2018 GASGAS TXT Racing 300

Showroom New With Only 8.7 Hours

Absolutely Pristine Exceptional Condition

an incredibly lightweight, competition-developed trials motorcycle with only 8.7 grass ridden hours.

This machine presents as though it just came out of the crate. It was ridden only a handful of times around a grassy yard and was never competed, ridden through mud, or subjected to rocks and serious trials obstacles. It is essentially just broken in and remains remarkably close to showroom condition.

World-Championship Racing Pedigree

The TXT Racing 300 comes from one of the most successful platforms in professional trials competition. Spain won the 2018 FIM Trial des Nations with two of its three riders—Jeroni Fajardo and Jaime Busto—competing aboard GASGAS machinery. Fajardo finished the 2018 TrialGP World Championship as runner-up, while Busto ranked fourth after scoring his first premier-class victory.

These motorcycles were designed in Spain specifically for observed trials. This isn’t an enduro motorcycle adapted for competition—it is a purpose-built trials machine engineered to climb, balance, pivot, and conquer obstacles that appear nearly impossible.

Our firsthand experience confirms just how race-ready GASGAS trials motorcycles are. Kaplan Cycles sponsored the 2026 GASGAS Trials team and delivered ten essentially stock motorcycles to the World Trials event in Rhode Island. These are true competition machines straight from the factory.

Approximately 149 Pounds of Pure Performance

At approximately 149 pounds, this TXT Racing 300 combines an incredibly low overall weight with the immediate torque of its purpose-built 300cc two-stroke engine. Put an experienced rider aboard one of these machines and the capability is astonishing—they can climb walls, leap obstacles, and maneuver through terrain that would stop an ordinary motorcycle immediately.

The specialized six-speed transmission features extremely low lower gearing for precise technical sections and a tall sixth gear for traveling between obstacles. The hydraulic clutch provides the progressive, predictable engagement essential for accurate trials riding.

Premium Competition Equipment

This TXT Racing 300 is equipped with top-quality trials components, including:

• Purpose-built 300cc GASGAS two-stroke engine

• Specialized six-speed trials transmission

• Öhlins rear shock

• TECH front forks with silver-coated fork tubes

• Hydraulic clutch

• Lightweight black aluminum rims

• Original Michelin trials tires

• Powerful front and rear disc brakes

• Gold drive chain

• Black rear sprocket

• Red-anodized axle hardware

• Enduro Engineering handguards

• Competition footpegs

• Original kickstand

• Factory bodywork and graphics

Everything about this motorcycle was engineered for competition. It remains fully capable of competing with considerably newer trials bikes while being offered for a fraction of the cost of a new machine.

Extraordinary Original Condition

The photographs tell the story. The original Michelin tires remain in outstanding condition. The swingarm graphics are crisp and undamaged, while the pegs, levers, rims, chain, sprocket, and anodized hardware remain exceptionally clean.

Look closely at the areas that reveal how a trials motorcycle has actually been used:

• No visible boot wear or damage along the frame

• No dents in the exhaust pipe

• No evidence of the undercarriage being dragged across rocks

• No scratches on the lower fork legs

• No mud staining or hard-use damage

• No competition wear

• Original components remain exceptionally well preserved

Finding an eight-year-old trials motorcycle in this condition is nearly unheard of. Most were immediately used for their intended purpose and accumulated scratches, dents, and undercarriage damage. This one was preserved as a showpiece and lightly used only as a backyard trainer.

Recently Serviced and Ready to Ride

We have thoroughly serviced the motorcycle so its next owner can enjoy it immediately. Recent service includes:

• Engine oil serviced

• Air filter serviced

• Hydraulic fluids serviced

• Cooling system serviced with fresh coolant

• Complete inspection performed

Everything has been addressed. This is a turn-key, no-excuses motorcycle that needs nothing except a new owner.

Whether you are an experienced trials rider looking for an exceptionally clean competitive machine, a collector searching for a remarkably preserved GASGAS, or a new rider ready to enter the sport with professional-grade equipment, this TXT Racing 300 is an outstanding opportunity.

Only 8.7 Hours. Grass-Ridden. Never Competed. Recently Serviced. Exceptionally Preserved.

We offer financing for qualified buyers, accept trades, and can arrange fully insured enclosed transportation anywhere in the continental United States. The motorcycle will be handled by a professional, licensed carrier and delivered directly to your door.

Please study all photographs and contact us with any questions before purchasing. Call Junior at Kaplan Cycles to make this extraordinary GASGAS yours.

A trials motorcycle this clean will not last long.

God bless America.
