With its lightweight frame and robust specifications, the Pirat AC 12-14 captures the essence of what makes minibike racing so exhilarating—speed, maneuverability, and the pure joy of riding. At the heart of the Pirat AC 12-14 lies a nimble 49.80 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 11 horsepower at a staggering 13,500 RPM.

The 2006 Pirat AC 12-14 is equipped with a range of features that enhance its performance and rider experience. The single steel beam frame provides excellent rigidity while keeping the weight down, allowing for nimble handling. The Magnum front suspension and specially designed rear suspension ensure that the bike can tackle rough terrains with ease, giving riders confidence in their ability to navigate challenging courses. Additionally, the advanced Dell’orto PHBG 19 carburettor and electronic ignition system provide reliable starting and smooth throttle response, making it an ideal choice for both competitive races and leisurely rides. **
