The TXT School 125 performs
incredibly well for its price tag.
Of course, as an economy mod-
el, it's going to give up some of
the luxuries of GasGas' premier
line of bikes, but the decrease
in performance is not as notice-
able as you might expect.
The chassis is very light-
weight and well balanced, which
allows the bike to handle incred-
ibly well, specifically in tight,
technical situations.
Most of the economy com-
ponents of the bike showed
minimal performance disadvan-
tages—however, the suspension
was the most noticeable. That
said, a beginner or even a novice
rider will not likely feel much of
a difference, but as we started
to push the bike with bigger hits
and drops, the suspension blew
through the stroke, front and rear.
In the engine department, it
feels soft on the bottom end, but
makes up for it on top. The lack
of low-end power can actually
be a positive thing for the learn-
ing trials rider, because it forces
you to refine your technique and
learn to manipulate the power
delivery with the clutch.
For any rider that's looking to
get into trials, or even a sea-
soned rider that wants to get on
a new bike without breaking the
bank, the TXT School 125 is a
great option.
The small two-
stroke engine
doesn't make a
ton of bottom-
end but revs
out nicely.
