Apollo RFZ 250cc Thunder Adult Dirt Bike, 35.8-inch seat height, 5 speed manual Trans, Electric Start

All new designs from the Apollo dirt bike family.  The lighter weight and new frame design with extended forks make this the most responsive 250 in this category.  Inverted front forks, extended trailing arm rear end, and upgraded shocks make this the best-handling dirt bike Apollo has ever made.

Featuring a Mikuni-style adjustable carb and a tuned exhaust this bike gets the most out of the 229cc air-cooled engine without making the upgrades some of the cheaper bikes demand. 

An improved power-to-weight ratio with an extended trailing arm makes this bike perform in the dirt better than any of the previous outstanding Apollo dirt bikes. 

Compare to Trail Master TM 36, TM 37, TM39, TM31

 CA customers: this item is NOT CARB approved, but you may use on your private land.
