DIRT NEWS “By joining this project from the beginning, I feel like I can really help to bring some value by using my experience to develop the bike and to show people what we are all about. There’s a freshness and a lot of energy about everything and I’m excited for people to see what we’ve been working on. Everyone that knows me knows how competitive I am, racing in new colours definitely makes me more determined to challenge for more race wins. Being a GasGas rider means I get to race their exciting new enduro models as well as train on their amazing trial machines.” “Trial is still a big part of my life, the perfect way to prepare for the WESS Enduro World Championship. I’m already enjoying riding my TXT RACING 300 and know that I have the best bike available to sharpen my skills. Although this year has been different because of coronavirus, I do feel ready to get back racing. I’m really looking forward to returning to competition as a GasGas rider.” GASGAS TXT GP TRIALS LINE EMERGES F ollowing on from the launch of the 2020 GasGas TXT Racing line of trials bikes, GasGas has upped the game with the uprated GP line. The factory edition bikes slot into the GasGas lineup as the Spanish marque’s flagship trial machines and feature an extensive list of upgraded and premium components to ensure optimum performance. Using the experience and know-how earned from 15 successful FIM Trial World Championship campaigns and available in four capacities – 300cc, 280cc, 250cc and 125cc – the TXT GP models deliver the proven stability, accurate steering, minimal weight and smooth, and controllable power needed for trials dominance. Fitted with premium suspension components, a carbon fibre airbox, factory racing graphics and many other technical highlights, GasGAs TXT GP models should allow riders to excel no matter how difficult the competition. All parts featured on TXT GP machines are available for purchase from official GASGAS Motorcycles dealers, for use on all TXT RACING models. While trials bikes aren’t everyone’s cup of milo, you’ve got to admit, the blood-red pain and flowing lines of the TXT GP bikes looks about as purposeful as you can get. 22 KIWI RIDER
