Getting back into trials, question about 2017 Gas Gas contact 250

Featured Replies

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! 

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

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.
