Off-road temptation: lightweight Chinese enduro Kayo T4

Many motorcyclists treat inexpensive Chinese bikes as a budget toy that they can ride in the countryside, and, hand on heart, we must admit that just ten years ago this was the case. But the Chinese motorcycle industry does not stand still; companies from the Middle Kingdom are improving their creations year after year, the modern representatives of which can really give many pleasant moments for a very modest amount. The Kayo T4 250 Enduro is a prime example of this. Decent technical characteristics at a reasonable price - what more do you need?

What engine does the kayo t2 have?

I think this should have been done a long time ago, because very often the same questions are asked.
Write in the comments what needs to be added here 1) Differences between Kayo T2 and T2 Super

Kayo T2 Super is a T2 model, but intended for additional access, released in 2014 (with all the consequences of this) Differences from Kayo T2: -mirrors -turn signals -instrument panel -brake light and rear wing under the state number -presence of a vehicle title -presence of passenger footrests -chain protection (cover on top) -shock absorber covers -horn -enduro tires -trunk -slightly different stickers

2) Maximum speed Kayo T2 Super (21\18)

Around 120 km/h on original enduro tires

You need a license for T2 Super because... it has a PTS and is subject to mandatory registration. There should be no problems with registration.

4) Main problems.

The rims are not very strong, the bolts securing the sprocket to the wheel hub were poorly tightened from the factory (and as a result, the destruction of the hub and the cutting of the bolts), there were cases of failure of the rear brakes, and the stock steering wheel is not the most durable. There have been cases of electric starter failure. The teeth on the intermediate gear (which is located between the electric starter itself and the overrunning clutch) broke off. There have been cases of similar breakdowns on the overrunning clutch itself. 5) What needs to be done after purchase?

Stretch all the bolts (place the responsible ones on the blue thread lock, if desired), change the oil (since some kind of transport liquid was probably filled in at the factory), I think it would not be superfluous to replace the brake fluid (IMHO), replace the chain (the original one stretches a lot ), impregnate the air filter with special impregnation. I would also advise you to remove the fork protection (plas) and at the bottom (in the black mount) find small countersunk screws for a hexagon. Tighten them well, or even put them on blue thread locker. There were cases when, because of them, the fork leg was unscrewed from the black fastener and the thread on the fork was torn off, or oil leaked.

6) What is the stock chain price?

KMS 520 (106 links)

7) Differences in muffler models T2 and T2 Super

There is a kind of plug installed inside the T2 Super muffler, the purpose of which is most likely to reduce the exhaust noise level (since the motorcycle is designed for additional exhaust)

The main advantages of these models:

1) powerful engine 2) adjustable suspension 3) LED turn signals and brake light (T2 Super) 4) electronic instrument panel (T2 Super) 5) lightweight 6) presence of PTS (T2 Super) 7) two-seater (T2 Super) nice design 9 ) exhaust sound 10) soft plastic

10) Main differences between Kayo T2\T4\T6 models

T4 (unlike T2) has aluminum wheels, Fast Ace suspension (Taiwan) T6 (unlike T4) has a more powerful engine (with a liquid cooling system and 4 valves), no lights

11) What are the stock wheel sizes?

Kayo T2: 80/100/21 and 100/90/18 (21\18″)

Kayo T2 Super: 2.75-21\4.10-18 (Yuanxing) (21\18″) Noticeably worn out over the season (by about 60-70%) at 70% asphalt\30% earth\soil. Mileage 6200km.

12) What does the dashboard show?

Kauo T2: engine speed (tachometer) and number of hours (motorcycle hour meter)

Kayo T2 Super: Speed ​​(in km/h and mph), revolutions (tachometer), total mileage, daily mileage. There are also indicators for left and right turn signals, neutral and high beams on. There is a constant blue backlight.

Design

The motorcycle looks sporty and stylish. The design is quite aggressive, made in KAYO’s signature colors (white, red and black). You can also buy brighter stickers for the feather guards and headlights (a set costs from 2,300 rubles).

