Its based on the GY 110cc engine and the main specs are as follows;

Overall length 1375mm
Overall width 705mm
Seat Height 955mm
Wheel base 1010mm
Dry weight 49kg
Max load 140kg

Wheels 10"
Compression ratio 9.3:1
Torque 7.5Nm/6500rpm
Output 5.0kw/8500r/min

Ignition CDI

4 speed gearbox N1234
Manual clutch
Battery 12v 5Ah

This is the bike once the box has been stripped off.47

Overall first impression were good, bike was well packaged, and easy to remove from frame with a socket wrench.The bike comes in Black and is available in Any colour as long as its Black. I liked the all black looks and reminded me of a Suzuki Bandit in a kinda funny way!

The lack of Graphics seemed to give it an air of seriousness, but if graphics are your thing you'll have to add them yourself, and possibly make the bike more attractive to thieves!

Assembling the bike was straight forward but the bag of nuts and bolts could confuse some people as there is no instruction as to which bolts go where.

I'll do a photo at the end of the review of the bolts and their use at the end of the review.

An important point was the bolt holding the forks to the frame was secured by a nut and this nut must not be used for securing the wheel you must use the lock nut included instead.

Anyway time for another pic......

The all important bag of nuts and bolts, and the somewhat less usefull instructions.48

Some more pics.................

First thing I did was put the handlebars on whilst in the frame, to do this remove the top half of the metal packaging leaving the bike standing on the base with the forks attached to the base.

Having done this ,release the forks pull a wheely and get someone to hold the bike whilst you attach the front wheel. The wheel spacers can be tricky to decide which goes on which side, well the straight spacer goes on the disc side (left) and the spacer with a centre shielding disc goes on the other,ie right hand side, or brake resevoir side.They don't tell you that in the instructions!49

Ok here it is out of the frame wheel on and handlebars on, no stand yet so propped againts the wall :D 50

Just to keep your interest up here is one I made earlier..........

I thought I'd just give some views on the wheel size available on pit bikes.

First thing is they are available in 10" 12" and 14" and a bike like this Hell Fire comes with 10" wheels, this is not a sign of inferiority, its a matter of what you may prefer!
A bike with 10" wheels is going to have more accelertion and pulling power than the same bike with larger wheels, its all to do with torque , an engine finds it easier to turn a small diameter wheel than a large one,so you will have lightining acceleration amazing wheelies, and terrific uphill power.
However there is a down side, that is your top speed will be less as one revolution of the small wheel will take you less distance, and since the max rev of the engine is finite, its going to be slower in top speed.
If you are going off road or racing then the smaller wheels are your best bet, for acceleration and power into those jumps and climbs.

If you are going in mud and ruts then a larger set 12" or 14" are certainly going to be needed.

all of that can be overcome with diffrent gearing ;)

Stabilty off road is better with 12" wheels .. and you can ride out of ruts with 12" or 14" wheels a lot easier then 10's.
But as you said.. it is down to rider prefernce.. nice review by the way
Just a bit worried that the "Oil stain" on cardboard came from your bike?

[haveagoade]

..........yeah I noticed that, but the bike was clear of oil and topped up to correct level and the bikes been drip free since standing.

I'll do more of a review when I get the chance to have a good off road session with it.

When they pack up these bikes in the crate they give the engine and frame a spray of oil, I think the guy spraying mine must have overdone it!

nice review :D
