Templar X 250

This bike seems to be a step up from the Titan, and I am sure it will be a quality bargain dirt bike that will serve you well (of course, taking the 'Chinese' into account as one has to do with most any sub-$2k Chinese bike).

I am guessing that with Powersportmax's connections, this bike is made by the same OEM as the Orion bikes (hence it looks like the RXB) but Powersportsmax did not spec it out with all the same bits as the Orion.

I’m willing to bet you nailed it. Just make sure the bet is small…….

I have been doing some research about to pull the trigger on my purchase. I have confirmed the hubs on the X are the same as Crf250r as well as the front and rear rotors and rear sprocket.

I have a few things I've found out to share and a few I'm still working on.

Zuumav front rotors with pickup magnets in 240 and 270mm can be readily had on AliExpress that once I purchase I will be buying, along with a set of 17" Supermoto wheels and tires as well as the larger front rotors (may have to make an adapter) if anyone has the caliper bolt mounting distance center to center it would help, So I can see if any ready-made options will work.

Also does the 6speed balanced 172Fmm have a roller cam? Browsing some 150/230F/L forums I found they are using 172fmm cams as they give slight performance over the Honda cam and the china made roller cam made for the 230 was measured at having even more lift then the 172Fmm and includes the upgraded roller followers.

I have been wanting to sumo mine as well. Just don't even know where to start with the correct wheels and stuff. Also, the wheels and tires seem to be about half the price of the bike. I can get you that caliper bolt spacing when I get home from work tonight

Can find wheels and tires for around 750 on the web. But regearing and adding larger brakes while not needed would make it better. Any idea on the bolt spacing, mine is slated for delivery tomorrow if not.

Also seen the Russians have a 77mm big bore kit out for the 172Fmm, brings the bike to 286cc trying to find a source outside of Iron curtain 2.0 can find the 74mm kit on AliExpress all day long (268cc?)

Sure will be fun to tinker with this bike I had a Wr250r that I sold and miss, then built a street legal pit bike Supermoto but the thing scares me being so small and not very comfortable outside of the neighborhood (yx140.w/z40 on 12" wheels) so I figure I'd buy the templar x and build it out into a sumo but still be able to swap to dirt tires for the occasional trail riding outing.

Thinking more seriously about this, but the website for this particular bike doesn't specify anything about shipping.
What did Powersportsmax charge you for shipping?
Did you pay 1700 or 1632 (plus shipping)?

On the XPro site, this sucker is listed at 2059. If you have an interest in this ride, I'd jump soon. Gut feeling says it's gonna go up quick......

Convinced yet ExMXer? Powersportsmax is still offering this bike for $2050 delivered with liftgate service. I love the short shifter, better brakes, 21"/18" wheels, full lighting, knobbies, low gearing for offroad, 250cc 19hp Zhongshen engine, 520 chain, inverted forks, graphics, gear position indicator, orange color(!)... etc.

I am so close! Are you going to do it??

If I didn’t have my sights set on a dr650 for my next bike I would buy another one of these, like, yesterday lol

It is in the fine print--it is $299 for shipping so about $2K exactly shipped to your home.

Hello,
You've mentioned the spec sheet for this templar 250. Can you share that please? I'm trying to replace both axels, nuts, and bearings

Thanks yo! I wasn't entirely done applying the decals so here's a couple more shots. Kalair GFX Graphics Kit for Suzuki RMZ 250 (2007-2009) Icon Series Magenta. I went for the cheapest option: 9mm thickness.
