The M1nsk X 200 looks like a very fun budget bike and an excellent machine for new riders, as well. The Belarusian manufacturer is apparently making a joint effort with the Chinese from Zongsheng and the resulting bikes are really neat. In case reliability is decent, we're looking at a cool entry point.
With a 200cc 4-stroke single delivering 15 hp, we can only hope that the gearing of the 5-speed tranny is designed for exceptional low-rev torque. In case it is not, mudding could turn into a frustrating experience aboard the M1nsk X 200.
The bike shares the looks and livery of its supermoto-minded CX 200 sibling, but it is equipped with bigger wheels, for tackling the obstacles more easily. The road-focused CX 200 has 17" wheels, whereas the enduro one brings the classic 21" - 18" duo.
This air-cooled machine uses the same brakes like the road one, a 300mm disc with a 2-pot caliper in the front and a 200mm rotor in the rear. The dry weight is the same, 128 kg (282.5 lbs). However, we can expect that the suspension is revalved, and tuned for difficult surfaces.
Eith dual, kick and electric starting, the M1nsk X 200 can surely deliver quite a fun ride in the wild. And since it's street-legal, reaching the favorite remote dirt areas is infinitely easier.
