a low 650mm seat height, the TrialGP 280 is incredibly nimble and easy to maneuver. The bike's design emphasizes its focused intent. TECH forks with aluminum bars and 180mm of travel provide excellent feedback and control over varied terrain. A single front disc brake with an NG WAVE floating disc and a monoblock 4-piston BRAKTEC caliper offers ample stopping power when needed. The small 2.5-liter fuel tank underscores the need for efficient riding. This machine is designed for serious trials competitors and experienced riders. The TrialGP 280 rewards skilled riders with exceptional agility and responsiveness. Its lightweight construction, coupled with the torquey engine and capable suspension, makes it a formidable competitor in the hands of a capable trials rider.
