Racer Enduro 150 motocross motorcycle is a good choice for beginners

Motorcycles Racer

For the second decade now, it has been producing motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, bicycles, as well as spare parts for them, and supplying these products to the markets of the Russian Federation and other CIS countries. The concern's plant, located in China, produces more than 100,000 units of goods per year.

Thanks to its own production, the company produces equipment of excellent quality and is able to sell it at affordable prices.

The Racer concern has founded a number of branches in Russia, equipped with warehouses and sales offices. Their geography is very wide:

• Moscow.
• Crimea.
• Altai region.
• Sverdlovsk region.
• Rostov region.

These representative offices deal not only with issues of product sales and warranty service; you can also contact them for advice on repairs and to purchase spare parts.

In addition, the concern's products can be purchased from more than two hundred companies that are official dealers of the Racer brand.

Characteristic features of Racer products:

The company produces several main types of motorcycles:

• Motorcycles - motocross, cargo, sports and road.
• Mopeds.
• Scooters.

As for the design of equipment produced at the enterprise of this brand, it was developed taking into account global trends, based on models from well-known Japanese manufacturers.

The technical characteristics of each type of motorcycle under the Racer brand comply with generally accepted international standards. All components that are installed on it have a fairly long service life and can withstand operation in the most loaded conditions.

Consequently, by purchasing original motorcycle equipment from the Racer concern, a fan of this brand becomes the owner of high-quality products with a modern design at a very reasonable price.

The main competitors of this brand are a number of leading manufacturers of motorcycles from the Middle Kingdom:

• Lifan.
• Loncin.
• Zongshen.
• Jialing.
• Qingqi.

In the market segment where there are no competitors from other countries, due to the excessively high cost or insufficient quality of their products.

As for the portrait of buyers of motorcycles produced at the brand’s enterprise, these are people who are not afraid to experiment, try something new, and also do not want to overpay a lot of money just for a well-known logo.

Smart people say that it is often better for bright memories of the past to remain memories forever. Not only is it not easy to step into the same river twice, but the modern embodiment of former love may simply turn out to be worthless. And here it doesn’t even matter: whether this is a consequence of a special structure of human memory, or whether the years have simply not been kind to the beloved - in any case, the sensations will be bad. That's how Moto Racer 4

, which came out fifteen years after the third part, could have completely broken my heart if I had not been somewhat prepared in advance. Back at the Igromir exhibition, I tried out Moto Racer VR, was horrified and began to pray that the regular version of the game would be better. This is how it turned out, but it’s still hardly possible to call MR4 a good game. I wonder if the employees and management of the Anuman studio understand how uncompetitive the product they have released for sale? What motivated them? The desire to report, get paid and have a good time at the bar? Hope for success due to the lack of any bright hits in the motorcycle genre in recent years? Sincere belief that the game is worthy of attention? One way or another, none of this came to fruition. The world premiere of Moto Racer 4 went almost unnoticed, and in November there were so many hits in other genres that even most journalists ignored the new product. Regular players, judging by social networks and the online mode of MR4, completely forgot about this project shortly after the announcement. We also didn’t see the point in rushing through the review, but since we got down to business, we had to finish it. Besides, I was one of those unfortunate people who was waiting for the new Moto Racer in person.

A good racing game can be both realistic and far from an exact simulation of a real motorcycle - it doesn’t matter. But what should definitely be in place in any case is entertainment, interesting tracks, “honest” difficulty and a feeling of connection between the gamepad, the bike and the surface under its wheels. The physical model in the game may be its own, completely fictitious, but it should still be felt and understandable. And with this, Moto Racer 4

problems: if in the pre-release Moto Racer VR the motorcycles drove like cows on ice, then in the final version of the game it is a set of polygons that are quite obedient to the player, which (according to personal feelings) has neither mass nor grip on the track. But finishing in first or second position, which was not difficult before, and which now does not present any particular difficulties.

There are also problems with entertainment. Commenting on the VR version, I wrote that the graphics are terrible. But also in Moto Racer 4
The picture is also far from modern standards. Motorcycles look like some kind of remnants, and all elements of the environment suffer due to low detail. As for the tracks, they are laid out in quite a variety of locations, but only a few have any interesting features, such as springboards across an abyss or races along the fuselage of an airplane. I understand that road bikes should be raced on autobahns, but this still cannot serve as an excuse for completely sterile, boring, seemingly automatically generated tracks. Probably, the developers considered the fact that there were civilian vehicles on the highway to be sufficient entertainment, but for collisions with them the fines are so weak that such interference ceases to have any significance.

