I recently purchased a Trailmaster 200-MB-2. A local dealer (90 miles away) also had the new Trailmaster Hurricane in stock. Other than front disc brakes, they're the same. Paid $1,108 for the MB-200-2 and saved around $300 over the cost of the Hurricane. Just returned from AZ where I put the bike thru its paces and it performed better than I even expected. I ride thru the desert where there are mountains and foothills galore and it had no problems climbing. Those fat tires roll right over rocks and other obstacles with ease. I estimated it topped out around 35 mph, which is plenty fast for this guy, cause if you go down out here, you're gonna lose some serious flesh. Lol. Took my GoPro with me, but didn't want to waste time messing with filming. Maybe next year. Love your vids and ride on!

I agree, that single rear disc brake stops the TM Fast! I would not spend $300 more on a front brake, unless I was planning to build it up to do over 50mph.

The hurricane is now only 13. In my opinion it's worth the extra two hunny, there's times when you want that front brake, for sure. I plan to build on it but honestly it's great from standard. I may just leave this one alone for my son (he's 11 almost ready) and purchase another for myself and build that sucker up.

did you leave everything stock
@thehappyhermit01 Жыл бұрын
@@gordonhall9871 The only change I have made so far is replacing the stock muffler. I purchased a 60t sprocket and a longer chain but haven't installed them yet. I backed the throttle screw out, also. I'm only interested in improving low-end torque, so I won't be souping up the engine like many do. In the future, I will probably replace the stock engine with a Tillotson 212.

Great comparison. Would have liked to see both run over some harsh bumps. I like the slimmer/smaller profile of the Massimo, but the wheelbase seems a bit short and may have it picking up the front end on steep hill climbs. We ended up stretching our Coleman CT200UEX 6” to solve that problem.

The ability to use your legs to absorb shock, using properly placed pegs, mitigates a hard seat. Sadly, most minibike pegs are in cruise positions vs offroad positions. One advantage of the Trailmaster is that a peg relocation kit is easily obtainable.

Good day, Excellent video. I would like to get a Trailmaster. However, here in Canada, this maybe a challenge. The Coleman and Tao Motor minibikes are available here. Do you have any thoughts about the Tao Motor DB200? Thanks
@HowToLou Жыл бұрын
The Tao DB200 is the same as the Coleman RB200 and the RealTree RT200. I have not personally tried one, but I know several people who say they are great bikes with solid frames.

I think I would mention if you swapped the jackshaft for a TAV30 - the MB200S would give the MB200-2 a very hard time. Those can be had for 50-80 bucks and when you are talking a 380 dollar difference not including that I think it becomes an easier choice for new people. IF you are going to swap the motor soon and do a bunch of mods start with the Trailmaster, if you just wanna do a TAV for some speed then the MB200S would get my vote.

Thats the MB200 "s". I still think the original mb200 is a lot better. They cheaped out on a lot of stuff to make the 200s with suspension. I have the Trailmaster and the original mb200. Both have identical mods. The Trailmaster is about 10 mph slower because of its weight. It rides really nice but it's also a really heavy because of all the stuff.
@HowToLou Жыл бұрын
It all depends how much money you spend and what your end goals are. I agree the MB200 is a solid bike. Personally, I need rear suspension and the TM is my bike of choice. But that just me.
