atomic 120 (cost �£300-�£350 off fleabay)
good points:-
suspesnion is spot on for the price you pay, holds its line on gravel/mud well and its also partial to the odd jump
get braided brake lines as standard which are pretty decent
pretty strong motor for a 120, more torquey than outright power though
12 inch front wheel, much prefer the riding position to running 10's all round
high seat, good for tall feckers like me
alloy swingarm which looks and feels pretty sturdy, only time will tell though
bad points:-
the wheels are shocking quality
weighs a lot for a pit bike
gear box is shoddy, likes the occasional gear jump
frame is partial to rusting if you dont keep it greased up
rampage pit bike 125cc (cost �£300 from poweroffroad)
good points:-
will not die. its been jumped, ragged about sensless and even had a head on collision with a tree.
as opposed to the atomic it seems to lack inital low down torque but overall has a higher bhp output as it pulls itslef to redline in 4th alot easier than the atomic even with 17/37 gearing on it.
although the quality of metals used looks poor its held up pretty well so far, even with my 15 stone ass on it.
bad points:
clutch springs are appauling and need changing fairly soon
the haedstock bearings are also poor and theres some play, also makes a nice knocking noise when you break hard
suspension is the worst, the engine slam panel and pegs touch down when landing jumps.
Along with the aboves points both bikes along with all budget bikes id imagine suffer with these:
throttle cable is made of string. get a QA throttle fitted asap
chains are like cheese string, as above get a new 1 fitted asap
tyres are made of plastic, you should be getting the jist now replace asap
brake pads turn to dust after 5 minutes
the air filters will fall apart as they as they see a bit of wet
the gear shifters and brake lever will bend alot after 1 crash
