Introducing the 2020 CPI SX 50, a spirited super motard that’s designed for both urban commuting and thrilling off-road adventures. This lightweight contender is perfect for novice riders and younger enthusiasts looking to hone their skills while enjoying the freedom of two wheels.

Whether you’re zipping through city streets or tackling winding backroads, the SX 50 promises an exhilarating ride. At the heart of the SX 50 lies a potent single-cylinder, two-stroke engine with a displacement of 50 cc, boasting a spirited compression ratio of 11.5:1. This setup, combined with a Dell'Orto PHVA 17.5 carburetor, ensures crisp throttle response and punchy acceleration that keeps riders engaged.

With a weight of just 99 kg (218.3 lbs), the SX 50 offers nimble handling, while the liquid cooling system ensures optimal performance even during spirited rides.

Equipped with a robust twin-tube steel frame, the SX 50 exudes confidence in its handling capabilities. The telescopic hydraulic front suspension provides 170 mm of travel, ensuring a smooth ride over bumps and imperfections, while the rear swingarm equipped with a hydraulic monoshock absorber offers an impressive 200 mm of travel for enhanced stability and comfort. The braking system features floating calipers for both front and rear discs, ensuring responsive stopping power. With a seat height of 820 mm and a fuel capacity of 7 liters, the SX 50 is designed to cater to a wide range of riders, making it an accessible option for those just starting their motorcycling journey. **

Pros

  • Lightweight Design: At just 99 kg, the SX 50 offers excellent maneuverability, making it ideal for urban environments and tight corners.
  • Fuel Efficiency: With a consumption rate of 3.14 liters per 100 km, this bike allows for extended rides without frequent stops at the gas station.
  • Responsive Handling: The combination of advanced suspension and braking technology provides riders with a confident and enjoyable riding experience.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Experienced Riders: While the 50 cc engine is perfect for novices, more experienced riders may find it underpowered for aggressive riding styles.

  • Small Fuel Tank: Although fuel-efficient, the 7-liter tank may require more frequent refueling on longer rides.
