2022 Sinnis SM-XE 125 review: a perfect first bike for dirt riding?

The Sinnis SM-XE is a Chinese-made £3,399 learner-legal, CBT-friendly enduro-style bike. Which is probably a collection of words that's put you off - but don't be. It's designed to open up green lanes and trails to all sorts of riders - not just those with L plates. Join me for an afternoon riding mostly off-road to see why it's much more entertaining than it perhaps sounds…

I come here for your highly detailed descriptions of Britains road side attractions…….”Pub.” 😆😆😆👍.
Does look like a fun little bike to flog down a muddy lane 😉🏍.

The return of Tim off Rodie! That's a nice little bike. A great entrance into the off road community but one that can be used on road as well. Do you need to be licensed to ride these or is it being off road biased make an exemption?

Nice video. Im looking for a used Sinnis Blade, the previous model to this one, I guess. I think it would be a great trail bike for my old tired body! Was that hill into the village a Sheer Drop? Thank you , I'm here all week. Cheers.

This bike actually looks quite peppy for a 4 stroke 125 🤔

[@timrodierides]

Honestly it's not as slow as you'd imagine!

[@Lander76]

@@timrodierides Nice. What would you say it's road manners are like? Is it comfortable to ride long distance?

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

Get what you pay for so can't complain about Chinese build quality but my experience had been as they age finding parts becomes nigh on impossible. It is that reason alone I now steer away from Chinese stuff.
