Overview

Introducing the 2013 Cobra CX50 BW, a dynamic minibike-cross machine designed for young riders and aspiring motocross champions. With its impressive blend of lightweight construction, agile handling, and robust powertrain, the CX50 BW stands out in a competitive market, appealing to both novice and experienced riders eager to conquer the dirt track. This Spanish-made minibike embodies the spirit of competition and fun, making it a perfect entry point for youngsters looking to develop their skills in the exhilarating world of motocross. At the heart of the CX50 BW is a peppy 50cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers spirited performance while keeping things manageable for younger riders. With a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.7 mm, this compact powerhouse is tuned for responsive throttle response and thrilling acceleration. The liquid cooling system ensures optimal engine performance, even during extended rides, while the 19 mm carburettor fine-tunes fuel delivery for a smooth powerband.

The engineering prowess of the CX50 BW is evident in its advanced chassis and suspension setup. Built upon a Twin Spar Oval HSLA frame, this minibike offers a lightweight yet sturdy foundation, contributing to its nimble handling. The front suspension, featuring a CARD VSTC 30mm USD fork, provides 210 mm (8.3 inches) of travel, soaking up bumps and obstacles with ease. Meanwhile, the rear suspension, equipped with a CARD piggyback shock, allows for customizable adjustments in rebound and compression, ensuring optimal performance tailored to individual rider preferences. With hydraulic disc brakes at both the front (160 mm) and rear (140 mm), the CX50 BW delivers reliable stopping power, crucial for maintaining control on the track. **
