Hey so I'm thinking of going with the DHZ outlaw 160r is this bike good to do Fmx on

 

[Cordogs]

A tried and tested bike. Fast, reliable and with F/A suspension rides real nice too.


However!

Looking at the new Atomik range, there's some serious bang for your buck with "this bike"
Everything the Outlaw has plus linkage.

 

[Lex233]

What Atomik looks good I'll check them out I always was told Atomik was crap?

 

[Lex233]

What's the linkage do

 

[Cordogs]

You could read "this"

Or just believe me when I say it gives you longer travel.

Dhz outlaw 160r and anything pitster pro or motovert would be good. Just a decent carby and tune suspension would be a good setup


the Braaap silent any good[/QUOTE]

Nope Electric rubbish. petrol is the way to go

 

[Lex233]

Ok cool I just don't want it to break when I start jumping it

 

[Lex233]

I would love to get a crf50 but I think it may be to expensive so me to do up that would it coast for upgrades for me to be able to safly jump it without breaking it

Buy phils weapon, he knows his bikes and it would be immaculate.

 

[LEO DPRO 037]

That bike would be fast and an absolute bargain...

 

[my67xr]

Phils' bike is an animal, definately worth the $$


a couple of Atomik's that would be worth considering too
Comp L 160 $1840 Comp L 160cc - Competition Bikes - Dirt Bikes
Comp L 172 $2400 Comp L 172cc - Competition Bikes - Dirt Bikes

I'm also looking at the PitsterPRO XJR SS 50 to make into a fast50

 

[my67xr]

the little XJR50SS will need a lot of upgrades to be able to jump it, and last
eg fork springs and legs, rear shock, frame will need strengthening, footpeg mount, engine cradle will need to be added on, handlebars and clamps, H/D spokes etc

 

[Lex233]

Is there any good 110cc pikes that would be good to jump

 

[Lex233]

Engin cradle ? Is that just a cradle frame?

 

[my67xr]

they are an add on to strengthen the bottom of the frame / foot peg mounts etc on the smaller bikes.

[Lex233]

Would I need them if I was to but a chromoly cradle frame?
