That radiator looks nicely protected now too. Your R&D work for them has been good.

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.

Such a good watch! Good times meeting you 👊

As a touring musician and sound engineer, I know that lack of sleep can make you hypereuphoric, so I take your enthusiasm with a pinch of salt, but that aside, I must confess: Your enthusiasm is contagious. 👍🏼 Who knows, maybe I'll switch back from a 3 letter bike to a 6 letter bike? The good thing about my situation is: I don't have to ask my wife for permission! 🤪

Wow Danny I am a GasGas owner & you’ve just made my day 👏👏 GasGas for Lifey ❤️❤️❤️

Loving this excitement! Well done GasGas.

I absolutely applaud you for your honesty in reviewing bikes. My dealer got a txt racing 300 by mistake yesterday. I traded my 2022 250 racing in on it today. I can’t wait for spring to arrive.

Thanks for another great video. Just want to add that your inspiration has got me back on a bike, albeit an electric mountain bike with a throttle so I can go and play pretend trials riding on easy pretend sections and rediscover skills I never actually had to begin with.

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.

Good job....nice ride for just jumping on....candor is always a winner

Brilliant video, love you're content and now I'm strongly considering the new txt250 racing.

great video! love the channel

Great vid Mr Butler, I bet the GG marketing and PR people were a tad worried when you arrived. Have you ever thought about a career in politics, you could teach them a thing or two about honesty and telling the truth. Keep up the good work, DB for PM 😁

Awesome review Danny! I was a wee bit nervous as to how it'd go for you, beyond the red carpet roll out and pampering and beers! Now I can get some sleep knowing the new GG is one tidy machine! Looking forward to replacing my 21 GP with the new GP model later this year!!

I think is the best good looking of current trials bike. It has a very clean design.

Great video!

agree injection and e-start button to make it fully in contention for top of the market, missed opportunities

Rear fenders snap with side loads it seems Apparently grinding off the support tabs helps this.

Good day sir, excellent video by the way. Really enjoying the channel! Question for you I’ve got my sights on a new 2023 GG 300 and a friend recently stepped in and suggested I look at a Vertigo JBR or whatever was available. Curious now that the head of product development isn’t staring at you which bike would you spring for? I’m a bit torn

Great review. Can't deny I'm thinking of upgrading my 2022 250Txt Racing - my first ever trial bike 😁 - to the 23 model as it looks so good (looks are important, right?). How would the bike feel different between carb and injection?

Good video, makes me want a 2023. Is the kick start gear improved? Easier starting?

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. But you know gas gas have already got an injection in development😉 this bike will make them the money to finish that development. More of your show would be heavenly 👍

Im right now wating for my GP 300.. My bike currently is a gasgas GP 300 from 2020. I look forward to test out the new bike.

You won't change from a Vertigo INJECTION , it's perfection. like the gases though< and well done to them. my son rides a 20 year old gasgas I bought him new, he's brilliant on it.

I’ve had a couple of Gassers, never really liked them to be honest, always ended up back on a Mont or Beta. So far, this new bike makes me want to give them another go.

Great review.

As always...thanks Danny. Congratulations on the VIP treatment on the trip and well done on the first unbiased "free press" review of the new model. It sounds like GasGas aimed to impress and they hit the target. You mention a 280 but, the GG website does not list a 280. Was it in actuality a 250 you also rode? If so, what was your impression of the power of the smaller displacement? Cheers!

I would love a video on foot to peg placement and trials stance in general. I'm switching from dirt bike to trials and know there are good habits on a dirt bike that aren't good for trials that I will have to change but I have seen a lot of opinions on trials foot placement and am curious what your take is on it

Excellent info - my question is, does the kickstart lever still hit the foot peg??

Great video. You are right. Missed a trick not opting for fuel injection. Great bike though

Looks good

Is that Baco-foil to insulate the bottom of the petrol tank...and yes, we can hear the fan running in this video ? Gas Gas Pro models, great to ride not so great to own. I've had 4 Gassers btw.

Fantastic video just found your Chanel …Have they changed air box or still under seat ??

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!

For a first time trials bike, for a 6’2” bloke, what cc would you recommend and why? I only want to do freeriding.

Glad you said it;s a GOOD BIKE, Because i watched THEIR Video on how THEY re-Branded the GasGas Bike 85% NEW Bike with Top-Notch parts. Now as a complete Novice WHAT CC would you Recommend. Bn Very sick 12 Years [So Lost a lot of weight/Strength] BUT getting something like this WOULD GET ME OUT THE BLOODY HOUSE. I;ve had an Mint Honda XR400r4// New WR250F// 600 Ninja///R1/ So love my bikes BUT NEVER Ridden an Trial Bike.

Danny loved the vid, but as a trials newbie I was left wondering ahhh what about the models?

Hi Danny, Would u give up the Vertigo for it though 🤔

GG has always been the best Trial above all brands...by far far far. the rear exhaust cover is much better than before, hopefully is doesn't brake as easy as before...

