Will a 125cc dirtbike beat a pit bike?? same company year etc? |
Will a 125cc dirtbike beat a pit bike?? same company year etc? Too many differance in the 'WHAT If' department. What if the pit bike is a highly modied one and the 125 is a stock air cooled trail bike etc. Generally speaking, if the same Rider was to ride BOTH bikes, and the lap times determined the winner:Then the 125 would win. Even if the 125 was a xr125 and the pit bike was a CHP 103. The 125 has better susension and the bigger wheel make it faster through most obstacles. Just holding the 125 wide open and shifting into 4th gear would beat the CHP 103. For the Pit bike to Win: If a 220 pound BUBBA is riding the 125 (any type 125) and he is a true beginner or Amatuer, and the pit bike is a real 'racing pit bike' like one from Classic Honda Performance or BBR and that pit bike is ridden by a REAL racer like say McGrath or even a fast Expert like Taylor Thomas (RFC pit bike Champ) then the 'pit bike' will win. In 'Dirt Rider' magazine I think it was, they had a shootout where a Pro Rider would race a magazine editor. For each new moto, they made the Pro reduce his bike size until he was on a Pit bike. Even with the editor cutting the track the Pro won every time. the Pro was Ryan Hughes (i think) Even if your talking a 125cc vs 50cc matchup, of say a CR125R vs xr50, it will be more about the rider than the bike. If the 125 rider is uncapable of jumping a 25 foot tabletop but the 50 Rider can and WILL, the 50 win.That would depend upon whether you are talking about a 125cc 2 stroke or 4 stroke. The pit bikes are only a slow bike but 125cc 4 strokes are really not much more than a trail bike and certainly not designed for any jumping as the suspension is not set up for it. My daughter had a KLX 125 for a while and it was in no way in the league of my boys CR125's or even the KX125. The TTR is much the same. That is a complicated question. There are no companies that make a "pitbike" version and a "dirtbike" version so there is no way to compare apples to apples. First of all the top manufacturers (Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, KTM) don't make anything they call a pitbike. Racers started riding small "kids" off road bikes like the CRF50 around the pits between motos so people started calling them "pitbikes". As they gained more popularity some tracks started having a pitbike class just for fun. In response to that companies started making performance parts for these bikes and and pitbike racing grew even more popular. Now there are companies like Sikk and Motovert that make custom pitbikes. They are basically aluminum framed bikes with a 10" or 12" rear wheel, long travel suspension, and usually a 90 to 125cc air cooled 4 stroke engine. So to get back to your question a Sikk 125cc pitbike would out perform a Yamaha TT-R 125 trail bike, but would get eaten alive by a Yamaha YZ125 motocross bike. The pitbike is faster than a comparable trail bike mainly because it has an much lighter aluminum frame compared to the steel framed trail bike. The pitbike also generally produces more horsepower than the trail bike since it usually has some performance parts like a high compression piston, oil cooler, etc. |
