Review
The 2008 GAS GAS TXT 300 Raga is a trials motorcycle built for competition and technical riding. Sharing its 294cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine with the TXT 300 Pro, it provides strong, tractable power for navigating challenging obstacles. The engine's responsiveness is crucial for maintaining control in demanding situations. Like its Pro counterpart, the Raga features a low 665mm seat height and a lightweight design, weighing in at just 65.5 kg. This contributes to exceptional agility and balance. A 40mm adjustable telehydraulic front fork provides responsive suspension, and a single front disc brake handles stopping duties. The 3.1-liter fuel tank is tailored for shorter, competition-focused sessions. Targeting experienced trials riders seeking a competitive edge, the GAS GAS TXT 300 Raga offers a finely tuned package for conquering technical terrain. Its lightweight construction, responsive engine, and optimized ergonomics make it a formidable machine in the hands of a skilled rider.
