Gas Gas Unveils Its 2013 TXT Racing

Gas Gas presents its TXT Racing 2013, a special machine, perfect for trials enthusiasts who want to get started. It is undoubtedly the next step for riders to make the most of all their skills.

This Racing version of the trials range arrives with important new features. The bike is lighter than its predecessor, with a new plastic fuel tank that makes better use of the space around the engine and is also lighter. The radiator is narrower and easier to fit and remove, and it also improves water flow to optimize engine performance without losing capacity. The TXT Racing incorporates a titanium exhaust pipe and delivers better response at mid and high revs.

Located at the rear is the swingarm, which is also lighter and has better-protected eccentrics from impacts. It also features a built-in anti-rotation axle that makes fitting the rear wheel easier and faster. The new linkage provides greater rear-end stability, more grip and a faster return. The bike is designed to make handling and maintenance easier for the rider, who can change the engine maps with a perfectly accessible, integrated switch.

Among the Racing components, the Reiger shock absorber stands out, with two possible settings, a Keihin carburetor for the 280cc and 300cc, Renthal handlebars and a new S3 cylinder head with an aesthetic design, completed by a shorter new cooling circuit.

Apart from these changes, it also inherits the improvements of the 2012 Replica Raga: the quick-release selector shaft system, a fuel tank devaporization system, a more robust chassis at the upper shock mount, and greater protection for the rear shock linkage.

A marvel that will be available from December in four engine sizes: 125cc, 250cc, 280cc and 300cc.