Finally, although the opponents in this game behave quite honestly (that is, they demonstrate approximately the same pace all the time, and do not appear as if out of nowhere, quickly compensating for the backlog that has accumulated for three laps), they are completely indifferent to their competitors. They don’t even try to cross the line in a turn, cut or push, but simply drive as if they were alone on the track, and therefore become completely predictable, which is also not good. The feeling of head-to-head combat suffers greatly when it is, in fact, waged only by the player himself, without any response from the environment.

Interesting features of Moto Racer 4

One can note a rather unique career mode.
The fact is that before the start of the race, the player chooses one of three tasks: one, two or three “stars”. All tasks are of the same type and differ only in the degree of success required: whether you come third or first in the championship, stay on the track for a minute or two. The catch is that if you choose the most difficult option and only fall short of the given bar, then there will be no reward, no reward at all. They said that if you win the championship, if you please, you will overtake everyone, and no one will give you one star for third place, there was no point in aiming too hard. This is an interesting and correct system that would benefit many games, because it makes every decision more difficult, and every success more meaningful. But here too, the Anuman studio made a mistake. When you don't complete a task, your stars are also taken off! And now this is clearly unnecessary. An unsuccessful attempt to take the “gold” will lead to the fact that you will then have to ride along the same route again to regain the “silver”. This is a logical continuation of the chosen concept, but it drags out the passage too much and simply spoils the gamer’s mood for no reason, without offering anything particularly valuable in return. There was also a place in Moto Racer 4 for “pumping up” with customization, but... you already understand, right?
The authors of this game can't do anything right at all! People with artistic talent should work on the appearance of motorcycles and equipment, because even in professional sports a lot of attention and money are paid to these aspects. But here, in the game, they simply opened up access to different colors and are happy with it. And it doesn’t matter that with such a generator, no matter how hard you try, you can’t create anything stylish, right? As for the bike’s improvements, there are few of them, and they are not noticeable only during comparative tests on the same track. This is realistic, probably, but due to the useless physical model and the riders who are recovering from an accident pixel by pixel, no elements of authenticity can improve Moto Racer 4. They made it possible to accelerate in the game due to some tricks, so go to the end and add really cool “upgrades” so that the difference is immediately noticeable. It’s as if the developers hadn’t fully decided what they should achieve at all, and they simply worked carelessly and according to quality standards that were ten years outdated. With all this, one-time races in Moto Racer 4

(especially off-road) may well give the player pleasure. Jumps, trampolines, simple tricks, performed entirely in the bright colors of the scenery - all this invigorates and allows you not to pay attention to the shortcomings. But this effect wears off after half an hour or an hour, and then it becomes unclear why one should play this craft at all. Maybe in multiplayer, but online is empty, and you don’t really want to force someone close to you.

PS If you have a Wii or Wii U, then the weakness of all components of Moto Racer 4

becomes even more obvious. The Super Mario Kart series also has motorcycles and approximately the same degree of “realism”, but the quality of the physical model, detail and entertainment in the game from Nintendo is much higher. There are even more tricks for the motorcycle and settings, including those that affect the behavior of the bike. And this despite the fact that Super Mario Kart is still mostly about four-wheeled cars. Isn't this an indicator?

Moto Racer 4

causes a feeling of deep disappointment.
This is not such a bad game, but it’s painful to look at how almost everything in it is done either incorrectly, or is a blunder, or is based on some completely outdated ideas about the requirements for the genre. Alone, it is only suitable for killing time, but hundreds of other games can easily cope with this task. It’s a little more fun with two people, but it’s better to just forget about the Moto Racer series forever, so as not to get upset again. The review was written based on the digital version of the game for PlayStation 4, provided to the editors by the publisher.

What is it suitable for, where is it used?

The cross-country Enduro 150 can be called a universal type. It will be a great bike for a beginner. It is on it and similar models that it is convenient to learn balance, control and maneuverability on the roads.

The motorcycle is capable of performing the functions of a motocross unit. Therefore, it is also preferred by beginners and experienced motocross participants. On Enduro it is easy to overcome off-road tracks, as well as perform various tricks when jumping on springboards. Unlike true cross-country motorcycles, this Enduro is designed to overcome not closed tracks, but long stretches of road with a complete absence of roads.

