agiow Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 The old question 4 stroke v 2 stroke it will be down to personal preference and what you feel most comfortable riding if you have a chance to spend an afternoon on both that may sway your decision one way or the other. i personally prefer 2 stroke and currently have a 2021 GasGas 300 , [ So i am a bit bias ] But looking to swap it for a Vertigo Nitro having rode one a few times lately and felt very comfortable on it. the Montesa is a lovely bike excellent build quality, I do think GasGas isn't to far behind in regards to build quality I don't know what level you compete at but you may wish to fit a flywheel weight and slow action throttle to the GasGas just to smooth out the power delivery. Sorry that i can't be more helpful 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robson Posted October 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 no, no this is not about 2t vs 4t just wonder if Gas Gas is any good today cause never had one part accessibility, reliability etc etc. I heard e.g they had issue with the frame in the past wonder also if TXT version has good enough components? like brakes, suepsnion, rims etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agiow Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Never had an issue with getting parts , apart from consumables i've never really had to order any parts [ So far ] it has been very reliable never let me down As for an issue with the fames , i know there was an issue a long time ago with the early Pro models but not not with the frames they have been using over the last decade or more. Can fault the braktec brakes i find them very efficient the 2021 GasGas will have an Ohlin shock 2015 to 2019 had Rigers in both more than capable of coping with anything right up to BTC level of sections. maintenance is essential with all suspension set up's if you do your maintenance it will work as intended. and will extend the life of the components. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robson Posted October 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 thanks Agiow,Montesa is nice but more expensive, just got very good deal for 2022 model gasgas 300 txt production 2021 so it will be hard to reject so after KTM take over GasGas is doing good...

UG_ALLSTAR Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 2021 is a good bike. I like mine a lot and I feel like any extra money spent on a "better" model would have been a waste. The 300 motor is strong, very strong. I can see why most riders would prefer a 250 but for trails the 300 does a good job. 2021 is last year of the ohlins suspension for the txt in US. UK still gets the reiger shock. 2023 models have the tech shock. I'm not a fan of the frame change and the use of the aluminum supports on the new ktm/gasgas version. I'm sure from an engineering stand point it's better but the solid tubular frame on the older models just looks sleeker. The pegs are not gusseted as much on the newer ktm models either and they stepped away from the S3 pegs which are great pegs imo. KTM is def doing good for gasgas and their SX/Enduro bikes but the buyout only lowered the quality of the trials bikes. My .2c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMacLeod Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Riding a 21 gg250 - just off a repsol. Very different bikes - the gg being 2 stroke is very quick compared to the montesa. I've owned several of both brands and wouldn't hesitate to buy either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robson Posted October 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) thanks guys, I placed an order for Gas Gas 300 text Racing model 2022 cause they have it on sell with great savings so couldn't resist. Will be brand new in the box so I will have to "uncork" it by myself, I hope it's not so difficult Edited October 27, 2022 by robson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep123 Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 As said both great bikes the gas gas is a lot lighter in feel and physical weight but the Honda a great bike, owning a few gas gas bikes now KTM parts seem to be hard to come by anything older than 2015 I struggle. Monty’s parts seem to be easier to get hold of a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
