Hi, I'm after advice on which trials bike to get for my son. He is 10 years old (fairly tall for his age) and new to bikes. Would a Gas Gas TXT 80 be suitable?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi there.

Gas Gas pretty good. You could also consider the Beta Rev 80. A little lighter, softer suspension and brilliant engine.

Plenty of both available on the second hand market.

Good luck.

i would sugest a txt 80, ive had one for my sone for the last four years and it hasn't missed a beat. its very reliable and the full size wheels make those bumps easier to go over for the kids. im in the process of selling my sons now as ive just moved him up onto a 125 gas gas.

I would suggest a sherco 80 they are ace.I have had one and they ride well and look good.Every thing works brill on it and it is easy to maintain.the sherco 80 also won the british c class champion ship. sherco use the best quality components in the construction of there bikes so this reflects in the cost . I think it is well worth the difference.

good luck
