Dirt bike pricing question.

Hap · 09-22-2022, 08:45 AM

Do Chinese dirt bikes generally go down in price in the fall? I was just wondering because they seem to be inching up since Labor Day. I was thinking about getting a couple of bikes for me and my grandson. And was wondering if it would be worth it to wait until cold weather. Thanks.

Not usually. Maybe around Christmas some will have sales.

Yeah. That makes sense. I’ve been eyeing the new Templar X with the 6 speed on Powersportsmax since they first listed it. And it’s went up twice since then. I’m new to China bikes and wasn’t sure if their market was seasonal or mainly driven by supply and demand. Thank you JerryHawk for the quick response!

.....and most of the Christmas sales I've seen are preceded by price hikes in October to offset the "sale".

prices are going up due to shipping costs, etc. they don't generally have seasonal changes like the mainstream names do. dealers often cut prices at end of season to make room for new model year arrivals. not generally seen by chinese models.
