I would definitely recommend a midsize mate. You can always get an Atomik off eBay for a good price!

Have a look at the Atomik Reign, Atomik Nitrous Midsize, DHZ DPRO 140 (although its 1200)

Is their a big power diff between a pit pro 140 an a hdz 140 ??

 

[Carlts]

^^^^ Generally the same engine mate, what your looking at is different components, heres a quick rundown:

Engines:

125cc (Lifan, yx, GPX)

Air cooled engine, good reliability, cheap to purchase and offer consistent power though lack the punch of larger engines. The GPX race engine provides more punch however and is oil cooled, other benefits include the easily accessible oil filter, race cam, etc.

Lifan 125cc - Lifan 125cc TYPE R HEAD RACING ENGINE, 1P54FMI
GPX 125cc - New 2012 GPX 125CC RACE ENGINE​

140cc (Lifan, yx, zongshen)

Bit punchier then the 125's, have the inclusion of an oil cooler, I have had a good run with the YX's but not so much with the Lifan 140's

Zongshen 140cc - ZON0cGSHEN 140cc Engine
Lifan 140cc - Lifan 140cc OIL COOLED ENGINE, 1P55FMJ​

15c (Lifan, yx)

Powerful engines but not quite as powerful as the 160's which use a different style of head. The 150's are good but you are more worth getting a 160 as they are very similarly priced. The Daytona is in a league of its own, this is however reflected by its price. Its high power, excellent reliability and quality are second to no Chinese engine listed. All Oil cooled

YX 150cc E-start - New YX150cc E-Start Engine, Support Lighting & Battery Charging, Suits All Pitbikes, Thumpsters, Sachs MadAss, Postie Bikes
Daytona 150cc - Daytona T-Rex 150, New Close Ratio Model​

160cc (yx, GPX)

Offer good power and plenty of HP great for the heavier rider, oil cooled. They are quite reliable and spare parts as with all these engines are easily available.

GPX z160ho - New 2012 PitsterPro z160 HO Engine
​

Bike Sizes:

1. CRF50 style (A-style Swingarm)

Smallest of the pit bikes, good for having a hoot on small BMX sized tracks, skate parks that sort of thing. Not so good for big riders looking at trails and large paddocks/ mx tracks.

Ciniworx CXF070 - CINIWORX CX070S

Pitsterpro XJR SS 50cc - PitsterPRO XJR SS 50cc Stocker, E-Start, 4 Speed Semi-Auto​

2. CRF50 Mono Swingarm

The ergo's are improved for bigger riders due to the swingarm increased length. Still pretty small for riding conditions as posted above. Easily the most common pit bike style, offering cheap part availability. Peg to seat height however can be very uncomfortable especially for bigger riders

3. KLX110 Midsize bike

Larger frame size, fork length, swingarm length provides a larger seating position making it comfier to ride, less twitchy to handle. Great bike for the midsize rider.

5. TTR110 Linkage bike

Most expensive of the pit bike styles, mainly due to the linkage inclusion. Said to handle like a big bike, looking to pay 2k+. Same general specs as klx110 and crf70.

[Carlts]

Well that took longer then expected ^^^^^^ Will a more in-depth thread one day linking all reviews and places to buy as well as include component comparisons and specs. Any questions, give us a buzz....

 

[DHZ_XR8cing]

+ reps Carlts. Your a great help.

 

[nickv1980]

Excellent post mate great buyers guide right there ^^^

 

[THUMPINOZ]

Wow great breakdown of all the different types/brands/models & sizes & motors

Im looking at building a bike soon, Dont want to spend the money outright so I will get the bits as I go

I wanted to get a midsize frame setup but could not find one at the time so I picked up an Atomik (not midsize) 160 frame & swingarm & will be building it soon

I found this bike on ebay & gumtree & im sure I found it on here somewhere but cant find it again?

Basically it is a smaller CRF50 style frame with longer forks

Anyone know who owns this or where the thread is with this bike, It listed the upgrades in the thread?

As mentioned I have a smaller style frame on the way but I have a set of longer forks sitting here to go on it, How does this setup work?

looks like maybe 50crooks old bike? to me the forks on it look to big, there not usally pushed up that high. theres not much you can do with crf 50 style bikes anyway, either 12/10" wheels or 14/12" inch wheels which it already has

 

[THUMPINOZ]

Im sure I saw this bike in a thread & it mentioned that the forks were added and other bits & pieces but cant find the thread now? I may have me wires crossed with another bike though cause I cant find the thread?

Any way I will buy a bigger midsize (CRF70) bike later, That way I can start out with a set of 12"/14" wheels and maybe get a set of 14"/17" wheels later on for it

Just looking to see what I can do with the Atomik Nitrous 160 smaller size bike for now, I will start my own thread & add pics when I get the frame & get some of it together

I will have to hunt up a few bits & pieces to complete it too, Will have to keep me eye out in the classified section

 

[wipeass]

if you want reliable and quality, dont even bother looking at the china's. get a second hand jap bike - eg- honda, kawasaki, suzuki etc

 

[GooseMan]

China's are fine mate just look after em, Atomik already make a bike with bigger wheels, its called an Atomik Reign Bigfoot, and will cost about the same off the Bay.