Among the interesting features, it is worth noting the presence of engine and underbody protection. There are also hand pads (plastic red guards on the handles). As for optics, the KAYO T2 250 has simple headlights with fairings. The instrument panel is small in size. The display shows an hour meter and a tachometer.

The model is easy to customize: you can install different spare parts, for example, change the rear wing in 5 minutes. It is also possible to remove the disks and wheels from KAYO yourself and install a tracked module instead (it costs around 60,000 rubles). This is how you convert a pit bike into a simple single-track snowmobile.

Specifications

The bike belongs to the category of sports equipment and does not require a driver's license - but only if it is used off-road and participates in cross-competitions. The motorcycle is sold without title.

Engine

Numerous test drives have proven that the ZONGSHEN ZS169FMM motor can pull a motorcycle out of the thickest mud at any speed. The most convenient way is from the left remote control button on the handle. If suddenly it does not start this way, then it is possible to start the engine in the traditional way - from the foot via a kickstarter.

There is no air damper. Instead, enrichment occurs from the float chamber channel, access to which is opened by lifting the conical needle GX 250 FB71.

Tips for choosing

You can choose a really high-quality model, taking into account our tips and recommendations. It is useful to know the classification of motorcycles and their characteristics, then it is important to be able to choose a vehicle to suit your needs.

Classification:

1. Hard – this class is suitable for more professional drivers. Motorcycles of this type have lower weight and good strong parts.
2. Soft – great for traveling over rough terrain and the city.
3. Tourist - this type has rather poor cross-country ability, but the positive aspects include a comfortable fit and the provided protective arches.

Engine capacity:

1. Up to 250 cc see - the presented type of motors performs well in urban conditions, thanks to its maneuverability. Air cooled.
2. From 250 to 300 cc. see - will be a good option for beginners to understand all the tricks of driving a motorcycle not on asphalt.
3. From 400 to 800 cc. see - this type of engine is perfect for traveling over rough terrain, as well as for city driving. Perhaps the only negative side is the huge mass, which is approximately 140 kilograms.

Review of the Kayo T2 250 Enduro motorcycle

In today's article we will take a closer look at the Kayo T2 motorcycle and its modifications, namely the Kayo T2 250 and Kayo T2 250 Enduro.

Do you love motocross, off-road riding and muddying? Then you have come to the right place! In today's article we will take a closer look at the Kayo T2 motorcycle and its modifications, namely the Kayo T2 250 and T2 250 Enduro. This technique has already proven itself to be a reliable and unpretentious device. The manufacturer is a leader among Chinese enduro and motocross motorcycles. Kayo T2 has only positive reviews.

First impression

The first thing you want to pay attention to in Kayo T2 is its harmonious appearance. Clear fender lines, wide handlebars with soft protection with a prominent Kayo logo, inverted fork, silicone grips, narrow saddle for better control in the rack, a real box filter and a “correct” air filter. The headlight, despite its modest size, perfectly illuminates the road, while its power is only 35 watts with standard switching between low and high beam. The Chinese did not skimp on the quality of graphics, and the color scheme changes every year. For example, in the photo below the color version of 2016 is the most successful in my opinion.

The strength of the plastic is also excellent. Compared to other similar motorcycles, it is very durable due to its thickness and flexibility. The gas tank is also made of plastic and its volume is 9.5 liters. The main feature of Kayo T2 250 is its light weight. The dry weight of the motorcycle, like the Kayo K1 250 model, is 105 kg, which is comparable to a good KTM! In this parameter, it has no equal among its Chinese counterparts; its competitors weigh around 120-130 kg.

The first motorcycle for my uncle at 32 years old, and which one did I choose?

I decided to make my first post. The purpose of this opus is to talk about the agony of choosing the FIRST

motorcycle for my uncle at
32 years old
. What, how, why and how much!

Introductory

: license category
A, M
- no, only B. Before that I saw the motorcycle only at a distance of a couple of meters.

So, I'm soon 32 years old

, and I decided to give myself a small present. As a child, like most boys, I wanted something with two wheels and a motor. But somehow it didn’t work out, my dad forbade it, and apparently I didn’t really want to.

