Introducing the 2009 DB Motors Pirat Air, an exhilarating minibike-cross machine designed for those who crave the thrill of off-road adventures without compromising on agility and performance. With a unique blend of lightweight construction and robust engineering, the Pirat Air stands as a testament to DB Motors' commitment to delivering high-quality motorcycles that cater to both beginners and seasoned riders alike. Crafted in Italy, this nimble two-stroke minibike is perfectly positioned within the competitive market of lightweight, entry-level off-road bikes, making it an ideal choice for young riders or those looking to hone their skills on dirt trails. At the heart of the Pirat Air lies a spirited single-cylinder, two-stroke engine boasting a displacement of 49.80 cc. This powerhouse delivers an impressive 11 horsepower at a staggering 13,500 RPM, giving riders the punch they need for quick acceleration and spirited rides. The engine’s 14.5:1 compression ratio and Dell’orto PHBG 19 carburettor fuel system ensure crisp throttle response and smooth power delivery, while the automatic centrifugal clutch paired with a seamless gearbox enhances the overall riding experience.

The DB Motors Pirat Air is packed with features that elevate its performance and rider comfort. The single steel beam frame provides an excellent balance of rigidity and weight reduction, while the Magnum front suspension and special racing rear suspension offer responsive handling and stability over rough terrain. Braking is handled by robust single disc systems both front and rear, ensuring confidence-inspiring stopping power. Riders can choose between two wheel size options, 10”-12” or 12”-14”, allowing customization to fit their riding style and preferences. With a compact seat height of 690 mm, the Pirat Air is accessible for riders of varying heights, making it an attractive choice for younger or less experienced enthusiasts. **
