A true manual dirt bike for an older, more experienced rider ready to run a clutch lever and shift their own gears.
The X3 steps up to a 125cc 4-stroke, air cooled engine making 8.3 hp, with a full manual 4-speed transmission and clutch lever, plus electric and kick start for reliable starting either way. Larger 17 inch front and 14 inch rear wheels, longer suspension travel, and disc brakes front and rear give it more capability than the semi automatic X2, with a 47 mph top speed limited by an adjustable speed limiter and 60 miles of cruising range per tank. Built for off-road riding, not for public roads.
Why this model
- Full manual 4-speed transmission with a clutch lever suits a rider ready to learn real gear shifting.
- 17 inch front and 14 inch rear wheels roll over rough terrain better than the smaller wheels on the X2.
- Adjustable speed limiter caps the 47 mph top speed, useful while a rider is still building experience.
- Electric start with a kick start backup means it will start even with a low battery.
- 60 mile cruising range per tank keeps riding time up between refuels.

Fit, power and setup
Some assembly is required out of the box, and it ships in one box weighing 172 lbs, so expect a freight style curbside delivery with a scheduling call from the carrier. It uses a 4.5 liter fuel tank and SAE 10W/40 engine oil, with seasonal grades noted by MotoTec. This bike is built for dirt, grass, and off road trails, wet or dry, not pavement.
Good to know
- Recommended for riders 16 and up, with a 190 pound weight limit, reflecting its full manual controls.
- A clutch lever and manual shifting mean this suits a rider who already has some dirt bike experience.
- Off road use only. Not street legal and cannot be registered for road use.
- Wear a helmet and protective gear. Riders under 18 need adult supervision.
MotoTec states this bike is EPA approved but it does not meet California emissions standards, so it is for competition or off road use only and cannot be registered for street or OHRV use or with the California DMV. Check your state and local regulations before you buy. It ships by freight due to its weight, with curbside delivery and a scheduling call from the carrier, and it carries 60 days of parts replacement coverage from MotoTec.
