What is a knock-off bike?

• A knock-off bike is one that is designed and engineered to resemble an existing popular OEM bike. The bikes we sell are knock-offs of the Honda CRF50. The frame dimensions and the geometry are very similar to the bike that is being "knocked-off". In fact, about 95% of the parts made for a stock OEM Honda CRF50 will fit a well-made knock-off bike. Even the motor was designed to integrate seamlessly into a stock CRF50 frame, and the parts are mostly compatible as well.

Why are knock-offs bikes so cheap?

• One reason is that typically, the cost of a bike reflects the cost of Research and Development. The bikes being knocked off have already been developed, so the tweak the design just ever so slightly, thus being able to focus on producing the product rather than spending time and money on R&D. Another reason they are so cheap is that the factories in China are set up to do huge production runs at very little cost.

What are the advantages of buying a  knock-off bike?

• Quite frankly, in most cases, the bikes just are good quality. But you have to be careful when you are looking for a pit bike. If you look closely, some of the metals they use and the quality of welding is sometimes poor. But, that's why you came to the right place, because we look at the details that go into the making of a quality bike and are confident that the products we sell meet the highest standards.
