Overview

Introducing the 2013 CPI SX 50, a captivating entry into the world of super motard motorcycles, designed specifically for those who crave agility and spirited performance. With its sleek lines and dynamic stance, the SX 50 stands out in the crowded landscape of lightweight bikes, making it an ideal choice for urban commuters and off-road adventurers alike. This model embraces the thrill of two-wheeled freedom while offering the kind of handling that riders appreciate, whether they’re navigating tight city streets or tackling winding country roads. At the heart of the SX 50 lies a 49.90cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers a spirited punch, thanks to its 11.5:1 compression ratio. This powerhouse is paired with a 6-speed gearbox that allows riders to tap into its full potential, providing an exhilarating ride on every twist of the throttle. The Dell Ortho PVHA 17.5 carburettor ensures that the engine breathes efficiently, optimizing performance while maintaining a lightweight structure. Riders will appreciate the liquid cooling system that keeps the engine temperate during spirited rides and the multi-plate clutch that offers smooth and reliable gear changes, making the SX 50 a joy to pilot, particularly in urban settings. The chassis and suspension of the CPI SX 50 are engineered for performance and stability. The robust steel beam frame provides a solid foundation, complemented by a 40 mm hydraulic front fork that boasts an impressive 195 mm of travel. This setup delivers excellent handling characteristics, allowing for confident cornering and responsive feedback. The front and rear braking systems, featuring stainless steel discs and floating calipers, offer substantial stopping power to match the bike's nimble nature. With a seat height of 830 mm, the SX 50 is accessible for a wide range of riders, ensuring comfort and control for both novice and seasoned enthusiasts. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: The compact design and low seat height make it easy to maneuver, perfect for city riding and tight corners.
  • Strong Engine Performance: The two-stroke engine delivers impressive acceleration and responsiveness, providing a thrilling riding experience.
  • Robust Suspension: High-quality suspension components offer excellent travel and handling, enhancing ride comfort and stability.

Cons

  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a 7-litre tank, long-distance rides may require more frequent stops for refueling.
  • Kick Starter Only: The absence of an electric start may be seen as a drawback for those who prefer modern conveniences.
  • Single Cylinder Limitations: While ideal for beginners, the engine's displacement may not satisfy more experienced riders seeking higher power outputs.
