RYP brought a small number of them in last year. A member on ADV Rider Trials forum bought one. The US version shows up later in this thread. https://advrider.com/f/threads/2019-sherco-125-four-stroke.1344294/

If you remove the liner, you’ll see how thin the padding is for front and rear. There’s no real ability to adjust it. I went through all this, as I bought a Hyper- T Pro on the internet. It was quite a bit less expensive, than a Penta Pro ordered from European site. Arai Europe confirmed the difference in shell shape, when I inquired. I sold the helmet, and went back to an Airoh TTR.

Is it a European Market Penta or a Japanese Market Hyper-T? The head shape is different on both, with the Penta more oval and the Hyper-T more round.

Have you asked a dealer lately? This came from Mark Berg the COO of GGNA, to my local dealer. I'm guessing John Shirt Jr knows the same info, and has told dealers.

A Womens Class rider was DQ'd at a World Round a few years ago for being under the minimum weight. Her bike was weighed at the end of the loop when it was low on fuel. It had gone through the Weigh In, with a full tank of fuel and passed.

KTM does....

Local Gas Gas dealer in the USA, told me 2020 Trials models were just about to start production.

This was on the GG Motos UK FB page.... Happy New Year from myself and all at GAS GAS MOTOS LTD. 2020 is a new chapter for GG now that they have the big brother of KTM to guide them. I am both excited and a little fearful of the change but have faith that the GG brand will gather momentum strongly through 2020. JST JOHN SHIRT and our amazing staff stand firm and assure customers old and new that we are 100% onboard for this new chapter looking ‘forward’ positively ??. I wish everyone a healthy and successful New year ??? Regards John They just bought a small shipment of 250 and 300 TXT's from Gas Gas Germany.

It has quite the bracket to mount it. https://shop-s3.com/gb/montesa-4ride/403-kit-high-fender-position-off-road-montesa-cota-and-montesa-4ride.html

Where I live in the Finger Lakes region of NY, it's as muddy as the worst in the UK. Only rocks we ride are in streams, and the smooth variety. I ride 125 in trials and enduro, so no huge 300 power. I find a quick throttle gives me more control, with smaller inputs to get the response I need.

I use a G2 Ergonomics quick turn throttle on my Husqvarna TE125 enduro bike. It's the most aggressive ring(ramp) available, and requires they machine the Domino throttle assembly so it can fit.

Can you solve the mystery of the red throttle wheel cover?

This wouldn't account for 1/8 turn, but could he mean this? https://www.jitsie.com/en/throttles/46696-throttle-pulley-with-roller.html

Gone through a bunch in the last 4 years..... Started with Gaerne Balance Oiled. They were far too slipper like, with no shank in the sole. Next I tried Alpinestars Tech T . Good stiff sole with steel shank, but soles are hard and slippery walking sections. Lots of padding and double toe cover. Also a little short in height, and seemed to catch the tops more often. I wore the soles out, but still use them for street bike riding. Onto Forma Boulders next. I liked that they were a bit taller, and a reinforced toe box. More flexible, but less padding. Soles are a little better traction wise, but the S3 Hard Rock footpegs, that are stock on my Scorpa Factory are hard on the soles. I'm going to get them resoled, and keep them for spares. I've just got a pair of Stylmartin Impact Pro now. Microfiber, not leather, so stiffer all around. I'll have to see how the toe breaks in, as it is single layer, and doesn't seem to be reinforced. More padding like the Tech T though. I think I'll like them.

There was this video interview at EICMA with Joachim Sauer, by a French Mag, and he mentioned continuing with just signed Casales in TrialGP and Cabestany in TrialE.

I personally have no problem with trials pants, and prefer them to my enduro/MX pants for trials. I wear S3 Pilot pants with Fox Titan hard knee guards for extra protection. I run a head pipe protector on my Scorpa, and have never burned my trials pants. Enduro/MX pants are cut extra loose in the knees so knee braces can be worn without restriction. I wear CTi knee braces riding enduro, and enduro/MX pants work fine, but are too loose and baggy riding trials without the knee braces.

Some don't come until after EIMCA in Milan next month.

I finally got a reply from EM, about the US Market price. They say are large part of the increase, is for the North American compatible charger. Due to certifications, etc; it is more expensive than the standard EU one. The rest is made up of.... transport from France, customs, other import fees, insurance. This works out to about a 20% higher price for US Market.

If Dibs does step down from TrialGP, maybe Martyn will fill the spot for Beta?

Probably Casales to GG, now that his Vertigo deal has ended. I'm guessing that Dibs goes to Vertigo, and not for TrialGP. He's already putting feelers out on IG, about teaching in the off season. He'll ride the SSDT, Scott, ACU Championship, some others and some indoors.

They don't, if the did all trials bikes would be close to $10,000. I buy motorcycle and horse related stuff online from UK. Germany and Italy. As soon as you punch in US$ and destination, VAT is removed from the price.

I've been told by a person who has been involved with Montesa/Honda for years. He says that the door is absolutely one way, when you walk out. I mentioned that Bou is still obviously very fond of Busto, when you see them together. He said Bou has absolutely zero say, no matter how many Championships he wins.... Busto will never be back on a Montesa.

Mike is still your best info source for all your SY questions.

Forma Boulders are a little more like US$235. Wulfsport are usually the least expensive.
