SSR XF250 Enduro
Contemplating picking up the SSR XF250 right now. Question is what is this a clone of?
I'm curious as to what parts will be able to swap over. Is it the CRF250 parts for things like the seat/plastics/fuel tank/etc? Curious because that would be a nice little carb'ed bike to own that finding parts would be easy. I'm assuming the engine is based on the Honda CG250? |

The engine is based off the CB250. It has the OHC. Not sure what bike the plastics will swap with.
Have you looked at the Orion RXB-250L ? https://www.orionpowersports.com/ori...embled-tested/

Ok, something weird is going on. There seems to be a "new" XF250 shown here;
http://www.ssrmotorsports.com/store/enduro/xf250.php That one does look Honda based. But, look at the cylinder head. There is no way that is a 250. More like a 125. What's up with that?

I too was looking at the XF250 over a year ago but my understanding was that while it’s a super reliable dual sport, parts could be hard to come by. This fellow is a member here and did some great videos and a 15K mile review on this bike:
He said he thought the engine was based on a Suzuki TU250. |

Here’s a video of the same gentleman riding the XF as it reached @ 22K miles earlier this year:

Also I should add that I hit 83 mph on the highway with a tailwind so that's not the norm.

Qingqi who makes these is dead in China
All local sales of all their models are gone burgers Maybe they still export under their sister company brand “Pioneer” |

Take a look at the cylinder head on the new 250, dh, and compare it to yours. Even if it is now Honda based, the engine's head is way too small to be 249cc as they state in the specs. What is a customer really going to get if they order one?

Reason I ask is with the grom clones it was super easy to find replacement parts. Just had to buy grom plastics and what not. Stuff like seat, plastics, etc. And what about this one. Seems like this one is CARB street legal. https://www.orionpowersports.com/apo...embled-tested/ |

The Apollo DB-36 RX250cc DELUXE is another nice bike too. Orion carries the part for it too.

But let's say we you need parts asap. Do you know if these are clones of other bikes? Like say you ripped the seat open and you needed a new one... could you run to Honda and grab one for a CRF250? Or Kawasaki and grab one from a KLX250? Yamaha? Suzuki? Just kind of curious as that's what a lot of people do with the Grom clones. Something breaks... honda dealership. More importantly, this means the aftermarket parts like upgraded skid plates, upgraded shocks, upgraded forks, etc will all swap as well. |