Hey mate, I’m looking at getting into Trial and am wondering your thoughts between a 250 and a 300? I currently ride a ktm 300 tpi and have been practicing on that so should i go to a 300? Im currently looking at either a Vertigo DL 23 model or Gas Gas TXT racing 23 model.

I forgot to ask, what sort of hp, and torque figures does this bike produce ? Also what's its weight ?

I just ordered 2022 TXT model with massive savings, should I reconsider? :)

Based on your reviews I am looking at GasGas 250 and Sherco 250. I am 100kg complete noob in trials, just trying to figure out which one to get :) Any tips? Beta is also an option, particularly the 4T ;)

saying not making it fuel injected is a big mistake is imo very good. if something happens to the fuel injection u would need diagnostic tools and therefore could not repair it by urself. fuel injection would prolly make the bike heavier aswell?

Does anyone know if the new kick starter will fit a 2021 bike? I am sitting here with a bust leg lol

EM needs a mudguard like that ;-)

Did they give any pricing estimates? Definitely want to upgrade my old GasGas to this one 👍

How could you skip over the starter gear change Danny? That was a huge gripe for many in the old design. Great video and thanks for the transparency!

This is an awesome video! I'm very close to putting a deposit on a 2023 Gas Gas TXT 250. Every video and forum say nothing but good about this bike. The only concern I'm having is many videos and forums talk about how hard the bike is to start. I'm 59 years old and not a young man anymore. I don't have the lungs to have to kick 20 times to start the bike. Please can you clarify this concern? If you give me the green light that the bike starts easily I'm going to drop a deposit. Thanks so much

I like it

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😂

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. Thanks for another great video.

Have you tested a TRS RR?

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!!! 👍

Great review as always!!! 250 or 280 for an average hobby rider? Many thanks

Bad thing number 2 not a 200 model for me the older clubman but all in all looks a great bike

I can't speak for everybody, but I don't have 30 mins of life to give just so you can ramble off on endless tangents. This could have been a really cool review if you had just made everything more succinct and tidy like the engine bay.

Well crap. I think I have to sell my 2021 now. Thanks Butler

👍

can u make a video or a comparison to the new trs. u never made a vid about trs

Really Into that mudguard.. I’d like to see it bend in typical English cold weather..needs more graphic?? Look bit boring ..

Hey, we dont want injection, because it's to complex, because with a carburator if there is a problem it's solved in 5 min !

Very specifically, why do you feel that not having fuel injection is a "massive mistake"? ("This is 2022" is not an adequate answer)

Looks like they still have that crap back brake pedal that bends so easy,and almost un straightnable. Had my gasgas 6 months went through 3 brake pedals. Eventually made one up from a broken one without the kink in it ,perfect never bent another one. Friend of mine went through 6 in the French 4 day.it Needs tucking out of the way,snug in like most other new bikes. Not evey one rides sections on the back wheel missing all rocks.sorry just had to put my peneth in... back brake is crap... there said it again.. that back brake is all 3 bad points+ vat... keep up the good work like your opinion on trials bikes.

hello how about I am Arenitas I also make videos like you. Yours are very good. Thank you.! I'm looking forward to trying the GG hurts that I was not invited hehehe.. So now I have a question for you. Which bike is more stable. Vertigo Nitro or GG. And if you had to choose between the two Nitro or GG bikes which would be the ideal one for you. Thank you!

That’s what she said, I Approve of this childish humour 😆

i love carburettors. FI is a nightmare in country where resources are limited. nah.... gasgas has all you need.

What size engine did you say it has ? Well, if it's that perfect it just wouldn't work for me to get one. I would have nothing to blame my screw ups on !!!

Still the same old ground spike side stand though, why doesn't it have a foot!!

thinking bout getting a beta Evo factory edition ... but then this came out ... I started on a gas gas but now it needs a new bottom end .. decisions .. decisions

Billy Bolt to GasGas next year he’s been saying how he misses trials but Husky doesn’t make one

my understand there is no difference in the GP & Race in the power/torque output ,etc.

I won’t consider one until they add an electric start option

250 vs 300 ??

Next step...a fully electric one! ♻🔋👏💪🔝❤

Wish it was orange.

Looks like a prototype

when you drop it in water you can easily clean out the carb. not FI. it is a nightmare. also FI tent to run and gulp a bit, still, sucking in water. carbs flood immediately saving you a lot of money.

Do the test on the new Yamaha

This is the best 2 stroke trial now? Better than Nitro?! 🤔

Why it's not FI?😋

Interesting insight for field repairs - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndWmetSIus3Mh4E.html

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 👍

this bike is a lot less expensive than the competitors. sooo...carb is just fine with me.

bad thing number 1 . reliable

great vid Danny see they've sorted out the crap decals by totally removing them TBH its not got any personality

lol

Mate you need to wear sunscreen!

i'll rather ride this bike than me wife. the bike weighs less.

It’s so bland

i know 1 bad thing. 1no graphics it looks like a bike with a new fender without graphics on.

Its just another ktm with more chineseium parts
