Motorcycle Racer Enduro RC200GY-C2 with a 200 cc engine producing 15 hp. with PTS

Anyone who has ever seen the once famous Tula motorcycle, notable for its non-standard design, will immediately find the Racer Forester familiar. Despite the fact that it is designed to overcome off-road conditions, it has little in common with the enduro class. The Forester 200 racer is a utilitarian bike that combines riding capabilities both on public roads and beyond. A rough silhouette, as if carved with an axe, defiantly thick wheel donuts, the absence of any visual frills... That's right, before us is the Racer Forester RC200LT, a real hard worker from China, unpretentious and hardy.

Racer Forester Specifications

What should a motorcycle for rural areas ? As simple, reliable and durable as possible. This concept formed the basis of the Forester Racer 200, although the execution raises some questions. So, the bike frame is made of thick and durable steel elements , but they are welded together somehow. The plastic is neither thick nor flexible, but it is obvious that the motorcycle will sometimes fall off-road. However, there are still more positive aspects. When you sit on the Racer Forester 200, you immediately feel like you’ve been riding it all your life; it’s really comfortable and well thought out in terms of ergonomics.

The engine evokes only the most positive emotions. Of course, this is just a small-capacity car, but the 4-valve 15-horsepower engine behaves very well. There is traction at the bottom, and it feels like it “deflates” only at the top. In the upper rev range there is a lot of unpleasant vibration, but, alas, this is typical for single-cylinder engines. But the Chinese designers thought that the Forester Racer 200 would be operated in harsh conditions, and therefore they equipped the engine with two oil coolers. The gearbox has 5 speeds and works properly. The motorcycle is capable of reaching speeds of 100-105 km/h .

The suspensions on the Forester Racer 200 are simple, but energy-intensive, and you will have to try to “break through” them on uneven surfaces. Of the settings, however, there is only pretension adjustment on the rear monoshock absorber, but oh well, that’s not a problem. Even under a heavy motorcyclist, the bike does not sag, and a pothole that suddenly appears right ahead is unlikely to become a problem for you. Moreover, it is difficult to call the brakes effective, while the front disc brakes even more or less cope with their job, while the rear drum brakes seem to have only two positions - “on” and “off”. By the way, when driving over rough terrain, the appetite of the Racer Forester engine increases sharply from 2.5-3 liters to 4-4.5 or more, depending on the quality of the fuel and specific operating conditions. However, 12-liter gas tank is still enough, and the Japanese carburetor is not too picky about the quality of gasoline.

What is important is that the bike weighs a little, only 145 kg . Considering that it is intended mainly for off-road driving , this is very important.
But it is not difficult to hold it, and the low center of mass greatly contributes to this. But in open spaces, the Racer Forester is easily blown away by strong side winds, which is worth keeping in mind when going out onto the highways.

Technical characteristics of Racer 250 Enduro

Compared to other Chinese off-road bikes, the Racer Enduro 250 stands out in the best way. Through the efforts of masters from the Middle Kingdom, it embodied everything that a motorcycle of this class needs - a high-torque engine, modest weight, good brakes and energy-intensive suspensions. At the same time, its design is extremely simple: a steel frame, a 4-valve 250 cc liquid-cooled engine , an Italian Dellorto , a 6-speed transmission , fully adjustable suspension... However, first things first.

The Racer 250 Enduro got a very, very good engine - 27.2 hp. and 23 Nm of torque at 9000 and 7000 rpm, respectively. It doesn’t have as much low end as we would like, but already from 3000 rpm the motorcycle rides more than confidently. In addition, thanks to 6-speed gearbox, its dynamics are impressive both on asphalt and on dirt. How many inexpensive Chinese bikes with 6 gearboxes do you know? Same thing. The only thing that raises questions is the lack of protection for the cooling radiator from dirt flying from under the front wheel. But the brakes are not bad , with 2-piston calipers and discs on both wheels. And the Racer Enduro RC250XZR suspensions are downright good! Nothing extraordinary, an inverted telescopic fork at the front and a classic monoshock at the rear, but there are adjustments for both preload and rebound.

