Belarusian manufacturer M1nsk brings in the RX 450, a machine which is said to be able to complete with the similar bikes the "bigger boys" make.
While we know that the M1nsk bikes are manufactured in collaboration with Chinese maker Zongsheng, a natural question pops up: is the RX 450 really worth the $5,450 (€3,965) we saw it listed for?
While such cross bikes really need tough and prolonged testing on the dirt track in order to prove its reliability, M1nsk advertises a racing-grade Leo Vince exhaust, a Dell'Orto carburetor, DID chain, USD FastAce suspension and Domino controls.
The M1nsk RX 450 is powered by a 54 horsepower single-cylinder engine mated to a 6-speed transmission, rolling on a high-grade steel chassis, with a 21"-19" wheel combo.
Riders can load 11.5 liters (3 US gal) in the fuel tank, and with a dry weight of 110 kg (243 lbs), this machine looks like quite a lot of fun. Again, hardcore testing is required, but we kind of like it.