The Racer Enduro 150 handles easily on paved trails. It is convenient to use as a vehicle for travel; moreover, its dimensions allow you to load an additional 50 kg (excluding the weight of the motorcyclist), and low fuel consumption will make the trip economical.

Racer Enduro 150 is more suitable for short people. Tall motorcyclists will find it uncomfortable to ride it over long distances.

RACER RANGER RC250GY8A Tourenduro for every day

This year is my 45th birthday. I decided to give myself a gift and buy a new motorcycle. Moreover, I’ve been wanting a light endurik for a long time, but here’s a reason. I started studying the current motorcycle market. In Abakan there are dealers BSE, KAYO, BAJAJ, and you can buy a new Motoland and Avantis, and there is also an official dealer and the entire model range of the Russian manufacturer RACER is presented. Having driven old Japanese cars and seen enough of new Chinese ones, as well as taking into account previous experience of buying new equipment, the choice fell on neither one nor the other. I determined the following selection criteria for myself:

1. I need a new motorcycle. In connection with this, the old Japanese immediately disappeared, and I didn’t like them, to be honest. The ones I rode are quite rotten for 250cc, they shake like an old IZHAK, they hold up sand and dust very poorly - for endurics, small tanks and gluttony, there is no way to properly secure luggage, an extremely uncomfortable seat. If we consider them as sports equipment, then this format is not interesting to me at all, and somehow I didn’t feel the sport. If we consider them as a motorcycle for weekend rides, then only near the house. Because even over a distance of 100 km they need to be transported in a car trailer and ridden there. Otherwise, there won’t be enough gas to get there and back and your ass will fall off while you get there and back. Not motorcycles, but some kind of misunderstanding, in my opinion. The residual life of these motorcycles is also completely unknown, and the fact that they still break down has long been a well-known fact and it will not be possible to make them quickly and efficiently. Their relatively high liquidity on the Russian secondary market has nothing to do with the quality of the product or its consumer properties and is indifferent to me since I buy money for myself and not for one day. The only use I can think of for them is to herd livestock. Perfect fit. Light weight, excellent maneuverability, short hauls over close distances, reliability is secondary. I will not mention specific models and years of manufacture. Those who are in the subject will understand.

New Chinese. I've watched a lot of them. They are all different and executed differently. They are made by different factories and there are no complaints about the quality of workmanship upon external inspection. Good new spenders. In the past few years, there have been a lot of them and the boys are chasing them around without servicing them. I'm amazed that they still drive, but they drive just as fast and the plastic is all intact. Impressive. The weakest, according to my observations, are AVANTIS. The most durable are the BSE, but they don’t have a touring bike. I didn’t see any endurics from Bajaj. Although the motos are very well assembled and the model range is good. The price is good. There are interesting options from Motoland. They are well assembled and have lightweight touring bikes with an air-cooled engine.

Russian manufacturer RACER. It produces a large range of motorcycles and is located in the city of Barnaul, Altai Territory. It has a number of representative offices in Russian cities and an extensive dealer network. On the market for a long time. In Abakan it has a dealer and service center - the Cascade store. The line includes a tourenduro.

2. I need a light motorcycle with small capacity. Up to 400 cc/cm. With a decent volume of gas tank, a normal seat, adjustable suspension, a liquid-cooled engine, a trunk, with good reputational reviews and hassle-free access to spare parts and service. Essentially, I need a new base for specific tasks with good reviews.

3. The motorcycle will mainly be used in the Altai-Sayan region and Mongolia. This includes Khakassia, Tuva, Kemerovo region, the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Altai and Mongolia. Small long-distance trips up to 5000 km. Rare long hauls in the direction of Baikal and the Urals are possible.

Having collected all the requirements and not being a fan of any of the brands, not feeling an emotional attachment to any of the manufacturers and relying only on the technical characteristics and my experience, I began to study the issue in detail. I went to the RACER salon and more than once. From observations, motorcycles are dismantled very quickly. The pickers don't have time to collect them. I talked to the guys. We haven’t heard or encountered anything about defects or any serious problems with the equipment. I went to their service and spare parts store. I talked to spare parts buyers. They buy mostly all sorts of little things, they have owned the equipment for a long time, they use it harshly and wear it out. Nobody complained. It should be noted that in the villages of Khakassia the entire RACER model range of the lower price segment is presented. These motorcycles travel across the steppes all year round and live in the open air. For years.

