2010: JAMES DABILL
GAS GAS TXT 300 TWO-STROKE
Introduced in 2002, the Pro model was at its very best. With James Dabill on board, it proved a winning combination. Its major plus point was the diaphragm hydraulic clutch found inside the six-speed two-stroke engine
— again a first for a trials motorcycle. The ‘Pro’ engine was now very well developed, and with the tubular steel frame upgraded over the years, it produced a winning combination.
In 2003, Graham Jarvis had become the first rider to win all five rounds of the championship. In 2010, James Dabill took this a step further, winning all eight rounds to dominate the championship, much to the delight of Gas Gas.
