Are these bikes any good?

[nzspokes]

One would think that the price says these are no good.

Wouldnt get one for me, lookin for a mate. My xr is perfect apart from having no brakes.

a douchebag i used to play paintball bought one of these, reckoned he was going to 'race' it. several engine mounts broke, he reckons it needed a rebuild because a cam chain jammed when he fell off in a race then he tried to flog it off on tardme for 800 and no one wanted it.

I can't honestly comment on how good these are, but the most important thing in my mind is... can you get parts?

I work in the industry and I don't think I have seen any parts for these at all, also a LOT of bike shops will not even service Chinese bikes because of the parts issue.

Find out from the seller if they stock all the parts, and if not what are the waiting times and average pricing. The bike might be cheap-ish but you might end up paying out big time in the ling run...

[Tony.OK]

Have a mate that has a "good looking" chinese replica. What a POS!

Last trail ride one of the front brake pads fell out, upon closer inspection the caliper was made for something else then slightly modded to work. As soon as the pad got slightly worn it came out of the slotted end and being held at the pin end it managed to bend around and snap a few spokes

Lucky it wasn't going down a decent hill eh?

After seeing all the other rusty bits and buckled rims (soft soft soft) I'd not even consider a Chinese bike, they are good at copying but have no standards for safety.


Maybe some of the LICENCED ones are ok? But not for me!

I have a Honda. They are hard to get parts for also.

It also makes me feel a little gay....

It is because you have an old Honda, which makes you gay for old men... kinky

If you have issues with parts flick me a PM with what you need and I can look into it for you, but also give me the chasis number No garantee's but worth a shot