One day I met a guy in a salon. He came for another RACER motorcycle. It turns out he already has 5 of them. The boys are racing. He said that after 2 years of operation there is wear and tear and the bearings in the hubs need to be changed. And the studs in the rear sprocket need to be converted to bolts. And that’s it?!... Yes... I asked what happened to the frames? There are persistent rumors circulating online that they are falling apart. He assured me that this was a lie, bought some kind of endurik without a title and left. I became interested in the RACER RANGER RC250GY8A model. This model has all the characteristics I need and good affordable service in the main region of operation. I started choosing a motorcycle in February. Then it cost 170,670 rubles, at the beginning of March it began to cost 186,000, and in March 192,000 rubles. I don't know the price today.

I carefully studied Motoland. I was interested in the Dakar model. Not impressed. As a result, my choice was formed on the RACER RANGER RC250GY8A model. I went to the salon BSE, KAYO, BAJAJ - I was finally convinced of the correctness of my choice.

So. What do we have in the bottom line? A motorcycle with an NSR 300 engine (according to the documents, it’s a zonsheng, but it’s not) liquid-cooled with a volume of 283 cm/cc, 4 valves per cylinder, 26 hp. https://www.yinxiangmotor.com/product/engine/2016-10-30/345.html Adjustable inverted fork. Progressive rear suspension, monoshock absorber, adjustable. Tank 14 liters. Electric and kickstarter. Trunk. Wide double seat. Gel battery. Spoke wheels 21 front and 18 rear. Disc brakes, engine protection, variable-section steering wheel, USB socket, etc. Very rich basic equipment and light weight. Fair price. Mot has everything you need to immediately sit down and go on a trip, but it’s not ideal. There are some design features that can be quickly adapted to specific tasks based on experience and operating conditions.

I didn’t want to buy an assembled motorcycle. I wanted to assemble and prepare it myself. In Abakan they were sold only assembled and much more expensive than in the country as a whole. In other cities you could buy it for 50,000 cheaper and even in installments. I started looking for where to buy. I found a suitable option on Droma in Rubtsovsk, Altai Territory. Store https://elektron-market.ru/ I called the seller, discussed the details and paid for the purchase. The motorcycle arrived by a transport company in a factory frame.

I brought it in a trailer. He fit in there perfectly. Everything was packaged well. Although abrasions still occur.

There are also traces of the muffler touching the caliper and the fastening of the front facing is slightly bent. I straightened it out in half a minute.

I came across negative reviews on the Internet about the quality of the welds. This didn’t scare me at all, since the frame is made of ordinary normal steel pipes, unlike the frames of the same BSE, and with a semi-automatic machine I was ready to weld it and repaint it, if necessary. This is one of the reasons why I wanted to buy a disassembled motor and assemble it myself, so that along the way I could identify and completely eliminate factory flaws. I have no complaints about the quality of the frame seams. Yes, BSE are welded more carefully, but so what? How does this affect strength? My 1990 Ural car has worse seams than those on the Racer, even worse. And no BSE has ever dreamed of what kind of loads the Ural frame survived without consequences, and I can weld it, if anything. Unlike the frame of the same BSE.

Upon a quick inspection, one of the seat mounting screws also turned out to be undertightened.

This was the only loose fastener on the motorcycle. Everything else was stretched according to dynamic force.

The motorcycle comes with a complete set of necessary equipment. Electrolyte, gel battery, fasteners for cladding, antifreeze, tools.

Based on my experience working with trucks and agricultural machines, I began upgrading the motorcycle for long and trouble-free operation in any conditions. Namely, with the aim of significantly increasing the resource of heavily loaded nodes and reducing their service interval. This is much more important than screwing on foglights, additional fans, temperature sensors and other stupid childish tuning that YouTube is filled with like a carbon copy. I practically don’t read specialized Internet resources. The only technically competent online motorcycle resource that I have come across is Opposite Ru. Everyone else is just showing off their stuff and sharing their guesses. That is why I am writing this article here. Somehow I got distracted...

So that's what I changed. I bought bearings, seals, lubricants and other things.

First of all, I replaced the ball bearings in the steering column with Japanese tapered ones, cut threads in the steering column and installed grease fittings. I lubricated the bearings with moisture-resistant Sumiko grease (feels like regular LITOL) and crushed the full steering column with lithol. The original ball bearings were perfectly lubricated from the factory and reviews of their reliability are only positive. It was not necessary to change them, but the service life of conical ones is much higher and the unit had to be disassembled in any case, due to the insertion of the grease fittings, so I immediately replaced the bearings.

