World Trial Champions again

| 1 Comment

FOTO-POST-IVAN-GG-TRIAL-julio-2018We have  become World Trial Champions at GasGas once again. All fans in any country, have known the brand as an absolute reference in the world of competition, a leadership kept thanks to the continuous work of technical improvements that later are transferred to our series bikes.

On this occasion, besides being year after year at the top of the world podiums with gasoline motorcycles, the renewal of this world title obtained last weekend has a special significance. The combination of Torrot and Gasgas made us pioneers in the introduction of electric bikes in the world of competition. In this way, last year our sports and development manager of Trial Marc Colomé (4 times world champion, 18 victories and 87 podiums), was the first electric Trial World Champion, taking our first electric model to the top in this sport. Last weekend, we made it again. In this case it has been Loris Gubian, supported by Colomer, who has achieved  this victory and against the giant Yamaha, in an exciting combat of human technique and  engineering.

These two consecutive victories worldwide are a symbol of our mission to make the world a more sustainable place. In a field, apparently so distant from sustainable mobility, such as off-road and gasoline competition, we were the first to introduce electric motors. Clean energy applied to very traditional sectors, although very technologically dynamic. And maybe that is the entrance that we have seen from Torrot. Technology. Maintaining the same passion and adrenaline as always, we take a technological leap that is integrated into the environment in a way which is aligned with our purpose, and that also provides us with field information to apply to our products.

Congratulations to Gubian, Colomer and all our competition team, engineers, supporters. Together with the title of Absolute Champions of the World, we also renew our commitment to continue working to maintain ourselves as the leaders of sustainability.
