Overview

Introducing the 2011 AJS DD50E-2, a captivating blend of style and performance that captures the essence of custom-cruiser motorcycles. This bike is designed for those who appreciate the open road and crave a machine that stands out in both looks and rideability. With its striking black frame adorned with vibrant red and yellow flames, the DD50E-2 is not just a mode of transport; it’s a statement. Targeted mainly at new riders and urban commuters, this lightweight cruiser offers an approachable entry point into the world of motorcycling, making it an attractive option in the competitive market of 50cc bikes. At the heart of the AJS DD50E-2 lies a spirited 49cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a nimble yet satisfying performance. With a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.4 mm, this compact powerhouse is designed for efficiency and reliability. The air-cooled engine is paired with a 4-speed gearbox, allowing riders to smoothly navigate through city streets or enjoy leisurely rides on back roads. Thanks to its wet, multiplate clutch system, gear changes are seamless, providing a confidence-inspiring ride. The overall lightweight design, at just 87 kg, combined with its responsive handling, ensures that even novice riders can appreciate the thrill of riding without feeling overwhelmed. The DD50E-2 is packed with features that enhance both comfort and convenience. The combination of electric and kick-start options means you’ll never be left stranded, while the 6-litre fuel tank ensures you can enjoy longer rides without frequent stops at the pump. Its low seat height of 650 mm makes it accessible for riders of all sizes, fostering a sense of control and confidence. The bike is equipped with a telescopic front fork and a twin shock swing arm at the rear, providing a balanced ride that absorbs the bumps in the road with ease. Safety is also a priority, with a single disc front brake paired with a reliable drum brake at the rear, offering solid stopping power for city riding. **

Pros