So what do we have? There are no licenses of category A, there are no M licenses or anything else. There is only V. For a moped you already need at least M, but up to 50 cubic meters it seems that V will do, but I’m not sure.

It’s summer, the weather is whispering, my father-in-law and I are celebrating Marine Corps Day (he fought with me, CHAD, and some places that I don’t even know where they are). We celebrate quietly peacefully, without shouting “Where we are, there is victory,” in the courtyard of a private house. I'm in a good mood, my hands are itching)

I started browsing message boards, created a search, and received notifications by email. I was interested in the price range up to 30,000 rubles, ideally even cheaper, because the house is being renovated, my wife and I sleep on the sofa, and she, my beloved woman, won’t understand why the hell I locked a TYRCHIK home instead of a bed.

What were the options anyway?

I also looked at Java

, and
Planets
- well, these images have been loved since childhood, but this is a mess. For those who like to tinker with them - happiness, for me it’s a pain in the ass, since I only have time for rides. But I still want this sound, bang-bang-bang, for me it’s like a song.

Scooters

I dismissed it right away, I wasn’t in the mood for them. Although here is a small disclaimer, a photo of mine, which I later bought for cheap. But more on that later.

Article on the topic: Suprotek in Gur reviews from owners

I also started watching so-called PIT bikes

. The most inexpensive and lightweight motorcycles that fit into the “sports equipment” category. This means that driving on special roads (public roads) is prohibited. Here you will run into some of the organs.

In general, riding except on a track that is certified for motocross is IMPOSSIBLE.

My priority was a Chinese PITbike, a scooter

(there were even Japanese DIOs here, but either the price or the condition),
Russian equipment
(IZH, Java, Ural, Dnepr). By the way, I had never been on a motorcycle before. Even the scooter was only seen by another person driving it.

I looked through the ads for a month and eventually found what I just bought. According to legend, the PITbike was bought a month ago for a nephew who suddenly left for his historical homeland in Israel. The legend is so-so, but that’s not the main thing, I can come up with something awesome myself. According to the receipts, Pete was indeed purchased a month ago, in a store in my city, and in appearance he was like new.

For example, if you compare it with how it looks now, in two weeks of riding, I’ve already dropped it a couple of times. And scratches appeared on the paint of the metal, and the plastic in the places where the stickers were placed is no longer so glamorous.

Before purchasing, I looked for advice on motorcycle forums. I’ll say right away that there may be adequate advice, but the advice is not always useful. I clearly knew that I wanted to try, I didn’t have any thoughts about immediately buying a 250cc Suzuki and trying to get it.

If someone is now thinking about buying their first motorcycle, with the goal of generally trying out what it is and how it is, then I would buy a PITbike. For me, a motorcycle is freedom! That's why bikers joke that sooner or later everyone switches to enduro

. My PIT and enduro are not particularly compatible, but it can easily go into the forest, into hummocks, and just into the grass where there is no path.

I’ll tell you what it is from the point of view of emotions and a little modest experience of owning a PITbike.

So, PIT bikes are different and cost different things. The cheapest segment is cheap China. They all look the same, only the stickers are different. For example, I looked at IRBIS TTR125, there are quite a lot of them, they are very popular. The only differences with my REGULmoto are the stickers. The carburetor is the same, the clutch is the same, the brake and clutch handles are the same. Well, don’t I have a headlight and a speedometer (which on the Irbis shows the temperature on the Moon).

Article on the topic: Warm baseboard reviews from owners

The weight of the PITbike is 67 kg, but it doesn’t look like it. It starts with an electric starter, or kickstarter (you pull it with your foot). It can reach a speed of 80 km per hour if the wind is fair and coming from a hill. I haven’t tried the maximum speed myself, this is from YouTube. My maximum speed according to GPS is 55 km/h. Well, this is not a vehicle that needs to be driven quickly and far. 125 cubic meters, synthetic oil, replacement is measured in tanks. That is, after 30 tanks I have an oil change. I skated 2 tanks, the tank is 3.7 liters. Lasts a long time.

