LouieSpotseano Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hello! I’m looking to get back into trials and have a question about a bike. I'm looking at a used 2017 Gas Gas contact 250. The reviews I read mentioned this was the first year gas gas got back into bikes after their bankruptcy. The article said it is a true trials bike but also makes a good trail bike due to the larger tank and removable seat. Any advice on this year and model bike? My main concern is that I’m buying a true trials bike, not one that is modified for trails riding. any advice, input, thoughts, etc are welcomed. Thanks!

faussy Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Still a true trials bike. AFAIK the only difference is the seat, tank, cheaper forks and rear shock, and dellorto carb. The main parts, frame and engine will be the same as the proper trials bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 It's a trials bike with a couple of tiny modifications to make it nicer for trails, not the other way 'round. They're a good bike for mortal human riders for trials in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
