2006 GAS GAS TXT PRO 280 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around GAS GAS's trial motorcycle platform, the 2006 GAS GAS TXT PRO 280 relies on a 272.2 cc (16.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 76.0 x 60.0 mm (3.0 x 2.4 inches).

On the scales, the TXT PRO 280 measures 67.1 kg (148 lbs) dry.

The 3.1-liter (0.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
