Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a pure competition trials machine best suited to riders with dedicated trials skills or serious offroad experience, not general street or dirt bike riders.
PurposeBuilt exclusively for technical trials competition, obstacle negotiation, and extreme low-speed balance riding rather than any form of speed or distance riding.
Rider FitIts featherweight construction and no-seat riding stance demand strong core balance and standing endurance rather than raw strength, and there is no passenger accommodation or seated comfort to speak of.
CharacterAn ultra-light, razor-agile single-cylinder two-stroke trials iron designed to pivot, hop, and climb over obstacles with immediate, precise response.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for anyone wanting a comfortable commuter, a touring companion, or a fast road or track bike, as it has no seat comfort, minimal fuel range, and very limited top speed.

2011 GAS GAS TXT Pro Raga 280 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 650mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 GAS GAS TXT Pro Raga 280, with a cramped knee angle of around 55 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
