XT 225

The XT225 is a street legal, dual-purpose bike, one of only two in the line up. It was built for those who want a versatile on/off-road machine that's easy on the pocket book, and easy to handle. A reliable 4-stroke engine puts out strong, predictable power across the entire RPM range for good on- and off-road performance, while electric start provides hassle-free, reliable starting. Wide-ratio 6-speed transmission and manual clutch helps in providing performance for a wide range of terrain and conditions.

The low seat height of 31.9" creates a low center of gravity for added maneuverability and inspires confidence by allowing most riders to put a foot down when stopped. The XT225 is also one of the lightest, most compact machines in the category.

Engine:

• Reliable, 223cc, air-cooled 4-stroke engine puts out strong, predictable pull across the entire RPM range for on- and off- road performance.
  
• Two-valve cylinder head design uses two spark plugs per Ceramic composite cylinder electroplating helps dissipate heat more efficiently, increasing both performance and durability.
  
• Internal engine counterbalancer reduces vibrations to keep ride quality and comfort at its best.
  
• Wide-ratio 6-speed transmission and manual clutch keeps the rider in the fat of the powerband for maximum power and performance in a wide range of terrain and conditions.
  
• Hassle-free, push-button electric starting adds extra convenience and reliability.
  
• Engine is mounted high in the frame to provide 11.2" of ground clearance.
  
• Automatic cam chain tensioner.

Chassis/Suspension:
