Amazon Ultra light dual sport X Pro Storm 150 DLX trail ride review

I have been looking for a light weight street /Trail dual sport dirt bike for awhile, saw many different brands of pit bikes available on Amazon and other websites Cheap / Affordable) there’s many different brands Tao Tao, Apollo, Trailmaster. I bought this mini adventure dual sport bike, it’s the X Pro Storm 150cc DLX. Because they are Amazon bikes I was really apprehensive to order one. After riding It a bit i think its going to be a fairly good bike. This video covers some trail riding and a review.

They all need a bigger cam and a real Mikuni carb to be as responsive as I like them! I did this with my Tao 140 and it's infinitely better. Btw, I'm 200lbs

Where did you get the cam I have a apollo z20? Although future I'm thinking of a 190 swap

[@charlesharalson487]

Granted this is not your main content (it appears), this is the best of its kind content. Great quality audio/picture. Awesome commentary with proper cutting in your editing process. I havent found many trail riders on here yet, but so far your content hits all the marks for me. I like your style. Also, just picked up a Storm 150 myself (enduro with a nibbi already installed). Being that i have been a street rider for years I cannot imagine trying to ride this 150cc around. Though i bet it is a very chill ride thats for sure. On the trails it is 100% perfect for light and flickability. Plenty power to have fun with being experienced or someone looking to learn. Esoecially being chinese it gives you plenty opportunity to learn your own mechanics before you go Japanese and start being gouged on repair bills. I raced in my younger teen years, and eventually picked up a sport bike (something about being the fastest on a track is beautiful). But i am retiring from street riding due to the off chance i am altered for life because of someones netflix show dropping a plot twist. Glad i came across your video here. Solidified my confidence in what this bike would do for me. Cant wait to try some competitive stuff down the road, but for now and always this thing will probably be my go to for riding with my family.

[@Mikefestiva]

Hey man thanks for checking out my videos! Yes I wanted to get one of these bikes and mod it a little and see how it holds up on the trails, so far it’s been a blast 😊👍 Have fun on out on your Storm!

These Chinese bikes have come a long way. I'm still over its weight limit, but I could probably putt around on it. Seems like a bargain! I used to ride with guys as good as you when I was a youngster, I kept up okay most of the time, but by the time I sold my bikes they would be 40% zip ties from all the s**t I ate 😂

I’m looking forward to the rest of your videos on the DLX 150. I’ve been riding motorcycles all of my life and have gotten into Chinabikes the last 10 years or so. I have a Hawk 250 that is heavily modded. This little guy looks like the perfect offroad/trail bike for me being that I’m 49, have some arthritis going on, and need a lighter bike for my 160lb frame. Great video!

Wow... Can't believe im saying this but this vid kinda makes me regret my recent purchase of my 83 XL185s. Love the XL dont get me wrong, its a gem and it rips, but a fully complete bike for the price of the x-pro is pretty darn awesome with turn signals and all. No need to order ebay parts, waiting weeks for delivery and working on the bike for hours after long days at work to get it running and working right. Just assemble, gas, oil and hit the streets/trails for a great price. Love it!

[@erika9664]

Love the video! You still gonna do the performance mod video for the bike? I am interested in getting one as an upgrade for the Colemon mini bikes. So waiting for your performance / upgrade tweak recommendations.

[@MichaelDavidsonSLC]

Great video Mike! You've got some experianced riding skills. The bike sounds like its running pretty good out of the box. What elevation are you rinding at? Did you get documentation with the bike for maintenance/valve clearance? It would be interesting to see if the valves are in spec. Like you I'm really looking for something light for trails. I've been leaning toward the templar M but thats another 100 lbs and $650. This has got me rethinking.... Happy New Year!

[@quarlow1215]

Great video! You’re one heck of a rider, good job. I wonder if one of these could survive the TAT, coast to coast. Maybe the 250 would be a better choice?

[@darrenmackenzie1645]

Great test video. You could get a spring for the shock that can handle more weight for the bottom out problem ?

[@loranzobaker7293]

Thats cool, I’ve rode motorcycles. Love the groms. Always wanted to ride a dirt bike but my problem is im 5’ 7” but having some thyroid issues so im a little over 200 pounds.

[@Mikefestiva]

Hey I think you will be interested in my Templar 250 review, I should have it out in a week or two, it fits me really well 👍

[@trevorjameson3213]

That's what I love about the small bikes, they're so easy to handle on tight trails. I have a DRZ-125L and it's a blast on trails like that. I used to have an XR250R and it was of course much better on rough terrain, but it was so dang tall and heavy I was having problems handling it in the really tight situations. But I did watch your video on the chinese 250 you got, and that one looks like a nice bike, not too tall.

[@user-up7yn2kn6u]

how tall are you thinking about getting one and I'm 5'2 (right now not getting one till may) and also how easy is it to learn how to ride a dirt bike? Like with switching gears and stuff.

