Trials motorcycles have become more highly specialised in the past 20 years in order to cope with the pushing demands of elite motorcyclists. The engine, frame geometry and specifications have evolved dramatically. Motorcycle company GasGas is not one to miss out on this involvement to ensure they deliver magnificent motorcycles every year. This time, let us check out the 2019 TXT Racing 300! According to CycleNews, the 2019 TXT Racing 300 is the latest flagship trials motorcycle from GasGas. It is rather lightweight and is arguably one of the top trials motorcycles on the market for several years. Could this really be? The new model resembles its older counterpart but with slight improvements.

The new TXT 300 comes with a brand new aluminium swingarm to provide for increased stability and traction. It also has a new mounting configuration that utilises double sealed bearings for longer service intervals. The rear-brake master cylinder has been improved to enhance precision and modulation as well. It also features a new progressive shock linkage design for better suspension performance across the board. It also comes with a redesigned brake rotor guard, sprocket guard, and chain tensioner for the back section of the bike. In terms of the internal modifications, the TXT 300 features new crankshaft bearings for proper lubrication of the engine. This would improve the engine performance.
