50cc Dirt Bikes — the 52cc Two-Stroke Range

The starter petrol dirt bike of the catalogue: a 51.7cc two-stroke mini with an automatic clutch, published with its complete factory table.

Buyers search for this class as the 50cc dirt bike; the factory's documented model is a 52cc machine — a 51.7cc single-cylinder two-stroke, air-cooled, with a 1L tank, chain drive and a full-auto clutch. It is the lightest petrol dirt bike in the documented range at 19 kg net, and the specification is more complete than the class usually gets: front USD (upside-down) forks, a rear mono shock absorber, and front and rear disc brakes.

The remaining figures from the table: maximum speed 25–30 km/h, maximum load capacity 75 kg, seat height 550mm, minimum ground clearance 200mm, steel frame, 12½x2.75 wheels, and a package size of 87x28x54cm — a small, dense carton that suits e-commerce and mail-order channels as much as dealer shelves. The same 51.7cc platform also underpins the 52cc mini bike in the mini bike family, with different wheels, brakes and geometry; the two tables are published separately and should not be interchanged.

For a first petrol bike the buying logic is the auto clutch and the weight: no gears to manage, a seat low enough for young riders, and a machine light enough for a parent to lift into a car. Riders who outgrow it move to the 125cc four-stroke group; riders who want electric instead start with the minis on the mini dirt bike page.