[@ocoutdoors2355]

Some of the newer Chinese, direct to consumer bikes offer a lot. I learned to ride on a '87XR250R and absolutely love that bike. For me, the best bike would be a modern XR250R with e start and kick start, skinny steel frame, low/narrow seat, enough charging for lights, inverted forks, reservoir shock, disc f/r, 21"/18" wheels, LED bulbs and a good carb.

[@Stickmister360]

I am highly considering buying one of these. I've got a klr650 but being 5'6 and the bike being over 500lbs with gear strapped to it I'm stuck to logging roads and fire roads, I've tried single track with the klr and it is miserable. It's crazy to me how cheap you can go and still get out there with little to no fuss. I was considering getting an xr100, then I came across this bike. I have dealers in my area that sell these along with all the other chinese bikes. I do a lot of overland camping, I think this would would make a great tool to have on the trail for scouting and to practice some shenanigans on.

[@Soeks77]

the weight of the bike to the displacment of the engine is def a selling point, the shift pattern is definitly a little weird, but I wouldn’t think you’d be going into first too often while riding fast

[@TheHomePros6221]

Your a very good rider mike! I’m really interested in getting this bike now after watching you ride but I bought a brand new Apollo volt 125 and that thing was the biggest piece of garbage and the spokes on both front and rear tires all came loose and popped the tire and literally fell apart all under 50 miles on the bike so I’m really iffy with these Chinese bikes but yours seems much better. Great vid I wanna get out and ride now!

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video! Well time will definitely tell how well it holds up. So far it’s been great but let me get 500 plus miles on it and I will let you know how well it’s been. That’s a bummer about your Apollo bike. I did order a spoke wrench kit to check the spokes, new wheels tend to need some spoke tensioning. Take care and hopefully I can do a 500 mile review before spring, this winter has been really mild so hopefully I can keep getting out on the bike 😊👍

[@thedakotakid74]

If you can turn your own wrenches, these bikes are great. Stop by Chinariders, and you will learn a lot about these bikes. I love my 200cc for riding around the ranch, trails, gravel roads, etc. It is not a bike for jumps :) A few things that helped mine: Change fork oil (heavier weight and preload spacer), better tubes/tires (harder sidewalls), adjust the valves (if they are set right, they are a one kick start), adjust carb or swap it out (yours actually seems good, most are too lean out of the box). Enjoy the ride!

[@DirtyDiezel]

my yz125 is 250lbs that's why I bought this is for trail use with low weight! Easy to control for sure

[@Mikefestiva]

Right on man! I’m glad you two are enjoying your bikes 😊 I think that full auto is interesting I really don’t know anything about them and how they work internally? Maybe I will see both of you up there sometime soon 👍

[@frankreinhardt441]

I have a old 1975 Honda ST90 that I absolutely love riding the trails here in Idaho. Its not fast and doesnt have much power but is a blast to ride. I am really thinking about buying this bike so I am not beating up my old classic. This bike looks like the perfect little trail bike for what I like to do.

[@Mikefestiva]

The size and weight is perfect for tight trails, the power is good for a 150cc as well. Definitely good value, lots of fun 😊👍

[@CarelessKingdom]

I love my X Pro Hawk X 250 (which I have a load of videos on), but I'm seriously considering picking this bike up with my 260lbs butt just for the size of it and ability to do single track a bit better. I was 250 riding a ttr125 so I know about what to expect power wise. Very interested in tinkering with that GY6 150 on it though

[@markbrunner8004]

Hi Mike, great video. I like many out here are, (for good reasons),skeptical about the China bikes. This one seems to be o g a better build quality than most. I'd like to see a six month or even a one year / multi-mile long term ownership video in the coming year. Just to see whats what with this brand.

[@oregontrailrider]

The xcw200 will be for sale soon...😂. Nice review Mike, and you will like the regular templar.

Hey man it’s good to see you here! I just got the Templar plated last week and have been really enjoying it so far. Definitely looking forward to getting it out on the trails more. I’m giving you a shout out on the Templar video I’m making. I will also put a link in my videos description to your YT channel, besides your channel and one other channel, I really couldn’t find much info on the Templar 250. Maybe sometime next summer I can get down to Oregon to ride 👍

Thanks for checking out my videos! Yes I still really like this bike. I’m in the process of making a video on some upgrades I think will make the bike work better for my needs. Definitely pretty fun right out of the crate, but I have a few things I would like to change. I should have that video up in about a month. Hope you have been enjoying you dirt bike 😊👍

Looks like it might fit in to a mini van ?That would make traveling real fun .

[@Mikefestiva]

[@chrisss73841]

If you like lightweight machines, you should keep an eye out for a good deal on an eMTB. You won't have the power of a 125cc or 150cc, but they weigh less than 70lbs and can be more versatile as far as what trails you can ride, or taking them in the truck for a camping trip.

