Review
The 2019 GAS GAS TXT Racing 280 is a trials motorcycle designed for technical riding and competitive events. Its 272.2cc single-cylinder engine offers a balance of power and control, crucial for navigating challenging terrain. The six-speed gearbox allows for precise gear selection, optimizing engine performance for various situations. A low weight of 66.0 kg and a 650mm seat height contribute to its nimble handling. The TXT Racing 280's design focuses on rider input and maneuverability. The narrow frame enables greater lean angles, while the TECH front suspension with 180mm of travel effectively absorbs bumps and maintains stability. Braking is provided by a single front disc with four-piston calipers, offering consistent and reliable stopping power. This motorcycle is suited for experienced trials riders seeking a capable and responsive machine. Its combination of a torquey engine, lightweight chassis, and well-tuned 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.
