  • In today's video I'll be comparing the X-Pro Storm 125cc Chinese dirt bike vs. Honda Crf 110cc Japanese dirt bikes. The X-Pro Storm 125cc has a great price and an impressive description ,but is it reliable enough to compete with Honda? We will find out!

    Any idea how this xpro 150 compares to apollo 140cc. They're in the same price range, trying to find something small (i'm 5'6) with lots of power

    • @MartinRacingChannel
      @MartinRacingChannel  Před měsícem +1

      Both should be close in power and price range. The seat height for both bikes should be pretty similar as well. Both bikes are considered mid sized bikes.The apollo bikes have graphic kits for them, and X-pro don't at this time. Apollo has already made a name for themselves, and the x-pro bikes are just seen as a cheap bikes at the moment that haven't been tried and tested as much as Apollo. The X-Pro brand is getting there, though, with people like myself and others. I would determine what riding you are going to be doing, if you want to leave the bike stock, or modify it, and I'd look at the specs of each. Then you'll be able to make your decision. Hopefully, this helps some.

    So you have a TB big bore kit in your bike and the Honda has a 138 kit as well, my question is whether the power on your bike is comparable to the Honda's? The other question is what forks and rear shock did you go with and how much did the suspension upgrades cost? I am looking to get a couple of these bikes and build them up to ride around with my son and my grandkids and need the bikes to handle mine and my son's 190lb butts really ripping the snot out of them.
    We both are former privateer MX racers and have the skills to lay it down but have never messed with these little bikes so we are way out of our element. Sure we could buy a Piranha, YCF, Thumpster, or Pitster Pro but would rather spend the money on getting the entire family riding than just us. Like you said you can buy 4 bikes for the cost of one of the other brands.
    I am impressed by how well your bike performs. Any advice and guidance is greatly appreciated.

    • @MartinRacingChannel
      @MartinRacingChannel  Před 5 měsíci +2

      So, in this video, my bike is stock only performance mods are a nibbi 22mm carburetor, uni air filter, and dunlop mx34 tires. The rear shock I use is an Amazon 980lb 10.25" $40 shock. I'm using the stock front forks. They lasted right at 11 months before the seals started leaking.
      The xpro storm 125cc is stronger than lightly modded crf 110. In this video, I'm racing against my friends bike that has the 132cc big bore. It can battle with that bike without any problems.
      To answer your question the X-Pro Storm 125cc is 810 shipped to your door from powersportsmax a little more if you use Amazon or Ebay. A handlebar upgrade $45-100 , nibbi carb upgrade with air filter, $60-80, $40 rear shock, $40 rk chain. $1000 dollars in your machine you can beat crf 110s, klx 110s, ttr 110s etc...
      The X-Pro is 30 lbs lighter than a crf 110
      The crf 110 is more comfortable sitting, but performance wise you won't be disappointed against other dirtbikes in the same class.

      My brother was about 190lbs and he changed to a heavier fork oil i have it in the description it stiffend up the front for him and it worked well. I have the 138cc big bore kit installed now. It is a BEAST. However, my chain came off over a table top and locked up my engine at the top of 3rd gear. Now I'm having a weird clicking noise in neutral now. When the clutch is pulled or the bike is in gear there is no noise so I'm sure I messed up the shift shaft or the shift forks on the shift drum got bent I'm not sure. So it's just sitting at the moment. It is crazy fast with the big bore/ race head kit. I haven't got to open it up yet and you can tell it's a big difference over stock.

    • @MartinRacingChannel
      @MartinRacingChannel  Před měsícem

      The biggest advantage of the big name brands is that the aftermarket is readily available. The aftermarket for the Chinese bikes are out there, but you have to hunt for better products than what comes on the bike. Performance wise, the 125cc china bike is stronger than the stock 110s , but it should be.

    I was looking at piranha 190 and pitster pro fse 190 claimed dry 142 and i think 160 wet. The pro is loaded. 5 extra pounds for 14/17s . Everything is already chromoly or aluminum.
    I was hoping with the storm there was room to upgrade with light parts and still keep it under these other bikes weights.
    Of course you don't want a bike that can't take hits, but seems like this area of weight is really as good as its gonna get.
    That storm is pretty dang small. I have a little crf50. It somehow can handle my fat ass sitting on it. And rips still lol .

    • @MartinRacingChannel
      @MartinRacingChannel  Před 2 měsíci

      The storm is small. If a pitster pro fse is in your budget I think it'd be a great bike. I was looking at the 140, but I came into an Awesome deal for my crf 110.

      I'm in california, I have to figure out who will sell it to me. California can't stop sales of small engines or bikes, they can refuse to register them. Just like if you have an old bike that's legal and need new engine, YEAH California can NOT stop sales of engine, yet every one else doesn't want to deal with ca bs.

      😏 They are really competitive with the built Hondas power wise. Reliability wise it's very difficult to compete with a Japanese bike. Aftermarket is way better for the Japanese bikes as well. Only a few companies stock parts for the china bikes.
