We are super excited to share our thoughts and first impressions of this new model from X-Rider, X-Rider Sagittarius (CRS). CRS standing for Cross Racer Sagittarius. We thought it was a fitting name, given this bike was closely based and designed off the well known and loved HONDA CRF-250R Motor cross bike.
After spending just over a week testing and exploring the bike inside and out, we have been nothing short of impressed and blown away with what X-Rider have produced.
This project started in 2018 and while there have been many setbacks and delays along the way, the team has pushed forward to bring us one of the most scale looking, true to life RC MX Bikes we have ever seen.
Along with the best scale looks , the bike handles and performs amazingly. We have truly had a blast testing it and working on it. Stable and easy to use for users of any skill level.
Photos and video can only show so much, in the flesh this kit is a work of art, you can really appreciate the size and scale details from the front to the back of the bike. The designers have focused on true scale sizing from the wheels to the body work and rider, including the dual front and rear working mechanical disc brakes.
Over the coming weeks we will bring you more video, a closer look under the body and of course - we will compare it to the Losi Promoto 1:4 Bike, also new to market.
Please comment with any questions, thoughts on the bike and we will do our best to answer them for you.
Here's some first inpressions and a short clip of the bike in action.
Have only had a couple of opportunites to get the bike on the track for some testing. Some footage of our very first laps, both bike and track are new to us, so it can only improve from this.
