Suggestion from the experienced ones.

Hi guys, i register to the forum because i will purchase a new bike for off roading. So far i have 2 bikes in mind the apollo agb 36 250 and the hawk 250.. so far looks like the apollo is faster claim 71ish mph but the hawk looks nicer and have lights, i dont care about being street legal i already have a zuma 125 2016 for the street but I live an a rural area with lots of hills and trails and my yamaha ttr 125 need new motor new wheels and new everything (not my fault i buy it cheap to usit till die) and it die, i will not jump just trail riding and some moderate hill climbing, the hawk looks more like enduro it is a big pro to have lights because sometimes night came and i still off roading so its good to return home but not a most have i prefer better handling over lights, i am bit afraid of enduro chinese bikes because 10 years ago i putchase the pantera 125 from pepboys and the first bump i went into the front mask flew away with the headlight and need to reweld the mounts, 4 month later the pantera blew the engine. I am 5'10" 220p so im heavy but i dont want a bigfoot bike my ttr 125 have a good size, so how the apollo 250 can be compared to a ttr 125 in a matter of size? Is there any other bike i should look for ?

Thanks guys and sorry for my bad english.

for what you are wanting...
buy a used real enduro bike...

but anyway...
don't get to hung up on top speed
the running gear /suspension will have you on the
ground long before 71mph is reached
on the dirt..
the hawk has a very short wheel base so it's
not going to be the most stable bike at any sort
of speed over bumps & cupled with it's suspension..
It's still a good bike "it would seem" just don't ride
it outside it's limits...

I have the Apollo 250 it compares with a TTR 230 in size and power for the most part.
