Perfectly placed between our much-loved 250 and awesome 300cc trial bikes, the TXT RACING 280 offers the perfect blend of 2-stroke power, low weight, and maneuverability - precisely what improving riders looking for increased power and super-agile handling need. And as with all our trial bikes, it's fitted with high-quality parts like a BRAKTEC hydraulic clutch and brakes, as well as leading suspension to ensure reliability and, most of all, a whole lot of riding fun.
Restyled and red, red, red! What's really cool about our new graphics is that they're embedded into the bodywork making them super durable. The fresh look is applied onto our slim, ergonomic plastics, which ensures unrestricted movements and allows riders to perform at their very best. As all trial riders hit the deck from time to time, all bodywork is made from a special blend of Polypropylene, which is super flexible and returns to its normal shape after impact, even if bent 180 degrees or more!
Strong, but with just the right amount of flex. That's how we build our trial frames, using tubular, 1.5mm 25CrMo4 chrome-moly steel for exceptional levels of rider feedback! Using advanced manufacturing processes, each one is crafted with laser cutting and robot welding. The end result is frames that are incredibly durable and ensure true trial performance. Weighing just 6kg, all frames are complete with a robust GASGAS-red powder coating. Lateral hangers made of forged aluminium connect the steering head zone while a new, larger skid plate provides better protection for the engine, lower frame rails, and linkage.
Mid-sized superstar! Built with the latest 2-stroke technology and designed to be powerful, light, clean burning, and compact, the TXT Racing 280 shares much of the proven architecture as found across the GASGAS trial bike line-up for guaranteed performance. Thanks to years of continued development, the cylinder features thermodynamic intake and exhaust ports which contribute massively to making the engine the most competitive in its class.
