Need help picking a pit bike
My boy has outgrown his Amazon 125cc pit bike, and his birthday is next month so I’m looking to upgrade.
Ideally in the 150cc range, seat height of about 30”. Aside from Xpro on Amazon, are there other options?

Do you have a Chinabike dealer near you? I like the SSR SR140TR BW (big wheel--17"/14" tires).

Unfortunately no, nothing within about 100 miles. Definitely not something where I can pop on over and check out inventory.
Living rural has very few drawbacks, but this is one of them lol.

I get ya. I live rural-ish, in a small town of 6400, 10 miles from a larger town of 16K, and 30 miles from the outskirts of St Louis.

125s with 17/14 would probably be the next step up. you didn't mention what he has now.

He’s risen the wheels off (literally) an Xpro bolt 125, 14/12 tires if I recall correctly. It has a 27” seat height and it’s just comically small anymore

sounds like he's about ready for a full size bike then. maybe a 200 if you don't want him to have quite as much power?

Honestly I’m not too worried about power, he’s surprisingly responsible with it. It’s the height. Something in the 30-33 inch range I think would fit him well, and after that I have a Royal Enfield for him.
