Overview

Introducing the 2014 GAS GAS TXT Racing 300, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of trial riding with its lightweight dynamics and formidable performance. As a stalwart in the GAS GAS lineup, this Spanish-built machine is designed for serious competitors and enthusiasts alike, offering an exceptional blend of agility and precision. With a heritage deeply rooted in trial riding, the TXT Racing 300 stands out in a niche market that demands both technical prowess and durability, making it an ideal choice for riders looking to conquer the most challenging terrains. At the heart of the TXT Racing 300 is its impressive 294.10 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, which delivers a potent punch for tackling steep inclines and tricky obstacles. The engine's bore and stroke of 79.0 x 60.0 mm work harmoniously with the Keihin PWK 28 carburetor and reed valve intake system, ensuring smooth throttle response and power delivery. With a 6-speed gearbox and a sophisticated GG 1/3 hydraulic-diaphragm clutch, riders can seamlessly navigate through tight spots or accelerate out of tricky situations. The liquid cooling system keeps the engine performing optimally, even during intense trials, while the lightweight design of just 66.5 kg (146.6 pounds) ensures that the bike remains nimble and easy to maneuver. The chassis and suspension of the TXT Racing 300 further enhance its off-road capabilities. Constructed with a robust CrMo steel frame, it provides the stability and strength needed for high-impact riding. The Marzocchi 40 mm front forks and Reiger hydraulic mono shock at the rear offer 177 mm and 164 mm of travel respectively, allowing for precise handling over rocky terrains and deep ruts. Coupled with powerful braking systems featuring a 185 mm front disc and a 150 mm rear disc, this bike is as responsive as it is forgiving, encouraging riders to push their limits. With a compact seat height of 650 mm (25.6 inches), the TXT Racing 300 provides an accessible riding experience for both seasoned competitors and newcomers to the sport. In summary, the 2014 GAS GAS TXT Racing 300 is a well-engineered motorcycle that showcases the best of trial riding technology. It strikes a balance between performance and agility, making it an enticing option for riders eager to elevate their skills on challenging terrain.
