2025 GASGAS TXT Racing 250

Handling

• FRAME: 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 with the large skid plate, that better protects the engine, lower frame rails, and linkage.
• CNC MACHINED TRIPLE CLAMPS: Super cool and guaranteed to ensure front-end stability! Our silver anodized CNC machined triple clamps not only look the business, but they're incredibly lightweight and play a huge role in delivering precise handling.
• TECH FORKS: Smooth and progressive for the very best performance, the 39mm low-friction TECH forks play a vital role in making sure this bike is super agile. On top of the left fork leg you can set up the pre-load while at the bottom you can use the end stroke adjuster to fine tune the compression. Over on the top of the right fork leg you'll be able to fine tune the rebound to really dial in the forks and create a personalized setting.
• SHOCK ABSORBER: To ensure our TXT RACING trial bikes provide you with best-in-class performance, we fit a TECH shock that can be adjusted in various ways to suit your style and ability. By fine tuning the pre-load, compression, and rebound, you can create a personalized set-up for maximum comfort and amazing rear wheel traction.
• SWINGARM: Slim, lightweight, and super-strong! Cast from a single piece of aluminum, the swingarms fitted to the entire TXT RACING range are manufactured with proven rigidity and optimal flex, to soak up the biggest of rear wheel hits with ease.

Motor

• MOTOR: Built to be compact. Built to be lightweight. Built with the latest 2-stroke technology. These three important attributes combine to deliver awesome performance and guarantee day-long fun! And just like with all of our trial bikes, the TXT RACING 250 motor packs a serious punch, mixing low weight and high performance to ensure a next level riding experience.
• CYLINDER HEAD: It's a simple looking part but the new die-cast aluminum cylinder head on the TXT RACING 250 is super important. Firstly, you can now fine tune the power as different inserts are available as a Technical Accessory. And secondly, the flow of the coolant is improved to make sure the motor runs at the perfect temperature at all times.
• CYLINDER & PISTON: Ensuring it delivers strong, torquey power each and every ride, the TXT RACING 250 features a professionally engineered cylinder and piston with specifically designed intake and exhaust ports to make the motor the best in its class. A high-performance forged piston is fitted into the 72.5 mm bore, guaranteeing maximum performance and durability.
• CARBURETOR: Giving our 2-stroke motors all the fuel they need for a wide spread of smooth, strong power is the Keihin PWK 28 mm carburetor.
• TRANSMISSION: Light, strong, and reliable. Just what you'd want from a transmission! A few small refinements for 2025 improve shifting and durability, giving an even better riding experience. The clever 4/6 system allows riders to select from 6 gears when there are only 4 gears on the internal transmission shaft, saving weight and allowing for super compact crankcases. Cool huh! A new addition for the TXT RACING models is that they now feature the same shift lever as our GP bikes, which leads to more positive shifts, even when it's muddy.
• CRANKSHAFT: The TXT RACING 250 crankshaft is key to the motor delivering great traction as well as helping give the bike it's much-loved handling. Perfectly balanced to deliver optimized inertia, its low weight and positioning within the crankcases ensure riders can rely on instant power and enjoy a super agile ride. To increase durability, we use a closed main bearing made by SKF with the strong connecting rod using two needle bearings.
• CRANKCASE: Designed so that the internal parts and shafts within the motor are carefully positioned to boost the bike's overall handling characteristics, the high-pressure die-cast process used to make the crankcases ensures they are super lightweight and extremely tough. Also, the clutch cover includes the clutch master cylinder, further highlighting the overall compact nature of the motor.
• EXHAUST SYSTEM: A stainless-steel front pipe and rear silencer maximize the power and torque from our compact 2-stroke motors. Both components are low in weight for uncompromised handling yet high in strength for incredible durability. Speaking of things being durable, the silencer end cap is designed to keep out of harm's way and reduce the risk of any potential damage. And when it comes to changing the silencer packing, an easy-access design makes a not so fun job a whole lot quicker and easier. Thank us later!
• CLUTCH: Release all the torque and power you need with just one finger thanks to our super light BRAKTEC hydraulic clutch! The reliable system is designed to ensure even wear for smooth operation and exceptional performance at all times. Consisting of three Kevlar friction plates, two steel plates, and a Belleville spring design, hours and hours of maintenance free riding is guaranteed. A durable clutch cover guarantees higher stiffness and a smoother profile lever offers a more comfortable feel.

