Chinese Dual Sports Comparison
1 Attachment(s)
Has anyone ever compiled a list of the differences between the many Chinese dual sports available? To be more specific the physical & licencing differences between the Brozz, Enforcer, Hawk, Magician, Stallion, Storm & TT250 along with any others bikes I missed. Some things I would like to know are:
Make? Model? Cost? Engine Manufacturer? Engine Size? Counter Balanced? Transmission? USD Forks? Wheel Sizes? Kick-starter? Electric Start? Tire Type (knobby, dual or street)? Brakes? Adjustable Suspension? Weight? Seat Height? Cargo Rack? DOT Approved? EPA Approved? CARB Approved? |

CARB is California's anal retentive one-state extra runaround that manufacturers have to go through in order to sell bikes in the state of California. The TT250 IS California CARB certified. So is SSR's XF 250. The rest of the 'usual suspects' of enduros are not.

Bashan Blaze
Engine Manufacturer? Not sure, but I believe Lifan Counter Balanced? Yes USD Forks? No Wheel Sizes? 18"/21" Kick-starter? Yes Electric Start? Yes Tire Type? Off Road Biased "Dual Sport" Tires DOT Approved? Yes CARB Approved? 49 State Brakes? Front and Rear Drum, regular/rubber brake hoses Weight? Not sure, I believe just over 300lbs Seat Height? ~33 inches Rear Shock? Non-adjustable Mono shock Rear Carrier/Cargo Rack? Yes Hope you don't mind me cribbing the format from you Azhule! |
I can see this thread becoming a Sticky. Great idea! I'll add some Brozz info unless someone beats me to it. Also, if the previous posters don't mind adding some info, I think it's a good idea to add the stock gear sizes, analog/digital gauge cluster, and which carburetor the bike comes factory equipped with, in each listing. These are areas that most people mod and could be a deciding factor when purchasing a bike.
(Initial cost vs the cost of the mods) |
Once all the raw data is here in one place I was planning on putting it all together in a spreadsheet and then saving it and posting it as a jpeg for easy viewing. I agree that once it is completed it should be a sticky. It will make it a lot easier for people to decide on which bike for what purpose. Thanks for all the help so far!
