Review
The 2019 GAS GAS TXT GP 280 is a high-performance trials motorcycle designed for competitive use. Its 272.2cc single-cylinder engine delivers strong, responsive power, essential for conquering challenging obstacles. The six-speed gearbox allows for precise gear selection to maximize engine performance in varying terrain. A weight of 69.5 kg and a seat height of 660mm contribute to its agility and control. The GP 280 features ergonomics optimized for rider input and balance. The narrow frame and carefully positioned controls allow for seamless transitions and precise movements. The TECH front suspension, with adjustable rebound, compression, end stroke, and spring preload, provides a customizable ride to suit individual rider preferences and course conditions. Braking is handled by a single front disc with a four-piston BRAKTEC caliper and NG WAVE floating disc, ensuring reliable stopping power. Targeted towards experienced trials riders, the TXT GP 280 is a competition-focused machine. Its combination of a potent engine, lightweight chassis, and adjustable suspension makes it a formidable tool in the hands of a skilled rider. The larger 3.5-liter fuel tank offers extended range for longer competitions.
