Overview

Introducing the 2012 Clipic Hit 3 Competition, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of trial riding with its agile handling and robust design. Positioned as a competitive contender in the trial category, this bike is perfect for enthusiasts seeking both performance and reliability. With a price point of approximately Euro 2005, it appeals to riders looking for an affordable entry into the world of competitive trials, while still delivering the quality and performance expected from a respected brand like Clipic. At the heart of the Hit 3 Competition lies a spirited 65cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine. This lightweight powerhouse is equipped with a Dell’Orto PHBG 19 carburettor that ensures precise fuel delivery, resulting in smooth acceleration and a lively throttle response. The electronic ignition with a microprocessor optimizes spark timing for enhanced efficiency, while the automatic gearbox paired with a centrifugal clutch allows for seamless shifting, letting riders focus on navigating obstacles without the distraction of manual gear changes. Its air-cooled design keeps weight down while maintaining reliable performance even during extended rides. The Clipic Hit 3 Competition is designed with both rider comfort and performance technology in mind. The hydraulic front fork and mono-shock rear suspension work harmoniously to absorb bumps and ensure stability over challenging terrains. Stopping power is provided by single disc brakes at both the front (180 mm) and rear (150 mm), delivering confidence-inspiring control. With a seat height of 944 mm, the Hit 3 accommodates a range of rider statures, and the kick starter adds a touch of classic charm to its modern utility. The striking red color option not only stands out but reflects the bike's competitive edge and spirited persona. **

Pros

  • Lightweight Design: Weighing in at just 94 kg, the Hit 3 offers exceptional maneuverability, making it easier to tackle technical obstacles.
  • Automatic Gearbox: The automatic transmission and centrifugal clutch provide hassle-free riding, allowing riders to concentrate on their technique rather than shifting gears.
  • Solid Suspension Setup: The combination of hydraulic front forks and a mono-shock rear suspension ensures excellent shock absorption, enhancing comfort and control on rugged trails.

Cons

  • Limited Engine Displacement: With only 65cc, the Hit 3 may lack the raw power needed for more aggressive terrains compared to larger trial bikes.
  • Kick Starter Only: The absence of an electric starter may be inconvenient for some riders, especially in challenging conditions.
  • Basic Features: While the bike excels in performance, it lacks some modern amenities that may be found on pricier models, potentially limiting its appeal to casual riders.
