Crossfire CF250

Choosing the right dirt bike for a smaller/mid-size rider is about three things: the right fit, an appropriate amount of power, and quality.

The Crossfire CF250 ticks all the above. It also offers an easy-to-use push button electric start. In terms of power, its smooth four-stroke engine delivers plenty, but the powerband is tuned to be plenty rider friendly too. The linkage rear suspension takes on the bumps and knocks of the trail. A five-speed transmission gives your rider the control of a big bike. The Crossfire Motorcycles CF250 has a sealed airbox and an enclosed battery compartment to keep things dry.

When it comes to stopping both front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc these tend to provide better feel and stopping power than the older drum set ups of yesteryear.