Got my red DLX Storm 150 recently, really enjoyed your review and am following this build very closely. The OE chain is garbage, but the bike seems ok so far, and is really fun. I haven't tried to register it yet here in Oregon, but fingers crossed. I'm 5'9 and 200 pounds, absolute novice and the bike is the perfect size and weight. I definitely want to lace up some alloys for weight and strength... hoping you find a set of rims that reuse the same spokes! The modular motor is a big plus too. I am likely going to play with the needle position but would be very interested to see how the Nibbi performs... A video on a 22mm vs 24mm would be very interesting (wink wink)... Do you think the Nibbi pit bike intake will fit this bike? I randomly also have a lightly modded BT200x and appreciate the flux-core MIG videos. (have you welded up any fence, gates or railing?). Thanks for the links to the goggles, chain and handguards, looking forward to using them. Keep up the great work sir!!

I'm looking at the Trailmaster TM31. Same general size as the Templar 250, but it has a 230cc engine. 16hp for the 230 vs 19hp for the 250. It has a 2 gallon tank and should sip a little less fuel.

[@Mikefestiva]

I was looking at the Trailmaster bikes as well then decided on the Templar. I got a little TM15 for a B day present for my son and he loves it, seems pretty good quality as well 👍 there’s a lot of good bikes available from these companies. I should have my Review of the Templar out soon, it may give you an idea of what to expect from the TM 31

[@terryfromsouthcarolina4601]

Well I got a bit of news from South Carolina. I pretty much got shut down on getting the bike street legal. The first place I tried was the local DMV. I got the standard, " If it comes into the country off road use only that's what it is." I tried pressing a little but the lady started to call a supervisor so I beat a hasty but pleasant retreat. The next was a "big bike" store. This guy was even less helpful. "So basically you want us to lie," he says. Hmmm. If you don't buy a bike from us.... Then I went to the local store that sold scooters and mopeds. He said that they had been able to do things like that in the past but the growing trend with the little mini trucks (that aren't street legal in South Carolina) that the scrutiny has become pretty tight. The problem is that in order to be street legal they have to meet the federal emissions standards. Too much shady stuff lately. He did say to hunt around for a small street legal bike around the same size and just swap the tag and go. Only when you get your motorcycle drivers license will they check the VIN. If you do get stopped just say you got the tag mixed up as you have several bikes. Take the ticket to court along with the bike title it belongs to and the ticket should get tossed. Cops don't like the little bikes much but seldom want to bend down and scrutinize the numbers. The distaste for little bikes stems from the use of mopeds by the local alcoholics who have lost their licenses. We call them "likker-sikkles (liquor cycles)". They are only allowed to go 25 to 30 mph but are always being modified to go faster. Still they are too slow for most streets and cause a lot of anxiety with the rest of the motoring public much less the cops that really have better things to do than haul in drunks on mopeds. All is not lost though. There should be areas out of my very city centric area that may be willing to help out a bit more. You could always have an "acquaintance" buy the bike in a state like yours and then sell it to you with a solid title. So that's where I got with the certification of the title. Folks are a bit stiff collared around this very populated area of South Carolina. Cheers Terry

[@williamzoom]

They pass federal emissions laws California has their own standard & these bikes don't pass their standard but can be sold in every other state!

[@terryfromsouthcarolina4601]

You may get a different response than I did. I live in the Greer area so that was where my effort was made. Maybe you have some friends that can give some advice as to whom to talk to. I knew the dealer was a bust, why would they cretify a bike ghey didnt sell? Maybe if you bought a bike from them like they wanted​ you wouldnt have to do all this. I didnt expect much. The guy that sold the mopeds and scooters was real nervous so if you know someone give it a try. I hope you get a cool ride. @Gravel_Ridge_4wd

Man! I just checked. These aren’t legal for road use in California :( super sad… this bike looks perfect for the type of riding I like to do.

I just bought the same one its really good but have trouble finding racing parts for it please help me

I bought a Orion 150 dual sport. The big weak spot was the wheels. The spokes ripped out of the rim. I definitely did slack on making sure they were tight. Especially right out of the box. After a few rides I found out they were really loose.

[@Mikefestiva]

That’s a bummer man. I ordered a spoke wrench kit and went over mine after the first few rides, I’m definitely going to be checking them again soon. Thanks for the heads up.

Great vid Mike. How's this compare to the Coleman offroad?

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my videos! Well as much as I enjoy the Coleman it’s a mini bike and beats you up to ride faster and really can’t compare to this. This bike rips pretty well on the trails. Not a power house but plenty of grunt to have a good day on the trails. 😊👍

Would it be possible to see you take it out on a street ride or ride it to a trail I'm considering getting one for street or dirt rides but I can't find any videos of people taking them on the street idk the top speed how it is on the road or anything I'm considering this or the new Honda rx 150l but want to save as much as possible plleeeeaaaaaasssssseee🙏

[@MinisodaMotoventures]

[@DriftingVoid]

Hello you think there’s a way to get this here in cali? Would I have to get it shipped to AZ then pick it up from there?

[@stevenpelayo9418]

Let me know next time. I’ll explore FH with you anytime.

[@Mikefestiva]

Definitely will 😊