Parts

• KICKSTARTER: A strong and reliable kickstarter is designed for one thing only - to make sure starting the bike is quick and easy. Okay, that was two things...
• BRAKTEC BRAKES: For complete control, trial specific BRAKTEC brakes are fitted with the monoblock 4-piston caliper and 185 mm NG waved front disc delivering unrivalled performance and accurate braking in all conditions. Together with a 2-piston caliper and a 150 mm NG waved disc at the rear, the overall stopping power on the TXT Racing range is next level. A smoother profile front brake lever also offers a more comfortable feel.
• FAN AND RADIATORS: The seriously clever integrated cooling system on our TXT RACING trial bikes is further improved with a redesigned fan that increases air flow and reduces sound. And with the radiator neatly tucked away between the aluminum engine mounts, the whole system is well protected from crash damage for continued 2-stroke performance.
• WHEELS: They're built to last. Strength and reliability combine to create high performing wheels that will stand the test of time. With a CNC machined hub connected to the cool, black anodized aluminum rims from MORAD with lightweight spokes, this wheelset is capable of soaking up the hardest of hits. Up front, the aluminum axle is low in weight, high in strength, and plays a huge part in ensuring the front-end has a lightweight feeling.
• TIRES: MICHELIN's super-light X11 tires connect all our TXT RACING bikes to the rocks, mud, and obstacles beneath them. The best in the business, they feature super-pliable knobbles, which together with low pressures offer exceptional grip.
• IGNITION/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: HIDRIA ignitions generate stronger power, which stabilizes idling and creates a cleaner response from the bottom end. Depending on your riding style and weather conditions, the handlebar mounted map switch allows for a choice of two ignition curves, which can be selected for tailored power in every section.
• FOOT PEGS: To improve comfort on the bike, the footpegs have been fully redesigned with an increased surface area closer to the frame. This unique design including a fixing bolt which is completely hidden in the frame allows riders to grip the bike more efficiently which enhances control considerably when compared to previous models. The same tried and tested special micro-casting process is retained for continued low weight and maximum grip.

Style

• BODYWORK: New year, new look. Our fresh graphics certainly make a statement, ensuring the GASGAS TXT RACING 250 stands out from the crowd. The new design is applied to slim, smooth, and ergonomic bodywork that allows you to get into all kinda shapes as you clean the gnarliest of sections. It's likely that you'll hit the deck from time to time too, which is why all GASGAS bodywork is made from a special blend of Polypropylene. What's so special? Well, it's super flexible and will return to its normal shape even if it's bent more than 180 degrees!
• AIRBOX: There aren't many bikes that have an airbox with a such a clever design, but ours do! Not only does it house the top-quality Twin Air filter, but the overall structure also plays a vital role in allowing our trial bikes to be super slim. With easy access to the airbox, filter changes are made quick and easy with just one bolt securing the filter in place.
• HANDLEBARS & GRIPS: Strong, lightweight, and tapered NEKEN handlebars are fitted with RENTHAL grips for the best in both strength and comfort. With the bars clamped into the handlebar clamps made of forged aluminum the entire front-end of the TXT RACING range is super stable with a familiar feel for a confidence boosting ride, time after time. This provides improved stiffness and better feedback to the rider plus we increased protection by adding a bar pad.
• FUEL TANK: Redesigned for enhanced ergonomics while fitting seamlessly within the frame and bodywork, the compact 0.58-gal (2.2-liter) fuel tank is held in place with just one bolt, ensuring fast removal and quick re-installation.