Then, as some wrote, I got tired of him. Or rather, it’s not like that, it’s become too small for me. And I wanted a 250 cc

, and started selling this one and looking for a Chinese one with a larger cube. I sold this one without loss in price, and quite quickly, the father took it to his son.

By the time of the sale, what I wanted was sorted out on bulletin boards, only “expensive” ones remained. The idea is simple, in the off-season it’s easier to buy a bigger bike - cheaper! I have already put this thought aside. But. One morning, I caught my dog's sad look. It read - master, SHO for business when I again rush around the field at a speed of 40 km per hour.

I told my wife that I was going to get some snacks, I found an ad for the cheapest price, threw off a little more, and went to pick up a scooter on the bus. This miracle looked like this! By the way, it’s above in the photo, so I’ll paste the video here.

Since I don’t have a license of category M, I also don’t have a license of category A, I drove through the fields, where, surprisingly, I didn’t even meet a single mushroom picker! Fortunately, I studied all the trails while still on the pit, so in just over an hour I covered about 30 km of off-road and mushroom paths. True, I got lost twice, once I came to a place where you can only drive a cross-country vehicle, and this stool is “not good at all.”

The dog approved, using GPS we found out that the dog had grown up and got a little lazy after two weeks without running, and dropped its maximum speed from 40 km/h to 35 km/h

.

Based on the results of the trip, the scooter showed mixed results. The red zone starts at 45 km per hour, but since there is a piston with 72 cubic meters, and the speedometer is under 50, I accelerated it to 55. In the field, it goes 50 km per hour along the knurled line.

Compared to a pit bike, this is a vehicle for grandfathers.

The CVT is of course a crazy topic. In general, I posted a review on it, advertised it on Avito, and the next day it was taken from me at cost.

Article on the topic: Kia Soul owner reviews 2011

Although this thing was perfect for my needs. But I have few needs regarding this technology. Walk the dog in the field, drive across the field to your parents’ dacha, and to the local store, which is also located in the field. That is, there are no additional roads (public roads). I don’t even ride a bike on the road, damn it)))

A couple more days passed. The dog has already gotten used to the idea that it either runs actively or chases birds in the grass. It’s already cold, the bike went to a warm garage. But my hands are itching.

Let's look at the Avito further, we have a lot of money. Well, it’s not interesting to just buy something for yourself right away and just drive. Found this. Condition - fire! ))

What can I say, the jalopy drives. I agreed for 23,000 rubles

for THIS))) We could have waited a little longer, they would have thrown it off again, but for some reason I wanted to poke it with a multimeter and turn the nuts.

Our equipment is as follows (Stels Flex 250 cubic meters):

— no rear brake pads and no brake fluid in the reservoir

— no instrument panel and plastic around the headlights

In this regard, it was bought secondhand, but new on paper Tyumen. In general, I was surprised, for some reason in stores now there is only China, and for such a battery they ask for 2,000 rubles. I decided to support the domestic manufacturer. In the photo I'm charging.

Damn, guys. When, as a child, I looked at the “starshaks” who, with the air of an alpha male, start a nuclear weapon from a pusher, and then give rides to the girls that their plugs fly out - well, I wanted to do the same. But then it didn’t work out.

Now this device was brought straight to my house, without a battery or the opportunity to check the starter. Then on the second day I drove with him here, learned to start it from the pushrod, well, in general I was delighted. I ran around the area, smiling from ear to ear, here the guys have cars for 3-4 lemons, but damn, even they were interested in how it would end!

This pile of Chinese iron with plastic in places, without an instrument panel and traces of rough use, gave me something that I did not realize in childhood. It got me there. A sort of Chinese JAVA))

But on day 3

, I already sold it. And Flex continued to zeher. One person came to look, I showed him, started it for half a kopeck, he said that he had gone to get money, and disappeared. I don’t know, maybe he’s still looking.