I figured out the progression. She was oiled. I replaced the bushings with piston pins. The hardest part was drilling holes in the pins for lubrication. I scoured the entire internet looking for how to do this. I didn't find the answer. I rummaged through all the stores looking for a suitable drill. Anyway, I finally managed to drill the piston pins. No heating and releasing. The Tavria finger is much stronger than the Honda finger, if anything. In progression, Japanese oil seals were installed, grease fittings were cut in, boots were manufactured and installed, carbide fastening bolts with lubricant supply channels were manufactured and installed. The progression is filled with moisture-resistant lubricant under pressure and is completely closed. The ingress of dust is almost completely excluded, and the ingress of water is reduced to a minimum. The progressive bearings were left as original ones. There are no complaints about them. It took a very long time to finalize the progression.

I redid the rear sprocket mount. In the silent blocks I cut an M10 thread step 1, made thrust washers and screwed the star onto the cardan bolts. Such bolts are used in cardan transmissions of MTZ 82, UAZ, etc. They stand up like family. The motorcycle will never have enough strength to rip them off.

The bearings in the hubs were replaced with SKF ones. The original Chinese bearings were well lubricated from the factory and had no play. The original seals are also without any complaints, but I installed some Polish ones. They are softer. All oil seals, including progression oil seals, with the exception of the fork oil seals, are positioned incorrectly - with the spring inward. In essence, they protect the dirty external environment from the clean internal environment of the hub. I turned the wheel bearings, nickel plated them and installed boots. I lubricated the bearing boots with moisture-resistant lubricant. I didn’t turn the hub seals over with the spring outward, although I should have. But there are reasons for this. I have a small technical experiment going on there about this.

MOVIL blew into the pendulum. A pendulum is a unit that is often under water and water gets inside it and does not dry out well. It may one day break from rust and stress. Therefore, it is better to protect it in advance. The pendulum axis and the entire cavity are filled with LITOL. I bought, modified and installed a chain catcher. For some reason they are not installed from the factory. I took the simplest one for 600 rubles. I covered it with galvanized steel, machined spacer bushings from the handle of a telescopic magnet, welded the mount to the pendulum and installed the trap. A homemade clamp helped me with this. The clamps turned out to be incredibly comfortable. You can read how to make them here

It seems that I haven’t forgotten anything and have listed all the most significant improvements. As a result of the assembly, difficulties arose. There was a defect in the carburetor. The pin that prevents the flap from turning turned out to be either very short or fell through and the flap turned and jammed. The rubber sealing ring under screw xx was torn and was in the channel. The carburetor was replaced by the seller under warranty. It took a couple of weeks for the shipment.

In addition, after starting the new motorcycle, the engine did not develop speed. Since the motorcycle is under warranty, I could not interfere deeply with the design and disassemble the engine. With the seller's permission, I checked the valves - everything was fine. The carburetor was replaced. The ignition remained. We agreed with Cascade that they would fix the problem and my seller would pay for it. The wires from the Hall sensor were mixed up at the factory. Blue went to green and vice versa. They said this is a common occurrence. Most likely, the assembly worker on one of the shifts is colorblind. Once such a malfunction pops up periodically. The wires were installed as expected and everything worked. The price of the issue with diagnostics is 1500 rubles. The seller paid for everything. I can recommend the seller. He didn’t ignore my problems and solved them, gave me a good discount, was responsive and responsible. I lost more time waiting. But what can you do? The motor is new, guaranteed... After all the preparatory work, the long, tedious break-in period began. I complied with it completely. No more than 35 km/h, then no more than 45 km/h, then no more than 55 km/h, everything is written in the instructions for the motor, and after 1600 km of run I turned the throttle handle to full. The spendthrift is out. The traction is excellent. Comparable to the Urals, but better. After running in, not a single weld seam burst, not a single bolt was tightened, not a single bearing was loose, all lubrication points remained under pressure and were practically not pressed, the valve clearances did not change. We can say that before the break-in, the feeler gauges passed with great tension, and after the break-in, it was a little easier. Perhaps the service checked the gaps and loosened them slightly, but this is not certain. I pressed it back a little, as it was before the break-in. During and after the break-in, I upgraded and installed a few more things on the motorcycle. But I will describe its further transformations in a topic that I will create in the section https://oppozit.ru/forum/%D1%81%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B9-%D1%81%D1%82 %D0%B8%D0%... There is some strangeness in the behavior of the motorcycle - at speeds from 60 to 90 km/h, at slightly above average speed, it periodically twitches. It’s as if there is water in gasoline, but there are no pops, or there is not enough fuel, but it reacts instantly to the throttle and at speeds above 90 it delivers consistently smoothly and no matter how much, or as if there was a short-term loss of spark. I don't know what it is yet. I haven't figured it out yet. After 90 it goes great and that’s the main thing)) Now the mooch makes me happy. I am completely satisfied with its characteristics and my choice. I use it as daily transport and travel around the area a little. Why was it bought? I use synthetic oil, as usual, LUKOIL LUX.

