RX4 Trail Worthy?

Bob Kelly · 04-03-2022, 02:40 AM

I own an RX4 and a TT250.... the RX4 is ok for dirt roads but any real single track riding it is just too heavy ! and what no one else has mentioned ...it will beat you to death !
the rear suspension is so hard it is not even funny i have no idea what they were thinking but a 30 minute ride the way they sent it to me wore me out and I felt like I had been through a military blanket party ! LOL....
i have done some work on it and it's better now but only a little , I am trying to get a new rear spring for it so I can have a softer ride.... i've let out some air in both tires and that helps and I opened up the shock stiffness to the softest ride possable and that has yet to be tested .... they were as hard as they could possably be.... why? I have no idea !!!!
.....
the TT250 is too tall..... it needs to be lowered for me to ride it even with the low seat
it's tall wheels ( in the rear) makes the bike want to fall over in slow turns..... but it could be I am just not used to it yet.....
the power is quite modest to say the least but it does go and it rides fairly good
it will reach 60mph but sense it is new I didn't want to push it too hard i've got just 112 miles on it.... and the battery died completely dead so I pulled it out and there was no water in the battery at all.... it's on the charger now....
.....
the RX4 is a beautiful bike but it is very heavy... it rides like a truck though.
and it has the power to do the dirt but with that weight you would be fighting the front digging in all the time....
the TT250 is fine I would say it is not outstanding because the power is quite low..maybe after it is broke in it will be better but I put the jet kit in it and there is only a very small change for the better...... it needs a bigger carburator and a smaller rear tire and knobbies as those tires suck in the dirt ( especially at 32 p.s.i !)
the tt250 is a putter, not a racer.... and it will get you there....just don't be in a hurry
