Ideal for tight trails or competitive racing, the Pirat LC embodies the spirit of fun and freedom inherent in minibiking. At the heart of the Pirat LC lies a robust 49.80 ccm single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating 12 HP at an impressive 14,500 RPM. The high compression ratio of 15.5:1 allows for quick acceleration, while the Dell'orto PHBG 19 carburettor ensures smooth fuel delivery.

The Pirat LC is equipped with a sophisticated chassis and suspension system designed to enhance performance and rider comfort. The front boasts a 180 mm disc brake, paired with a hydraulic master cylinder and caliper for precise stopping power, while the rear features a hydraulic foot brake for seamless control. Its Magnum 32mm hydraulic telescopic fork in the front and a special racing gas-operated shock absorber in the rear deliver a smooth ride over uneven terrain. For added versatility, the seat height can be adjusted to a low 690 mm (27.2 inches), accommodating riders of various sizes. With a fuel capacity of 3.50 liters (0.92 gallons), the Pirat LC is ready for a day full of adventure. **
