The GasGas trials bike lineup continues to evolve under the stewardship of Pierer Mobility AG, which also owns KTM, Husqvarna, and WP. Still made in Spain, despite Austrian ownership, the 2024 GasGas TXT GP 250 and GP 300 top-of-the-line trials bikes have several new features worth checking out.
- A new Tech TJ3 shock is used. Surprisingly, WP suspension has yet to show up on GasGas trails bikes. However, that hasn’t stopped GasGas from improving the suspension. The new Tech TJ3 shock from Italy offers 24 clicks of compression and rebound adjustability, along with 10mm of spring preload adjustment. The shock reservoir gets a 25 percent volume increase. The TJ3 shock is matched with a Tech fork with a Kashima Coat on the legs.
- Akrapovič provides the exhaust system. Straight from Slovenia comes a high-end exhaust system for the 2024 TXT GP 250 and 300. The titanium head pipe drops over 12 ounces compared to the old header, and power is increased in the sweet spot of a trials bike powerband—2000 to 7000 rpm.
- New FIM-approved disc brakes make the GPs GP-ready, and safer. The discs are designed to eliminate finger injuries from minders when trying to save a bike from crashing.
- A new shift lever is designed to be more reliable. The tip is shorter to prevent mud buildup, which can hinder gear changes.
- High-end components found on the 2024 GasGas TXT GP 250 and GP 300 return. You’ll still find a Neken handlebar from France, Renthal grips from England, Braktec braking and clutch actuation systems from Spain, and Michelin Trial Competition X11 tires—tube-type front and tubeless radial rear.
- The two-stroke motors have interchangeable cylinder-head inserts for personalization of the power delivery. Those hoping for EFI will have to wait, as the highly regarded Keihin 28mm PWK semi-flat-slide carburetor continues to fuel the combustion chamber. Starting is kick-only, and lubrication is via premix.
- The 2024 GasGas TXT GP lineup should be available from dealers right now. While we don’t have list prices for the GP 250 or GP 300 yet, we can tell you that they’re both red.
