GASGAS has got behind the classic off-road trials competition, the Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT), with paddock service at the event plus the offer a free ride at the 2022 Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, round three of the Hard Enduro World Championship.

Yep, this is trials and not enduro but hold tight, we’ve got feet in both camps here. The Scottish Six Days Trial is the biggest, most iconic, one of the toughest off-road events on the planet and part of the evolution of enduro as we know it today.

Sure there’s the keep your feet up part but the long distances off-road, the long days, time schedules, parc-ferme and servicing – it’s all familiar to many enduro, ISDE or hard enduro rider alike.

“Free entry to Erzbergrodeo”

Yes, you read that right, the highest placed amateur GASGAS rider at the SSDT will win a free ride at 2022 Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, round three of the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship in June 16-19.

The winner will have a few weeks to get training before GASGAS takes them to the Iron Giant and provides a GASGAS EC enduro bike plus takes care of the entry and accommodation. This is some prize.

The SSDT has taken a break for a couple of years due to the pandemic and last ran in 2019. It feels like a lifetime ago now especially for GASGAS as a brand which has been through many changes since and we understand is due a model upgrade for the TXT trials bike later this year.

It’s good to see the manufacturer is getting behind the SSDT but also putting faith in the sport as a recognised feeder to hard and extreme enduro talent.

No such thing as a free lunch?

GASGAS will be on-site in the Fort William paddock providing technical support and a spares service for all GG riders at the 2022 event, plus rewards and incentives including chance to receive a €500 voucher for all finishers.

Sunday May 1 will also see a pre-event lunch for all TXT riders hosted by the GASGAS team and  they promise “some gifts to all GASGAS competitors to say thanks for choosing GASGAS for the 2022 SSDT.”

Believe it or not, Enduro21 will be dusting off the open-faced helmet and also riding the 2022 SSDT. Wish us luck...
