The 280 Edition returns for 2003 as a budget alternative to the Gas Gas PRO models. At an astonishing $4849 this machine undercuts every other Trials bike by a huge margin. This is the same basic machine that won the US National Championship as recently as 2001, and continues to be a clubmans favourite. This bike has gone through many years of evolution, and is regarded as a very smooth, easy to ride, balanced machine. The 280 Edition is still lighter than some of its rivals, and could undoubtably hold its own at the highest levels of competition.
