Built for trail enthusiasts, the 150 EXC TPI offers unmatched versatility, making it suitable for various terrains and conditions, from rocky trails to muddy tracks. At the heart of this machine lies a spirited 143.7 ccm single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers exhilarating performance while maintaining remarkable fuel efficiency. With a 6-speed gearbox that allows for smooth shifts and a multi-plate clutch operated by Brembo hydraulics, riders can effortlessly navigate through changing terrains. The bike's fuel injector system enhances the power delivery, ensuring a smooth ride while optimizing fuel consumption at an impressive 2.62 litres per 100 km.

Its central double-cradle frame is crafted from high-strength 25CrMo4 steel, providing an excellent balance between rigidity and lightness. The WP XPlor 48 upside-down fork at the front and the WP XPlor PDS shock absorber at the rear ensure that the bike can absorb bumps and jumps with confidence, offering front and rear travel of 300 mm and 310 mm, respectively. The high ground clearance of 370 mm (14.6 inches) allows riders to tackle obstacles effortlessly, while the electric starter adds a modern touch to this performance-oriented machine. Available in a striking orange and white color scheme, the 150 EXC TPI not only performs brilliantly but also stands out on the trail. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: At only 96.8 kg, the bike’s low weight contributes to its nimble handling, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces.
  • Fuel Efficiency: The advanced fuel injection system allows for impressive fuel consumption figures, making long rides more economical.
