This unit combines decent quality, reasonable price, the use of innovative technologies, and spectacular design. The motorcycles in question from China are assembled partially in Russia. In their production, original components are used, as well as domestic, Japanese and Taiwanese spare parts. This model can be safely called a Chinese brainchild in a Japanese "suit".

Features of domestic assembly

In Russia, Racer Ranger RC200 GY8 motorcycles are assembled using several conveyors. The main elements of the vehicle are completed exclusively with the participation of high-class specialists. Given some shortcomings, it is difficult to argue that motorcycles from China are superior to Japanese modifications. But at a price they are much more affordable.

The company presents the buyers of this bike with the optimal warranty period. The cross-country models under consideration meet all the required standards and consumer demands. This "racer" has external aggressiveness, dynamics, thoughtful design - everything that is required from a realmotocross bike.

Chain transmission (shortcomings and room for improvement)

When buying a new motorcycle of the brand in question, you should pay attention to its internal equipment. Some improvements make the unit more maneuverable and stable. Replacing the carburetor and adjusting the valve mechanism makes it possible to make the bike work with optimal parameters, like the Japanese counterpart.

The chain for the Racer motorcycle is a separate topic for conversation. When experimenting with replacing stars, you need to pay attention to the fact that native elements are marked with an index from 41 to 51. The item does not fit on the front part at 18. The best option is a 17 chainring. Adjusting the rear elements shows that a 41 chainring allows you to increase speed. As a result, traction is lost. Number 45 has good speed and traction.

You can order a chain for a motorcycle with new characteristics via the Internet. According to user reviews, the native element does not perform well (it breaks, quickly stretches and wears out).

Test drive "Racer Ranger 200"

Checking the Racer Ranger 200 in action, it can be noted that there is good engine thrust, the gear shifts well (one up, two down). Despite the not very high power for a "crossover", the lack of horses is not felt, unless, of course, you plan to participate in professional races on it.

This bike is ideal for touring and extreme travel. The equipment is quite high with good ground clearance, the steering wheel is conveniently located, the seat is not slippery and comfortable. Rear-view mirrors allow you to control traffic on the track. Driving the Racer Ranger RC200 GY8 proved to be excellent. On a slippery road or on grass, when you lose stability,the unit is easy to level. On dry pavement, the bike corners well in both normal and low entry.

Motorcycle walker and mechanics

Passenger and driver's footpegs are comfortable, thoughtfully located. On them, the legs do not slip, do not interfere with landing and control. The rear elements, if necessary, fold, have protection against accidental hitting the foot in the chain or wheel. The review of the motorcycle showed that with a soft ride it is informative and stable. On the bumps. The suspension performed superbly at a test speed of 70 km/h.

There are some complaints about the unit, but given its Chinese origin and price, this is a great option. I am very pleased with the work of the suspension in general and the travel of the fork, shock absorbers in particular. On the sand, of course, the bike in question is inferior to its counterparts, but this is not surprising. It is hardly designed to take part in a rally like Paris-Dakar.

Features of operation and maintenance

The start of the motorcycle is carried out by pressing a button, which is very convenient. For those who like to test the battery for energy intensity, there is a kickstarter. To the brakes, after a short getting used to, there are no complaints. The activation of the front brake system does not lead to a sharp stop and folding of the fork, it remains possible to control the motorcycle.

The mass of the unit is not small, but quite acceptable for this class. The Racer Ranger 200, whose characteristics are as close as possible to the cross-country version, is perfect for fishing trips, hunting or short-distance travel. Stockfuel of 14 liters allows you to overcome without additional refueling up to five hundred kilometers. The price of the motorcycle in question starts from 78 thousand rubles.
