| Pitster Pro - We could go on for days about how much we love Pitster Pro, but we'll try to limit it to a paragraph. Pitster has been around since the beginning and has always had "top quality" on its mind. In the early years (in our opinion) the Pitster Bikes were less than desirable but Pitster was committed to quality and being a step ahead and quickly became the number 1 Pit Bike Company out of China. They have a reputation for having race ready bikes out of the crate. We love Pitster because of how they crate their bikes, they are the best packaged bikes in the industry in our opinion. We also love the fact we almost NEVER have to file a warranty claim on their products. If we do have to file a claim, Pitster is all over making things right which confirms their willingness to provide great products and service. Thumps up to Pitster!
A Note from Pitster Pro.....
"Remember when pit bikes were minis? Well we decided to bring the mini back to its roots. The new XJR Dirt is built for the Kid and the Kid at heart. With an affordable price tag the XJR comes with a 90cc four-stroke engine featuring a 3 speed semi auto clutch, adjustable seat height, and disc brakes. This is the mini that grows with the rider, an adjustable seat height from 23 to 27 inches allows the rider of an XJR more tunable comfort and makes a perfect machine for riders of all size and ages."
A Review from Killer Motorsports Owner - Mike Smith
I must say when I first saw the retail prices for the 08 series I was a little worried the bikes were overpriced from Pitster. I can now say that they are probably under priced. If it is one thing I'll say about Pitster is head hancho, Gary Goodwin, has his “you know what” together. Sure their bikes come out of China but if you were to uncrate one of their bikes you would never know it. I have been to China multiple times, helped companies improve and create new bikes, and built many custom bikes. I know crap when I see it and I know quality when I see it. Gary doesn't just build a bike; he builds these bikes to be race ready out of the crate. It is obvious that Pitster has it together. The 07 to 08 line up has so many improvements. When we took the boxes off the 08 line up to expose the bikes in the metal crates, we were blown away. These were the best packaged bikes I had ever seen! They were mounted up in such a way you could probably drop the crate off a 3 story building and nothing would happen to the bike. As we took the bikes out of the crates and started to assemble them me and my employees were just drooling over how each part on the Pitster bikes were so meticulously placed, color coded, etc. As one of my employees said it “these bikes were born for dirt”. As we uncrated the bikes there were so many things Pitster included in the box that shows they really do know what they are doing. A great little tool kit, tons of Pitster stickers ( you know everyone loves stickers ), and RED LOCK TIGHT!!!!!!!! Not that I think the Pitster bikes need the lock tight, but every bike should have its bolts gone over. If you don't want to get something crap and don't want to spend 8K on a BBR Bike, then Pitster is the way to go, end of story.
This little XRJ90 is probably one of the most exciting bikes I've ever had the opportunity to ride. Now I've ridden probably hundreds of bikes, not only in the US but when I am testing product in China . I've ridden 15K pit bikes to $150 dollar pit bikes. I am pretty partial to the smaller pit bikes that still have some pep. The great thing about the XRJ90 is that it is something a smaller rider can ride but also something an adult rider can ride. Now I'm 180lbs, about 5'10” ( your average joe shmo ) and ride a fully custom Takegawa 178cc +R Pit Bike that has close to $7,000 in it. Needless to say it takes a lot to impress me when it comes to doing pit bike reviews. The great thing I love about this bike is that when I get on it, it is comfortable. The two tone seat not only looks great, but its nice to sit on. Most Chinese pit bikes have crappy suspension setup but the XJR has a plush front end for most of your average adult riding and a sweet little DMN shock for the rear. It's not a RaceTech or Elka shock, but DMN is a great mid range shock for most riders wanting the in between shock. If you are going to be riding, make sure you have your shoes on! The pegs were a little to “sharp” for me, but if you are going to be racing they will definitely keep your boot on the pegs. The bike had a lot of top end but the low end was kinda dragging. I think it may just need to go up a size on the Main Jet and that would probably fix the small bog I was seeing. I always recommend an inner rotor kit on almost any pit bike we sell. If you put one on this bike it would open it up into a whole new machine. Of course this should probably only be for the adult riders. Anyone probably under the age of about 13 won't even want more power. So really I wouldn't change much. My wife rides a little Custom CRF50 and if she ever wants another bike I would probably put her on the XJR. Mostly because of how it sits, handles, and rides.
I hope you enjoyed my review! If you have any questions on the bike feel free to call and talk to me! If you are around the DFW area, come into the shop and we'll take you down to our Private Track and let you ride before you buy!