There isn't much plastic on the bike, but what there is is quite durable. The quality of the paintwork can be called average, but the plastic itself is really good, quite thick and flexible, clearly designed for the fact that the bike will fall over time. The gas tank volume of the Racer 250 Enduro is 7 liters , which, with a declared average consumption of 3.2 liters, provides a range of more than 200 km . True, off-road the engine's appetite can rapidly increase - it all depends on operating conditions. But the Racer 250 Enduro weighs only 115 kg , lighter than the vast majority of other Chinese off-road “checks”, and this is a serious advantage.

Pros and cons of Racer Forester

Advantages

• Low price . This also applies to the cost of maintaining the Racer Forester 200.
• Oil filter . The design provides a full-fledged replaceable filter instead of the usual mesh, as on many other Chinese bikes.
• Off-road abilities . In skillful hands, a motorcycle can overcome even quite serious off-road conditions.
• Not bad standard tires . There is no desire to change it immediately after buying the bike.
• Winter operation . The Forester Racer can handle it too, and it drives in the snow no less confidently than in the mud.
• Comfortable seat . Wide and moderate soft.

Flaws

• Non-standard tire size . Because of this, choosing tires is not so easy. Some owners of the Racer Forester 200 put on the front wheel a tire originally intended for the rear wheel of some enduro, and on the rear wheel a tire of a suitable size for an ATV. In general, there are possible options here.
• Poor build quality . What immediately catches your eye are crooked welds, gaps between body kit elements and other little things that spoil the impression.
• Fragile plastic . It most likely will not survive a fall, and will either have to be soldered or replaced with a new one.
• Weak paintwork . The paint on the plastic may begin to peel off after just a season. In addition, it is easy to scratch.

Flaws

The rear shock absorber is rather weak - with a passenger the bike lowers very much, riding alone is quite pleasant and comfortable.

According to user reviews, there are several disadvantages.

• Saddle . Due to the low height, the motorcyclist feels most of the bumps - even the large stroke of the rear shock absorber does not help. Slippery - when braking, you constantly slide forward, if you drive with number two, it will constantly push you.
• Light weight. When there is a strong wind, it begins to throw along the road. Maintaining a straight trajectory becomes noticeably more difficult. It’s better not to try to overtake trucks in such weather.

Sometimes they mention tires, but even mechanics say that stock tires from Taiwan need to be changed before purchase (or on the same day).

and dignity

Almost all the advantages of the device come from its features:

• they note good powerful brakes , but at the same time add that for such a light brakes there is no need for others;
• low fuel consumption - they add that it would be strange to see high fuel consumption on a small cubic capacity;
• maneuver along the row spacing - the width is small.

Sometimes the device is called a model for girls, due to its light weight and easy repairs.

Owner reviews

The moped growls and goes anywhere, in any conditions. It will feel a little more lively than an ebrik, but not by much. On asphalt, due to the low-pressure wheels, it starts to roll at about 70 km/h, so you have to be careful. It pulls well from the bottom, which is generally strange for a small-capacity single-barreled gun, but still good. The main disadvantage is that the front wing breaks completely at the first fall. I broke it, bought another, universal one, for 10 bucks on Aliexpress, installed it and forgot it. The turn signals are also garbage, you can unscrew them with your fingers. Otherwise ok. Anton, Leningrad region, Racer Forester '2018.

A real all-terrain vehicle that drives through snow, mud, and sand. When driving for a long time off-road, the engine gets very hot, you need to keep an eye on it. The suspensions are super, you can completely forget about the roads and just choose any direction)) Grigory, Sergiev Posad, Racer Forester 200 '2016.

It feels like the Chinese tried to copy some bike like the Suzuki VanWan, but never decided on the details. As a result, the idea was good, but the execution was disappointing, assembly was done on the knee and, obviously, by eye. Everything seems to be fine, but little things were screwed up almost everywhere, from the reserve switch tap hidden in the bowels of the bike to the voltmeter instead of the fuel gauge, which, by the way, is on exactly the same instrument panel, but on other Chinese models it is present in its rightful place.
