Overview

Introducing the 2018 HM CRE 50 Baja, a formidable contender in the enduro-offroad category that promises to deliver exhilarating performance and outstanding versatility for both novice and experienced riders alike. Hailing from the renowned Italian manufacturer HM, this lightweight motorcycle is specifically engineered to tackle the rugged trails and sandy dunes with confidence and agility. With its striking aesthetic available in vibrant color options of red, white, green, and blue, the CRE 50 Baja not only turns heads but also lives up to its adventurous spirit. At the heart of the HM CRE 50 Baja is a spirited 49.70 ccm single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, meticulously tuned to unleash a delightful blend of power and responsiveness. The engine's compression ratio of 12.0:1 and a bore-stroke ratio of 40.3 x 39.0 mm work harmoniously to produce an impressive power band, giving riders the thrill of acceleration while maintaining control on challenging terrains. Equipped with a 6-speed gearbox and a wet multi-plate clutch, the Baja offers seamless gear transitions that enhance the rider's experience. Additionally, the liquid cooling system ensures optimal performance, allowing the bike to maintain high efficiency even during extended rides through harsh conditions. The HM CRE 50 Baja is not just about raw power; it integrates thoughtful engineering and cutting-edge technology to enhance the riding experience. The perimeter frame contributes to excellent rigidity and stability, while the USD front forks provide an impressive 260 mm of travel, absorbing the harshest bumps and jumps with ease. The braking system, featuring a single disc both at the front (250 mm) and rear (220 mm), ensures precise stopping power, giving riders the confidence to navigate tricky descents or sudden obstacles. With an adjustable seat height of 925 mm, the Baja accommodates a wide range of riders, making it a versatile choice for everyone. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing only 96 kg (211.6 lbs), the Baja is easy to maneuver, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned riders.
  • Powerful and Responsive Engine: The 49.70 ccm two-stroke engine provides exhilarating acceleration and quick throttle response, perfect for tackling off-road challenges.
  • Advanced Suspension: With 260 mm of front travel and a robust rear mono-shock, the suspension system is designed to absorb shocks, providing a smoother ride over rough terrain.

Cons

  • Limited Fuel Capacity: The smaller engine size may result in shorter ride durations before needing to refuel, which could be a drawback for long-distance adventures.
  • Two-Stroke Maintenance: Riders must be mindful of the maintenance requirements associated with two-stroke engines, which can be more demanding than their four-stroke counterparts.
  • Height Considerations: With a seat height of 925 mm, the Baja may not be suitable for shorter riders, potentially limiting its audience.
