Really love it that you tackled the hilly rough terrain you did including going off tracks and continuous climbs. Essential information to know what these are capable of.
I have a mid grade build baja mb200 built for hill climbs and mountains the chain comes off regularly on gnarly climbs I bought a chain tensioner and it fixed the issue
Hey buddy, I always try and make informed decisions on the big purchases I make. I’ve been thinking about this bike as an option. Thanks so much for putting out such a good review. Quality stuff my guy
I've owned one for a little over a year now. Stage 2 internals with a few misc upgrades. I can absolutely recommend the bike. The delivery was simple the assembly was easy and right out of the box it's an extremely enjoyable bike. If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer
@@anon556 I ended up ordering it and put it together yesterday. Easy assembly with a few tweaks needed (it is a Chinese build after all). So far I'm pretty pleased
The 200x was my first bike. It's amazing. I rode my buddies Coleman bt-200u and that thing is dangerous. It's fun no doubt. But coming from the 200x its like an entire different world. I can ride the 200x all day and feel fine. You ride the Coleman for 30 minutes and you're going to be feeling it. It's so jerky, vibrates like a sun of a gun and it's a testicle slapper but it rips and it was cheap 🤷♂️ the single front disc brake also basically does nothing. The peace of mind of knowing I can effectively stop when I need to is HUGE The best upgrade I've done so far is buying a road shock 8 inch LED spot/flood combo light to Mount on the front. The stock headlight mount fits it like a glove. Run the power to a small 12v tool battery and install the switch on the faux tank. Milwaukee 3A compact battery lasts all day of riding and the light is infinity times better than the stock garbage. Just don't forget to recharge it after lol. Also if you install a larger set of rear shocks you will also need to install a larger rear sprocket or fit a chain tensioner as changing the stock geometry of the suspension can lead to chain spacing issues pretty fast.
Hello! For some reason I like the fat tired minis, I've managed to pick up a fleet of them. A BT2OOX, Honda CT70 78 & a 83 Z50 & to top the fleet out a Suzuki RV 90. I want one of those! Suspension up grades, shocks pretty easy but for front. 2 choices, add a preload spacer and swap the oil. OR getting a set of used forks off a dead motorbike. That can lead to some custom/ DIY stuff. But you may get away with some pitbike forks, axles may swap out. Washer can be used as spacers.
Did find out on cars and cameras channel GO POWER SPORTS is developing way better front forks and rear shocks, cars and cameras had a video of the suspension and they race it, seems to be a pretty awesome set up just not available to the public yet, so it's coming.
Dear… “sir” or Mr Redneck, whatever you go by lol. I’m in the market for a solid reliable mini bike to cruise the plentiful amount of dirt roads about me in farm country podunk Kansas when I saw your review. Very informative and educational I must say and as for the GoPro malfunctioning I think it worked for you because it gives a more realistic perspective of the ride experience, on that terrain you’re basically riding a wheeled paint mixer man! Stay safe and happy wheeling
Great video Brother ive got a dr650 kz900cc quad 1700 kawi and i love this little bike bigger shocks tank and stage 1 kit and it ups power and durability forever semper-fi love those mountain trails
I just bought one of these for the trails, pretty impressive. I like the improved brakes and front and rear suspension. Massimo did just come out with a new MB200S that has rear suspension and is half the price of this bike, but I haven't seen one yet. I also have a Coleman BT200X which i really like also. The Trailmaster does feel a little smoother and goes faster out of the box. I would really like a better headlight and some taller handle bars. I need to see what's available. I bought the Coleman first and surprisingly my girlfriend liked riding it to so I bought me the Trailmaster Hurricane 200X so we can ride together. Having a great time with them.
that new model of massimo the MB200s is the Mud Star 200. I bought one for the rear shocks, and the sales dude led me on about the MB200s having a torque converter, it dont. it was only 699, but it has a great light. really bright. i would prefer the seat the warrior has, instead of the trailmaster style. id pay the extra 100 for it to come with the CVT installed. i have to void the warranty and hack up a kit to put one on and custon rig up a cover. tell massimo not to sell a ford in a chevy box, and stick a CVT on it and you'll corner the market at a grand
I got one of these bikes as well and I just love it. I put the stage 1 kit and the superpipe on it and now it's got a little more low end torque to match the 40mph on the high end.
Can you list the handlebar height - the highest point ? Also - how much is total length ? I'm thinking "will it fit in my SUV, w/ rear seats laid down ?" If so, WINNER ! (No trailer needed to travel to dunes / ride spots etc) TY for your help. I have other bikes, but see the "simple & sweet fun" aspect here. This is a "poor man's Yamaha TW200"
