Hi guys as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines!
The other day we made a video about ATV motorbike SR-21. That material and the bike itself turned
out to be quite interesting that is why we decided to compare it with other bikes and dirtbikes. And
today we are ready to make such a battle. So meet the competitors. ATV motorbikes SR-21 and Scout
and a couple of dirtbikes are ready to go! There are two different approaches to the offroading.
Speedy and jumpy dirtbikes and slow but torque atv bikes. Today we are going to find out who is the
most efficient at offroading! Its high time to begin and firstly lets look closer at the bikes.
ATV Motorbike SR-21. All the details you can find at our previous video about this bike.
Now I just remind you of the main facts. The bike has the simplest construction.
The engine is 8 hp Chinese Lifan. The weight of the bike is 99 kilos.
The transmission consists of a CVT and huge torque sprocket. Only rear wheel has a disk brake. The
huge advantage is the most comfortable and soft front and rear suspension and the luxurious cozy
seat. Besides it has big low pressure wheels. And as a result the bike is sooo comfortable!
Meet Michael And his atv bike Scout. I should mention this bike is quite popular cause it
proved to be cheap but rather efficient. The bike is equipped with 125 cc engine 7 hp power
and mechanical gear box with 4 ranges. The weigh of the bike is 90 kilos.
Here we again can see big low pressure wheels with mud tires and disk brakes. There are front
and rear suspension but its tougher than at SR-21. Unlike previous bike there is an electric starter
and some additional lights, like turns and stop signal. By the way it’s the only bike today which
is equipped with the reverse gear. It often does a lot of good when moving cross country.
Dmitry and his dirt bike Motoland Apex 125. It’s a simple Chinese dirt bike with 9 hp four
stroke engine and mechanical 4 ranges gear box. There is a front and rear suspension
standard for dirt bikes and hydraulic disk brakes. The weight is only 70 kilos but the
carrying capacity is 150 kilos. Besides there are few slight modifications in the construction,
new carburetor wires and exhaust. As a result this bike is completely ready for the race.
And we have one more dirt bike. Meet Denis and his BSE bike. Again it’s a Chinese dirt bike,
the brand BSE is quite popular, their bike proved to be cheap but decent. There is the same 125 cc
engine and 4 ranges gear box. The weight is 72 kilos. The front wheel is 17 inches and rear
one is 14. Actually the bike is absolutely alike previous one, but the manufacturers are different.
And I think it is enough of theory, lets move to the practice right now!
And all the competitors are ready for the race now standing on a startline. Meantime I should
mention one more thing. You may ask me why we didn’t invite more serious enduro or all wheel
drive bikes like Rokon? The matter is today we have one of the cheapest bikes on the market.
We will discuss the prices a bit later and now lets have a ride!
And while we are riding I would like to say few words about my SR-21 bike. I‘ve had it for
almost a season and now I can give some feedback. It’s the simplest bike with the simplest design,
so do not expect much of this bike, but I can say its rather practical. Its not very fact but torqy,
two people can easily go by it. Moreover it can be used with a trailer to carry some cargo.
As to other bikes, I haven’t owned them, so I can’t say much about their performance or
reliability. But their owners also are satisfied with the bikes in general.
But now lets compare them with each other.
And as usually we start with a drag race! Lets find out who is the fastest. And now I give my
bike to another rider cause we don’t have enough camera men. So I’ll take the camera and do my job.
As we can see the dirtbike undoubtedly is the fastest.
Scout takes the second place and SR-21 is the last. Lets make one more run!
And again we have the same results. The dirtbike is the fastest. And two atvbikes
have approximately the same speed. By the way dirtbikes have 70 km/h maximum speed
and atv motorbike only 45 km/h. Well its all clear now lets move to the next test.
Now lets see how our bikes can get over the sand hill. Firstly the simple track and
Scout is trying. No sweat. The dirtbike Apex also flies here without a hitch.
But BSE dirtbike has some difficulties here, making a slight mistake.
And Sr-21. Without any problem.
Now we try the more complicated path here. And all the bikes are getting through the task this time.
And another more complicated task with steep ascent and loose sand. And again all bikes
overcome this task. We need a harder one! I think this hill is suitable.
Scout and dirt bikes take this ascent as we can see.
But SR-21 gets stuck here. Maybe because of a little more weight.
And the most complicated hill for today is taken by Scout and one dirtbike.
Other bikes failed here.
Now lets have a look how the suspension works. Undoubtedly SR-21 is most comfortable.
Its suspension is the softest. Other bikes are definitely tougher.
We can see now the difference is the suspension systems.
The dirtbike and Scout have some kind o a sport suspension, its tougher but more sustainable.
As to SR-21 it is more comfortable and its shocks have quite large travel.
There are a lot of hummocks at this hill and we can see that
the bikes go here in the different ways. SR-21 slightly jumps here.
Scout jumps a little bit higher on the same hummock. And the dirtbike jumps the highest.
Then we are facing some offroading obstacles. And here we expect our atv bikes to show
better results than the dirtbikes. Especially SR-21. The matter is it has quite torqy engine,
that is considered as advantage for moving in mud. In fact the
result turned out to be quite different. SR-21 instead of winning this competition
suddenly gets broken. Its chain came off and tore apart. In this way this bike quits our battle.
And while the rest bikes go offroading lets speak about the prices.
As I said today we took the cheapest bikes. The price of SR-21 is 1000 dollars.
Scout costs 1200 dollars. The dirtbike Apex costs 800 dollars and BSE 900.
And few words to sum up our battle. SR-21 is comfortable and practical bike that maybe useful
for households and everyday use. But at offroading its much worse than other our bikes. On the other
hand if you choose a dirtbike it is absolutely not suitable for everyday use. As to the Scout – I
think it’s a golden mean between them. It can be used both for fun rides and for everyday use.
Well lets call it a day! Thanks for watching guys, please consider subscribing the channel
