Many of you ask us for information on mini-motorcycles. In this file, we will give you the keys to choose your Dirt Bike. In the jungle of sites and brands, it is very difficult to navigate. Age, size, weight, desires, level,… there are a lot of parameters that come into play when you want to go to the purchasing phase. Through this modest guide, we will try to help you make the right choice!

DIRT BIKE BRANDS

On the national territory, there are 5 major brands of Dirt Bike which are known and recognized by the aficionados of Mini Moto. They are all found elsewhere on the WKX-Racing store. All French, they have been present for more than 10 years on the Pit Bike market. They all have their specificities and have more or less notoriety. The most appreciated for the quality ratio of its motorcycles is undoubtedly the brand Bastos Bike.

The Dirt Bike brand YCF is also an important player in the market. With its colorful machines, it is the favorite brand for teenagers. YCF also has a very rich catalog, ranging from the small 50cc for children to the 190cc competition machine. Although efficient and reliable, the machines of the Norman manufacturer are the most expensive in the sector.

Gunshot offers a limited catalog of machines. Clearly positioned on entry-level machines, it is positioned as an alternative brand. The dirt bike brand CRZ offers good machines that are not too expensive, but we will also regret a sparse range. And finally Apollo Motors, which enjoys a good reputation but offers a fairly limited catalog of machines and relatively high prices.

As said above, the different brands of Dirt Bike are positioning themselves at different prices for machines with equivalent performance. Only the brand's strategy in terms of pricing policy prevails. If you have a good budget and want to show off to friends, the YCF brand is the one for you. To acquire a YCF Dirt Bike, it will generally be necessary to put between 1500 € and 2000 €. On the other hand, if you have a correct but tight budget, we recommend going to the Bastos Bike brand which offers the best quality / price ratio on the market. The machines are well finished and the prices are more than competitive. Count between 700 € and 1400 € for the purchase of a machine from the Bastos range. The other brands like Gunshot, Apollo and CRZ charge prices in the average of the sector and offer good machines. Whether you require dirtbike graphics, then Decallab is actually the most effective place for you.

What also defines the price of a Dirt Bike (whatever the brand) is its displacement (engine power) and its level of finish (the components used). Indeed, all brands have entry-level models and high-end models. An entry-level Dirt Bike 125cc will necessarily cost less than a competition Dirt Bike 150cc. To summarize, the price of a machine depends on the pricing policy of the brand, the cubic capacity of the machine and the level of equipment offered.

PILOT AGE AND PHYSICS

The age of the person who will ride the Dirt Bike is extremely important in the choice of machine. It is obvious that a 6 year old child will not ride with the same machine as a 15 year old teenager or a 30 year old adult.

A child will naturally choose a machine which will respect the characteristics intrinsic to his age. In this case a small size and a low center of gravity. We will therefore go to a small Dirt so that it is the most suitable for the child. For teens and adults, weight and size are important factors in choosing the Mini Moto. A small person will ensure that the seat height indicated in the machine's technical sheet is suitable (not too high). Conversely, a tall person may be more oriented on a model with wheels in 14 and 17 inches to compensate for the smallness of the seat and thus allow to be more comfortably positioned.

LEVEL OF THE PILOT

The overall level of the rider is of fundamental importance in the choice of his Dirt Bike. A "Rookie" who discovers the mini cross-country bike will naturally position himself towards Pit Bike models which facilitate learning. We are thinking in particular of semi-automatic models (gear change without clutch) so as to focus only on driving. A beginner will also position themselves on small and medium displacement models such as dirt bikes with 88cc, 110cc and 125cc engines. These engines are more than enough to start in the Pit Bike.

The greater the mastery of the discipline, the greater the level of performance sought. Experienced pilots will turn to Dirt Bike models with aggressive displacement (140cc, 150cc and 190cc) and manual gearboxes. The constraints applied to the machines by these pilots also require them to choose high-end models, which are more expensive but technically more robust.