Modify the fork! I did a video on it not too long ago. It's easy and makes a huge difference. A 60t sprocket helps take the slip out. The Juggernaut won't produce positive results until you can make 7000-8000 rpm with a crack of the throttle.
This engine stock is governed. It stops the engine from going more than 3,500 rpms. If you remove or bypass the governor then you can get anywhere from 40-45 stock with a lot more power. It's really simple, just look up a video on it and it will help a lot
I've got a Coleman ct200u a with a predator 212cc motor on it I removed the revlimiter out of the motor and added a performance muffler and a torque unit on it it goes 60 mph and it has great climbing power you don't have to put your feet down to help it up a hill it climbs on it's own power
As a woman, comfort and safety are my first priorities. Great video. Too bad the stock gas tank wasn't a real one on top. This would be my first choice if buying one
@@David-1-2-7not sure which bike you are referring to but I bought my son the mm212 and put a pred 212 in it. we did not even ride it stock. I ripped the carb off and put a aftermarket on and a pipe and it moves my big ass quick. does at least 30-35 i would say.
@@kenjuicekrajewski9577 what else did you have to change other than the shocks. Im 6'5 255 and i want one but wanna know how much i gotta spend to be comfortable out the box lol
For nearly 1100 dollars new, I'd be leaning toward rebuilding a smaller dirtbike from the 80's or 90's and have a much more capable and purpose-built machine when done, as well as something that takes a beating, uses proper motorcycle controls, and can be a better stepping stone for full sized machines later.
Or you could get one of these and actually have fun when you're riding and not just go mach jesus and flip and die. Seriously these aren't meant to be fast, and they're JUST as capable as a dirtbike, they just have less power stock. With a fully built minibike you can get close to as much power as a dirtbike, but it'll still underpreform because dirtbikes were specifically designed to be fast, these were designed to have fun, and still be able to have a smooth fun ride. It's like comparing apples to oranges dude.
@@cameronwilson1815 Dude, I respectfully disagree with your assessments of dirt-bikes. While dirtbikes cover a vast range of categories today (enduro, MX, dual sport, trail), they didn't cover as much back in the 80's or 90's but as a consequence today's machines are much more focused, engineered, and powerful, but mostly in the MX category. Comparatively the 80's and 90's machines would be equivalent to today's trail bikes, or enduros, which have a broader powerband, aren't wild and radical ("specifically designed to be fast"), and are much more limited. I've already ridden a YZ250 from the early 2000's and it was wild. That's not what I'm talking about.
@@exothermal.sprocket I respectfully disagree with you respectfully disagreeing to me, todays minibikes, and minibike modifications can not so easily keep up with dirtbike. With the right build and a decent amount of money you can build a minibike with enough power to keep up with modern dirtbike (Depending on the cc). Obviously it wont keep up with a ktm 450 sx-f, but it could easily keep up with some more average sized dirtbikes. Even though minibikes will never have the power to keep up with high-end dirtbikes, they could still over-power some beginner to medium level dirtbikes. I'd bet that a built minibike could keep up with most 250cc dirtbikes on the market today fairly easily, assuming it was built for the right purposes. Many minibike are made for offroad use, and due to the size of their tires will most likely never out preform a dirtbike, but road minibike builds would be more than enough to keep up with most dirtbikes top speed and accelerations. Thats just my opinion of course, and some may agree or disagree, but minibikes can do much more than some people like to admit.
@@cameronwilson1815 I don't dispute they can be made pretty capable. However, it's sort of obvious you prefer them. I prefer the idea of a more purposeful machine that needs nothing, really, and does very well.
Belts might be consumable, but they last 3-4 months usually until you have to replace them, and it's only like $20 for 3 of them. You'll be spending more than that just with the up-keep on a dirtbike, so I don't see the comparison here.
Really love it that you tackled the hilly rough terrain you did including going off tracks and continuous climbs. Essential information to know what these are capable of.

If the brakes lock move the engine forward and move the wheels all the way forward should help

You can modify and put a tank up top
Is the only upgrade the front disc brakes? They needed to change sprocket for better low-end torque.
The problem with these is the price goes up and you still need to hurt the bank to make em fast
Facts
Price is lowered from $1400 to $1100 for some reason

It is by far the most capable stock minibike on the market. But it has the potential to be more if you so choose.
