Review
The 2018 GAS GAS TXT 280 Racing E 4 is a trials motorcycle designed for technical riding and competitive events, adhering to Euro 4 emissions standards. Its 272.2cc single-cylinder engine provides the power needed for navigating challenging terrain with precision and control. The six-speed gearbox allows for precise gear selection, optimizing engine performance for various situations. Weighing in at 67.5 kg with a seat height of 650mm, the TXT 280 Racing E 4 offers a nimble and responsive platform. The motorcycle's design prioritizes rider input and maneuverability. The narrow frame allows for greater lean angles, while the TECH front suspension, featuring adjustable rebound, compression, end stroke, and spring preload, effectively absorbs bumps and maintains stability. Braking is handled by a single front disc with a four-piston BRAKTEC caliper and NG WAVE floating disc, providing consistent and reliable stopping power. This motorcycle is ideal for experienced trials riders seeking a capable and environmentally conscious machine. Its combination of a responsive engine, lightweight chassis, and adjustable suspension makes it a strong contender in competitive trials. The 2.5-liter fuel tank helps keep the weight down, maintaining the bike's agility and responsiveness.
