Its striking green color option adds a touch of personality, ensuring you won’t go unnoticed as you take on the wilderness. At the heart of the BX 505 is a powerful 505cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering an impressive 59.67 HP at 8,500 RPM and 50 Nm of torque at 5,750 RPM. This combination allows for exhilarating acceleration and reliable performance, whether you're tackling steep inclines or navigating through tight, technical sections.

The fully adjustable 50 mm front suspension and Sachs rear shock absorber allow riders to fine-tune settings for an optimal experience, whether you're conquering rocky trails or cruising at speed. Braking is handled by single discs at both the front and rear, providing reliable stopping power with a 260 mm front brake and a 220 mm rear brake diameter. Additional practical features include both electric and kick starters, ensuring you're ready to hit the road (or off-road) at a moment's notice. **
