Review
The 2023 GAS GAS TXT 280 Racing is a purpose-built trials motorcycle designed for precision and control. Its 272.2cc single-cylinder engine delivers tractable power, crucial for navigating challenging terrain and maintaining grip. The six-speed gearbox provides the necessary ratios for both slow-speed technical sections and faster transitions. With a low seat height of 650mm and a lightweight of 69.4 kg, the TXT 280 Racing offers exceptional maneuverability and responsiveness. The ergonomics of the TXT 280 Racing prioritize rider input and balance. The narrow profile and carefully positioned footpegs allow for maximum lean angle and control. The TECH front suspension with adjustable rebound, compression, end stroke, and spring preload regulation provides a customizable ride to suit various terrains and rider preferences. Braking is handled by a single front disc with a four-piston BRAKTEC caliper, offering ample stopping power for controlled descents and precise maneuvers. This motorcycle is aimed squarely at experienced trials riders who demand the best in performance and handling. Its focus on lightweight, responsive power, and adjustable suspension makes it a formidable tool for tackling the most demanding courses. The 2.4-liter fuel tank keeps the weight down, ensuring that the bike remains nimble and responsive during long competitions.
