Let’s start with the little pest of the house, the XE125, completely renewed starting from the engine, a two-stroke single cylinder that derives from the 2021 junior world champion cross engine. Obviously it keeps the Euro 5 homologation, but thanks to the redesign of the piston, cylinder , connecting rod and the adoption of a new Keihin PowerJet 38mm carburetor and a new expansion exhaust signed by Arrow, it becomes even more usable throughout the delivery range, enhancing the grit at high revs without giving up full and full-bodied bass . Careful flushing checks and studies on the track with the official drivers have allowed the engineers to redesign the air box as well. The rear side panels are also new, all to the benefit of ergonomics, while from a cycling point of view the XE125 combines a lightweight aluminum frame with ultra-adjustable Kayaba suspension, an Sss fork, Speed ​​Sensitive System, with 48mm pressurized closed cartridge with 300mm of travel and a mono with 315mm of wheel travel. Finally, there are two maps available for delivery, Soft And Hard, to adapt to any type of terrain and any type of … handle. The price? 8,990.00 euros VAT included.

Let’s move on to the four-stroke, that is to say the XEF in the 250cc and 450cc versions. It starts from a common platform, declined to adapt to the standards imposed by the E1 and E2 categories: the frame is the same, an aluminum chassis that is made up of forged, extruded and molded parts and also the suspensions are the same. Here too we find a 48mm pressurized closed cartridge Kayaba Sss fork with 315mm travel and a monoshock of the same brand with 315 mm of wheel travel, both fully adjustable. Ergonomic changes have also been made on the 4T, equipped as standard with handguards and a sturdy paramotor. As on the little sister, an Arrow exhaust with aluminum terminal has been adopted. Unlike the 125, however, the XEF250 and XEF450 offer the opportunity to manage the ECU mappings with the app. Wiget: with a click from the smartphone you can choose the ideal engine setups for each type of condition, read the bike hour meter, add service notes, read the diagnostics and view the engine data in real time. The retail price is € 9,990.00 for the XEF250 and € 11,490.00 for the XEF450.
