Handling

• FRAME: Making sure the little MC 65 is super stable at speed yet amazingly agile through the turns is the bike's frame. Made from trusty chromium molybdenum steel, the chassis has been engineered to offer just the right amount of flex and features a geometry developed specifically for kids. Put simply, the MC 65 is an absolute dream to ride.
• SUBFRAME: Light, strong, durable. What else can we say about the subframe? Oh yeah, it's made using a combination of polyamide glass fiber and steel to create a hybrid construction that's built to last. It's also height adjustable which means that riders can have their bike set-up based on their height or preference.
• WP FORKS: Giving youngsters the performance they need, especially as they begin to pick up their speed, the WP XACT forks fitted to the MC 65 offer exceptional damping. With no less than 215mm of travel, the 35mm forks are more than capable of soaking up the biggest bumps to ensure the smoothest rides. And thanks to the air spring, it couldn't be easier to set the pressure for the perfect set-up.
• WP SHOCK: Our MC 65 may well be a little 2-stroke racer, but it's definitely big on featuring top-quality components such as the WP shock! Just like our big bikes, the shock is fully adjustable in terms of preload, rebound, and both high and low-speed compression. This means that that every youngster can ride with a perfect set-up to suit their size and style. Pretty cool, right?
• SWINGARM: The MC 65 boasts big-bike tech with its die-cast aluminum swingarm, designed in line with the frame's flex characteristics. And when conditions turn gnarly, the chain slider features a rounded profile to help the bike glide through the deepest of ruts.

Motor

• MOTOR: There's a lot to shout about when it comes to our MC 65 motor! For tighter tolerances around the crankshaft, the crankcases are machined after being manufactured, with the end result being no lost power. Beyond that, there's a close-ratio 6-speed transmission, hydraulic clutch, BRISK spark plug, and a Pressure Controlled Exhaust Valve that really makes this little bike sing!
• CYLINDER: Making power! The lightweight aluminum cylinder features a Pressure Controlled Exhaust Valve (PCEV) that delivers maximum performance throughout the entire rev-range. So, it goes without saying that youngsters racing the MC 65 will enjoy a clear advantage over their competition thanks to this cutting edge, 2-stroke technology.
• AIRBOX & FILTER: We get it. Changing air filters is boring (although it beats cleaning them!), so we've redesigned the airbox to make filter changes easier and faster by introducing a failproof snap-lock mounting design. There's also a new Twin Air filter with a larger surface area inside the airbox, which increases airflow into the motor. And you know what more air means - more power!
• EXHAUST: Built in the same way as our bigger 2-strokes, the exhaust system on the MC 65 has the welding seams on the inside removed for unrestricted performance. This ensures maximum power throughout the rev-range, while a tight seal between the front pipe and silencer ensures the gases keep flowing in the right direction.
• TRANMISSION: Strong steel makes for a super-durable transmission, and this one's been designed to make it super easy for riders to change gear. It also boasts proven ratios that help keep riders in the sweet spot of the power at all times for maximum forward momentum.
• CARBURETOR: Making sure the MC 65 performs perfectly and reliably are the jetting settings inside the 24mm MIKUNI carburetor, which make our little MC 65 run clean throughout its entire rev-range.
• DIAPHRAGM STEEL (DS) CLUTCH: Built to last! The Diaphragm Spring (DS) clutch inside the MC 65 is just another example of how much big-bike tech can be found on this little red racer. For unmatched durability, the DS clutch is housed inside a strong steel basket, and as the springs are constantly compensating for any wear, performance never falters. And with a hydraulic clutch system, the lever is light to pull in and guarantees fade-free performance at all times.

Parts

• BRAKES: Make no mistake, the MC 65 is fast! So, it goes without saying that it's fitted with high performance brakes. Floating calipers from Formula, together with a 198mm waved disc up front and a 180mm waved disc at the rear, allow riders to stay on the gas longer, brake later, and never miss their line through the turns.
• WHEELS & TIRES: Wrapped with MAXXIS MAXXCROSS MX-ST tires for maximum grip on the widest range of surfaces, the MC 65 rolls on lightweight and strong wheels with black anodized rims creating a super cool look.
• TRIPLE CLAMPS: Making sure the MC 65 is stable at speed and capable of carving tight lines through the turns are the forged triple clamps. Aligning the WP forks perfectly for unrestricted suspension performance, the triple clamps provide a calculated level of flex for maximum comfort and stability.
• RADIATORS: Two radiators, just like our full-size dirt bikes, keep the MC 65 running cool at all times. Well protected from any potential damage, the radiators are now connected using a simplified routing of the hoses, which allows coolant to flow in a much more efficient way to maximize both performance, and reliability.

Style

• BODYWORK: As you can see, the MC 65 certainly looks the business with it's bodywork! All red to really stand out from the crowd, it's not only vibrant, but with larger contact areas for riders to grip the bike with their legs, the new model let's riders do their thing with greater control. There's a flatter seat too which makes movement on the bike so much easier, especially for shorter riders.
• ADJUSTABLE ERGONOMICS: One really cool thing about the MC 65 is that it can be adjusted in size to suit so many riders. The bodywork and subframe can be fitted in either a high or low position, as can the WP shock, while the handlebars can be installed in no fewer than four different ways!
• HANDLEBARS: The modern bend of the handlebars helps kids ride with a perfect technique. The bars are fitted with slim-profile ODI grips to create an ideal set-up that benefits all young riders by maximizing comfort and helping to reduce fatigue.
