Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2010 CH Racing CH 508 Senior, a pint-sized powerhouse designed specifically for young riders aged 7 to 10 years. Positioned in the minibike-cross category, this motorcycle is the perfect introduction to the exhilarating world of motocross. With its Italian pedigree, CH Racing expertly modifies Husqvarna bikes to create machines that blend performance with an engaging riding experience. The CH 508 Senior not only boasts a striking blue and yellow color scheme but also comes equipped with the technology and features that will instill confidence in young riders while they tackle their first dirt tracks. At the heart of the CH 508 Senior is a spirited single-cylinder, two-stroke engine with a displacement of 49.70 ccm, delivering an impressive 8.00 HP. This combination results in a power-to-weight ratio of 0.2286 HP/kg, ensuring that the bike is responsive and agile, catering perfectly to the needs of beginner riders. The air-cooled engine, complemented by a DELL'ORTO PHBG 19 BS carburetor, provides reliable performance while keeping maintenance straightforward. Whether navigating tight corners or launching off small jumps, the telescopic hydraulic front fork and single shock absorber rear suspension work in harmony to absorb bumps and enhance stability, allowing riders to focus on honing their skills. The CH 508 Senior comes packed with features that enhance both safety and performance. A reliable kick starter ensures that young riders can get going without fuss, while a front disc brake and a rear drum brake system provide effective stopping power, promoting confidence in their braking ability. With a seat height of 678 mm (26.7 inches) at its lowest setting, this bike is designed for smaller riders, allowing them to plant their feet firmly on the ground. It also has a compact length of 1,400 mm (55.1 inches) and a lightweight frame, weighing only 35 kg (77.2 pounds), which makes maneuvering the bike easier and more enjoyable. The 2.80-liter fuel tank will keep young adventurers on the track longer, ensuring a fun-filled day of riding. **
