Overview

Introducing the 2016 CPI SX 50, a dynamic entry into the super motard category that embodies the spirit of youthful adventure and agility. Priced at approximately €3,099, depending on local taxes and accessories, this motorcycle is designed for those who crave the thrill of urban riding combined with the versatility to tackle various terrains. With its eye-catching color options of red, white, and silver, the SX 50 isn’t just a mode of transport—it’s a statement on two wheels. At the heart of the SX 50 is a punchy 49.90cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers exhilarating performance for both novice and experienced riders alike. With a compression ratio of 11.5:1 and a sophisticated electronic CDI ignition system, the engine promises quick throttle response and spirited acceleration. The 6-speed gearbox allows for seamless gear shifts, ensuring that riders can maintain optimal performance whether navigating city streets or open roads. The liquid cooling system helps maintain engine efficiency, making the SX 50 an excellent choice for those who demand reliability and excitement in equal measure. The SX 50 is packed with features that enhance both safety and ride comfort. Its robust steel beam frame provides a solid foundation, while the 40mm hydraulic front fork and hydraulic monoshock rear suspension work in tandem to offer an impressive front travel of 195mm and rear travel of 180mm. The braking system is equally noteworthy, featuring a 300mm stainless steel disc up front and a 180mm disc at the rear, ensuring responsive stopping power in various riding conditions. Additionally, with a seat height of 830mm, the SX 50 strikes a balance between accessibility and a sporty riding position, making it suitable for a wide range of riders. **

Pros

  • Agile Handling: The lightweight design and responsive suspension allow for nimble maneuvering, perfect for urban environments and twisty roads.
  • Performance-Oriented Engine: The powerful two-stroke engine provides exhilarating acceleration, ideal for those looking to experience thrill in every ride.
  • Stylish Design: The attractive color options and sporty aesthetics make the SX 50 stand out in a crowd.

Cons

  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a fuel tank capacity of only 7.00 liters (1.85 gallons), longer rides may require more frequent stops for refueling.
  • Kick Start Only: The traditional kick start may be less convenient for some riders, especially in urban settings where quick starts are essential.
  • Two-Stroke Maintenance: Being a two-stroke engine, it may require more regular maintenance compared to four-stroke counterparts, which could be a consideration for less experienced riders.
