Vader 125 and Condor 150 Tires question

I’m looking at both of these bikes, I recently titled my Templar and found out the hard way that only one tire was DOT approved. I was told the condor doesn’t come with DOT tires.

Does anyone know if the tires in either bike coke with DOT tires?

Thank you!

Turns out they do come with DOT tires if anyone is curious. I ordered the bike so I’ll confirm once it arrives.

I don't know if it comes with dot tires, but I can tell you they perform incredibly bad in the rain, and have no psi rating written on them. Which probably means they're not DOT approved.

Either way, the Vader 125 has smaller tires than the condor or Vader 150

I’m pretty sure the Vader 125 and the Condor 150 both have the exact same tire sizes per the technical specs on both models. That being said my Templar X stock tires were complete garbage. I’m just trying to lessen the initial hurdles to get it vin verified before summer is over as my states about a two month wait.

From my understanding, the Vader 125 is modeled after the Grom, while the Vader 150 is a slightly larger version.
When I look at the Grom, and some pictures of the Vader 125, the wheels look like toy wheels compared to my Vader 150 wheels.
Maybe the rims are the same diameter, I don't know, but the tire circumference seems a lot smaller on the Vader 125s than on my bike.

Those are all good points. Your probably right I haven’t seen the condor in person I’m just going off of online technical specs which aren’t always accurate.

Also to anyone wondering my Vader 125 has DOT tires. Powersportsmax told me the Condors do not have DOT tires from factory. Which means it’s an additional cost to get it registered.
