The largest and most powerful dirt bike in the MotoTec X series, built for an experienced 16 and up rider who wants real displacement and the highest top speed in the lineup.
The X5 runs a 250cc 4-stroke, air cooled engine making 16 hp through a 5-speed manual wet multi-plate transmission with a clutch lever, plus electric and kick start. It carries the biggest wheels in the X series, a 21 inch front and 18 inch rear, with an inverted hydraulic adjustable front fork and dual piston front disc brakes, reaching a 62 mph top speed limited by an adjustable speed limiter with 60 miles of cruising range per tank. Built for off-road riding, not for public roads.
