Ran across one of these today out in the providence ... Might be a Filipino brand crossed with China of course ... Anyway, its a 250cc bike. Four yrs ago when I arrived here, I hardly ever saw any dirt \ DS bike over 150cc except for the Honda XR 200cc bike ... Now Honda was stepped up with some 250cc DS bike here and this MCX bike ..Its gonna be a 250cc world here some day Looks like a familiar frame with the coloring sort of KTMish ... Not sure on that engine with the funky kick-starter ... Maybe next time, I'll ride it
The Chinese are getting better but still crap IMHO. Funny things like chome, big stamped steel parts (heavy). Huge heavy dual piston rear brake calipers, The motor has been in everything and make little power and weighs a lot. Should make a good play bike but the will be very heavy, slow and under powered compared to a real modern bike. They kinda have the look down now, they need to work on the components.
So you have seen that engine before? Just a Chinese enterprise? Price will drive a bike like this one here but it has gotta last and not break easily on the mountain roads when ridden reasonably ... Any performance stuff is secondary to these other things... If that bike costs ~100,000P, it might sell as the 250 honda cfl or what ever their 250 is, is gonna be lots more than that ... The last prices I saw on the 200XRs was 140,000P .... So their new 250 has gotta be pushing 200,000P ...
This is a better example of Filipino trail riding than I show in my vids ... If that bike can't do this for next ~decade ... Not sure it can replace these 2t bikes ... View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EEnPrxwcpg
