Overview

Introducing the 2011 BamX BX70-DB Trailstar, a spirited contender in the minibike-cross category that is designed to ignite the thrill of off-road adventure for riders of all ages. With an attractive price point of just $999, this bike makes the exhilarating world of trail riding accessible without compromising on performance or fun. The Trailstar is perfect for newcomers eager to explore dirt tracks and wooded trails, as well as seasoned veterans looking for a lightweight companion for casual rides. Its compact design and striking color options—vibrant red or blue—make it not just a practical choice but also a stylish one. At the heart of the Trailstar lies a robust 72cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a nimble 3.60 horsepower. This petite powerhouse is engineered for spirited performance, with a torque output of 4.20 Nm at 5,500 RPM, allowing riders to tackle trails and obstacles with confidence. The automatic gearbox provides seamless shifting, letting riders focus on the thrill of the ride rather than worrying about gear changes. With a power-to-weight ratio of 0.0721 HP/kg, the lightweight (49.9 kg) frame ensures agile handling and responsive acceleration, making it an ideal choice for both novice riders and those looking to hone their skills in a controlled environment. The BamX BX70-DB Trailstar is equipped with a range of features that enhance both comfort and control. The dual front shocks and swing arm mono shock rear suspension work in tandem to absorb the bumps and dips of rugged terrain, ensuring a smooth ride. Its single disc brakes on both the front and rear provide reliable stopping power, instilling confidence as you navigate through challenging landscapes. An electric starter simplifies getting the bike up and running, while the 4-liter fuel tank ensures you’ll spend more time riding and less time refueling. With a seat height of just 711 mm, the Trailstar offers an approachable stance for shorter riders, making it an inclusive choice for anyone looking to join the off-road community. **
