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 safely securing the filter in place.

Features & Benefits

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.

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.

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.
