Trial Tube - The NEW GASGAS TXT Racing - 2023 - How good is it?
Exclusives content!! Brand new factory launch. Brand new Bike!
Can you imagine what people may say? We could, so we did it. As always honest reviews paired with experience and "some" ability will always be the thing that separates our content. This is the first and only in-depth review of the world's newest bike and the "hot off the press" build from the guys at the NEW GASGAS factory!
But hey! This is TRIALTUBE!

I actually got to ride for half an hour yesterday ( circles and figure eights on the driveway as we’re still buried in snow). First impression is super positive though. I just read every comment on this video and really appreciate that you actually take the time to read all of them and reply to 98%. Shows a very high level of integrity. Thank you Mr. Butler.

Great review as always Danny. My last GasGas was a TXT321 (back in 1999/2000). New GasGas looks great, hopefully it rides as good as it looks. Might be a future replacement for my current 2020 TRS RR250.

I’m glad you like it, it’s completely different to what I expected! No wonder they sold the stock off cheap, with that bad boy in the wings. Still keeping my DL 300 for now, injection is brilliant.

Almost everyone of the Fi bikes are lighter than the Gasgas (apart from the Mont) Also Fuel injected bikes rarely have issues when they are not messed around with. Where as a carb can pull water in for as simple as a lost drain off hose. My Beta was a pain in the ass, every ride requires a carb and Airbox clean….
This new design of flexible rear mudguards is a poor business decision. I , personally and other bad riders have kept several trials bike manufacturers financially solvent over the years with our constant demand for rear plastics😂

Great review Danny! I have been riding dirt bikes all my life but never ridden a trials bike. I have been considering buying one for a few years but wanted to get a used bike for my first trials machine. Living in the USA there are not a lot of options for used bikes, especially in my area. I have a couple gas gas dealers within driving distance that have new 2023 models in stock. For a first bike I am considering the 2023 TXT 250. I cannot decide between the Racing model or the GP model. I am 6’2” and 215 Lbs and am wondering if the suspension on the GP model is worth the extra money. Also wondering if the 300 is too much for a first bike? I know I don’t need the extra power, but is it noticeably more difficult to ride? I know it’s all about throttle control, but an not sure when it comes to a trials bike. Thanks Danny!

I can give you "One bad thing" that you should have recognized and brought up about the new GG, as the new boss is the same as the old boss. And that's that huge chrome exhaust header pipe. It has the most exposed chrome of any bike, and all that chrome on that huge bend makes heat like my Grandma's old stokermatic. You get anything, pants or even worse, skin against it and that pipe will absolutely melt it into a puddle. Happens in a nano second. GG's have always been the worst for this. Can't tell you how many pants I had with a classic GG melt on the right upper inside calf. It did on all 4 of the GG's I owned and I can guarantee it will on that one too. The rest of the bike sounds amazing though. So much so that I'll consider it for future bike, and I hope they don't go EFI. May be all space age, but I can't work on them.

Ok, “This is 2022,” is adequate in a technology basis and development basis. It’s lazy that the bikes haven’t evolved past a carb. Saying “It isn’t broken, so why fix it?” Is also not an adequate answer. Don’t you think the consistent development would benefit the sport? The bikes? As well as the consumers? Imagine if the motorcar didn’t evolve past the original Bentleys and Rolls Royce’s of the past?
Not to say that I have regrets or don't like my new bike but in all honesty from an underskilled wanker who loves dirt bikes...a few 'Bads" you could have mentioned that I've noticed after 3 solid days riding a fresh 2023 300 txt race. #1) Seems to be a pain in the butt to start......I did some interweb searching (along with trying different carb settings)...this seems like a Gasgas trait? ...sometimes I think I have the technique mastered and she fires right up and I smile...only to have it need 10 pain in the butt non-ergonomic kicks the next time I shut it off. "Tricks" that seem to work sometimes maybe.... lean the whole bike far down to left for a few seconds....Put in 2nd gear and rock to and back...open throttle wide open and kick hard. Sometimes just one of the things work...sometimes none of them do and I have to sit around and wait for the bike to want to run...which is usually OK as I am tired form all the kicking. #2) the decals above the pegs are all chipped/wearing off from my boots rubbing...and along that theme...the Gasgas is a pretty Plain Jane ride...BEAUTIFUL in form and function, but leaves plenty of room for sexy BOLD new graphics and bling in years to come...and maybe perhaps a clear fuel tank to know how much petrol is on board because she does seem thirsty. #3) She seems to be a little hefty compared to the Betas I test rode before buying the GasGas...didn't think I'd notice it, but I think do and from what I found online...assuming the mfg's aren't lying..the bike is actually heavier than the Beta. Bonus: Dealers...maybe nice folks, but seem to know ZERO about these trials bikes and don't stock anything lie a spare air filter or oil etc. Or know or seem to care anything about proper set up and jetting at elevation 5700'+- which maybe? has something to do with the starting??? So, I while I like being under the KTM umbrella and that is part of what drew me in...along with the factory rebate making it seem like a fair deal that a weak minded bloke like me did not have the strength to refuse.... the smaller local (Beta, Sherco, TMracing,EM) dealer seems to have way more passion for all things 2 wheels. 🛵 As far as "goods" The clutch/power delivery is brilliant..esp compared to any Sherco I've been on is amazing, Agreed....the rear fender flexibility and attachment system leaves me wondering why it took trials bike builders so long to figure this out and this has already saved me huge $$$... Access to the oil drain plug and air filter make service a breeze. Love Trials Tube and all your material...thanks for all the great videos!!! 👍

I think they are just making the bike more inline with the other MX and enduro bikes.
This is the best 2 stroke trial now? Better than Nitro?! 🤔

bruh not in south africa. a new montessa will put you back ZAR200K compared to the GAS's ZAR150K. which is a 2.25K pound sterling difference over here. Crazy I know....

@@TrialTube I know!!! cry a thousand tears!! Apart from the fact that honda is an all-time favorite over here the parts are ridiculously expensive, similar to BMW or KTM motorcycle parts but the tech support is almost non existent. that is why I prefer carbs.

Seems good bike not big lover of colour... I think gas gas gp bikes looked better tho .... not fan of boring black forks and black wheels silver triple clamps Gas gas need get back to nice gold or red trick anodised bits....shame they don't come with nice set of anodised wheels aswell... So for price I'd rather vertigo or trs least they come with all nice anodised bits standard 👍

I know what you are saying and they have gone with a new identity on this one. I looks sleek and rides very well. Hard to argue the design fact. The GP looks awesome though.

I hope on 2023 model gas gas have sorted better steering bump stop so frame don't get marked up and dented just from turning bike.. the bottom fork yoke hits frame when hoping about on full lock marks frame up 😏 sort problem out gas gas some of us try look after lovely red frame paint and don't like damaging paint just turning bike also sort your workshop torque specs out they are way to high bolts snap using torque setting from gas gas workshop manual... I won't buy another gas gas nightmare for snapping bolts I think beta is built better