But that’s not the point, I closed the gas tap. And when another person came to look in the evening, I didn’t push him, we rushed around for about 30 minutes, he pushed me, but it didn’t work at all. I’m a damn honest dude, I live by the rules, treat others the way you want them to treat you. I didn’t warm it up with a special tool to show that it starts even when cold. Therefore, I filmed another video at the request of another buyer.

In the end, I changed it with an additional payment to Kayo. Also 125 cubes

just like my first PITbike. Back to where I started. I came to the conclusion that a scooter is bullshit, driving to work without traffic jams is the maximum. The road one accelerates quickly, but without a license and the desire to go on public roads, it is useless!

Yesterday I went for a drive and recorded a video, but today it’s already +7 outside and I don’t even want to go out there. But maybe in the evening I’ll go to my parents’ dacha! Of course I look crazy on it, but I don’t care))

I hope that this POST will be useful to someone.

Since opinions on the forums vary, some advise immediately a liter and go on the highway without a license, the MOST important thing is to be careful (this is a quote, I am against it), someone immediately Jebel, in order to immediately understand what a cool technique should be. I chose the Chinese, but we'll see.

Differences between the Kayo T2 250 Enduro model

As for the Kayo T2 250 Enduro, its weight is slightly higher - 110 kg. The extra 5 kilograms are added by turn signals, a license plate tail with an integrated LED brake light, a small trunk with a reinforced subframe, passenger footrests, a chain guard, mirrors and a dashboard.

Sea trials

When you get behind the wheel of the Kayo T2 for the first time, you experience some inconvenience. The seat feels narrow and hard, making it difficult to get into neutral, and there is quite a bit of vibration from the engine, as there is no balance shaft. But once you go off-road, all this fades into the background. Control is easy and precise. The first gear is quite short, but you can drive it anywhere. For a primitive Chinese engine, the dynamics are sufficient for light enduro and the basics of motocross. By the way, the engine was borrowed from the Honda CRF 230, so there are no questions about reliability. It is very hardy, it is almost impossible to overheat. Maintenance costs pennies. However, we recommend refueling only 95 gasoline. At 92 the responsiveness is worse, and when going uphill you can even hear detonation. At low speeds, the Kayo T2 is sluggish, but if you turn the gas up to 6 thousand, the motorcycle willingly spins up to 9 thousand rpm.

The fork works quite well, there are even adjustments for stiffness and rebound, like the rear shock absorber, it works well. Yes, by the way, Kayo T2 enduro does not have such adjustments. As for the brakes, there are no complaints about the rear brake. The foot brake lever in the latest Kayo T2 models runs in an arc above the footrest, thereby eliminating braking from grass or branches packed under it. The front brake is a little lacking in grip. However, there are enough brakes for off-road use. Both brakes on reinforced hoses with 2 piston calipers are good because they have the same pads, this is a plus. I was pleased with the box. The shift of the gearbox foot is short, the gears shift clearly. And the lever itself is made of high-quality aluminum. When falling, the foot folds and remains intact. As are the footrests. Having a side stand is good.

The sound deserves high praise! Especially the 2013 model has a straight-through exhaust.

Newer models are somewhat quieter. The muffler can is made of very high quality, the diameter of the elbow is of good thickness, which has a positive effect on the responsiveness of the engine.

The downside to this motorcycle is the steel rims, which require attention in the form of tightening the spokes. When hitting a good hole, there is a high risk of damage to the rim. The next disadvantage is the chain. It stretches a lot on the first ride. Most owners immediately change it to Japanese. The weak point is the thin steel steering wheel, which bends a lot and even breaks if it hits the ground well. In early '13 models there were complaints about the rear sprocket falling off, the problem was solved by installing longer bolts with reinforced washers and nuts on the back of the hub. Some inconvenience is caused by starting with a kick starter, which rests against the driver’s right footrest until you fold it down. Some riders complain about the fork being stiff and not having full suspension travel. The problem goes away when you change the oil to a good fork oil with a viscosity index of 5W. The original carburetor requires tuning and some modification, in the form of replacing the main fuel jet from 102 to 109 or even 112 depending on climatic conditions, due to which the failures to open the handle will disappear and the power will increase slightly. Perhaps for some, the price will seem like a disadvantage of this motorcycle. The price for new copies in 2022 is about 133 thousand rubles. Kayo T2 Enduro will cost a couple thousand more. The cost of used devices ranges from 70 to 100 thousand, depending on the condition.

