2019 GASGAS TXT RACING 300 FIRST REVIEW P70 has also been updated to enhance modulation and pre- cision. A redesigned brake rotor guard, sprocket guard and chain tensioner top off the complete overhaul of the back section of the motorcycle. In addition to the external changes, key improvements were made to the TXT 300 powerplant to achieve even greater reliability. New crankshaft bearings ensure prop- er lubrication of the engine while allowing a more tightly sealed fit of the entire assembly for greater efficiency and enhanced engine performance. While the previous model of the TXT 300 already boasted one of the most consistent and precise clutches on the market, GasGas decided to up the ante with new variable preload clutch springs and Kevlar plates, that further improve clutch performance. The clutch cover has been split into an inner and outer section to simplify standard maintenance tasks, which is a very welcomed improvement over previous models. Also, of course, you can't forget the bold new graphics, updated fork brace and front fender that cap off the improvements to this rock-hopping machine.