Pros and cons of Patron Sport 150

Advantages

• Affordable price . The bike is cheap, the price of spare parts and consumables is also not bad.
• Good brakes . Considering the lack of explosive dynamics and the low weight of the motorcycle, they are really enough to feel confident behind the wheel.
• Good handling . The Cartridge Sport 150 is capable of turning around in a two-meter space, and it’s easy to dart between cars in city traffic. It can easily outpace even liter sportbikes in traffic jams thanks to its nimbleness and compactness.
• Modest fuel consumption , not exceeding 2.5-3 liters per 100 km . In addition, the motorcycle seems to be able to run on any gasoline at all - its simple but reliable carburetor will digest whatever you pour into the gas tank.
• Efficient headlight . It shines much better than one would expect from a budget Chinese small-capacity camera.

Flaws

• Sluggish acceleration dynamics . Alas, this cannot be taken away - the bike accelerates extremely slowly.
• Inconvenient standard mirrors . Judging by the reviews, most Patron Sport 150 owners see them mainly as their own shoulders. Luckily, you can buy new ones anywhere.
• A large number of annoying parasitic vibrations . At high speeds, you generally get the impression that the entire Patron Sport 150 vibrates.
• Low quality components . While the main components of the motorcycle do not cause any complaints, there are many annoying little things, such as low-quality small parts. Not critical, of course, but still.

Advantages and disadvantages of a motorcycle

Before purchasing the Racer Enduro 150, you should weigh the pros and cons. The following facts speak in favor of the purchase:

• attractive price of 78,700 rubles;
• low cost and simple maintenance;
• budget cost of parts;
• good build quality;
• maneuverability and good handling on the road with any surface.

This model of cross-country motorcycle does not have many disadvantages, but they do exist:

• single-seat seating (although this is typical and convenient for enduro);
• Compared to models in a higher price category, the quality of the Enduro 150 is clearly “lame”.

The first batch of these enduros turned out to be of completely poor quality. The company was experiencing financial difficulties, and therefore there were total savings on parts. The only thing that did not cause negativity was the powerful engine, which was copied from the Honda SL-230 motorcycle. Subsequently, all the shortcomings were eliminated by the manufacturer, but it was not possible to regain the trust of customers.

Watch the review and test drive of the Racer Enduro 150 motorcycle in this video:

Reviews from Patron Sport 150 owners

Everything would be fine if this, so to speak, motorcycle was moving at all. The dynamics are like that of a turtle, the engine is screaming, the tachometer is spinning, and the acceleration is slow, slow. The vibrations are really bad, they really bother you, and you have to turn the motor in order for it to move at least somehow, and when you turn it, vibrations appear. The seats feel like a piece of plastic covered with young dermantine leather. In general, one complete disappointment. Artyom, Saratov, Patron Sport 150 '2016.

I skated the season, sold it, and drew conclusions. The moped is worth the money, but it’s better to save up and get something better. Everything is ok in general, but minor breakdowns once a week do not add to the joy of owning this miracle of the Chinese motorcycle industry. Yuri, Tyumen, Patron Sport 150 '2018.

For the money, it’s a very, very worthy motorcycle, with wind protection, a large tank and durable suspensions. Immediately after purchase, it is highly advisable to check everything that can be checked; there is no trust in the Chinese assembly, but the moped is really problem-free. Traffic police officers, by the way, usually think that this is a moped, and therefore they almost never slow down, generally zero attention. The only downsides are the original tires and the nasty exhaust sound, especially when you give it gas, but in all other respects it’s a very good bike. Yaroslav, Novorossiysk, Patron Sport 150 '2017.