Pitbike Kayo T2 250 Enduro – power and creativity

The motorcycle of the famous Kayo brand is the undisputed leader in its class. Kayo T2 250 Enduro is a step above classic pit bike models due to its excellent cross-country performance in cross-country races. For Kayo T2, the real elements are extreme conditions outside the monotonous city traffic.

Pitbike Kayo T2 250 Enduro

The flagship model has been on the market for several years now, with no intention of giving up its position. Inexpensive, but quite powerful and lightweight, this option is often considered by those who are purchasing a two-wheeled friend for the first time. The all-terrain vehicle easily passes through fields, rough terrain, climbs hills, dirt is not a hindrance to it.

The Motorcycle Sports Association specially developed this unit for participation in athletics cross-country competitions. Its sporting success contributed to the promotion of similar models to a wide range of consumers. Several modifications have been developed: Enduro and the classic cross version.

Modifications

• KAYO T2 250 Enduro - a model commissioned by the Chinese Motorcycle Association for participation in track and field cross-country competitions. Weight difference – this version is 10 kg heavier than the base model. The fuel tank has been increased to 9.5 liters. The choice includes motorcycles in black-orange and blue-green colors. The price of KAYO t2 enduro depends on the type of power unit: Kayo T2 250 Enduro Super T2 21/18 - the motorcycle is distinguished by the installation of an engine with a power of 20.4 hp. s./233 cm3.
• Kayo T2 250 Enduro Super T2 19/16 – this pit bike has a 16.4 liter engine. s./233 cm3.

Specifications

The total tank volume is 9 liters and the engine power is more than 20 liters. With. allow you to run long distances without refueling. Due to the enlarged wheels and the uncharacteristic 250 cc engine, the manufacturer enlarged and strengthened the bike’s frame, leaving the structure itself as lightweight as possible.

Kayo T2 250 pit bike parameters:

working volume - 249; power - 20.4; maximum speed - 100 km/h; gas tank capacity - 9.5 l; weight - 105-110 kg; Fuel consumption is 3.4 liters on the highway and 4.5 liters over rough terrain.

As a result, the cost of this motorcycle ranges from 120-135 thousand rubles, but used models can be purchased from 60-95 thousand rubles, depending on the condition of the motorcycle.

Operating experience

Owners of Kayo equipment note its reliability and durability. If handled properly, the company's ATV will last 3-5 years, after which the engine life will be exhausted.

Before purchasing, you should immediately decide for what purpose the ATV is needed. If the device will be used only for recreation and driving on flat roads, it is recommended to purchase an all-terrain vehicle with a 110 cm³ engine. But for more serious tasks, it is better to choose models with a more powerful engine.

Almost all ATV models of the Chinese brand are utilitarian. This is a universal technique that can be used for walking, fishing or hunting trips, transporting and towing cargo. Also, ATVs with a powerful engine are capable of performing various household tasks in the garden or field.

Tuning

The Enduro Kayo can be fully tuned technically, which will improve technical characteristics and ensure ease of use. Craftsmen carry out full or partial painting, change mirrors, springs for the footrest, and replace plastic handles with aluminum ones.

To make the engine sparkle, it is chromed or polished using a special technology. A tuned motorcycle with creative airbrushing or special stickers looks stylish and attracts the attention of others.

Major breakdowns and repairs

For its price category, this is an excellent model that does not require modifications after purchase, and if required, adjustments can be made manually. Among the shortcomings and breakdowns, we can note poorly tightened bolts securing the sprocket to the wheel hub, the electric starter may fail, and the teeth on the intermediate gear may break off.

To avoid minor troubles, after purchase you need to tighten all the bolts, change the oil, brake fluid and chain, and also saturate the filter with a special substance. It would be a good idea to find the countersunk screws and tighten them well or place them on the blue thread locker.

The most common breakdowns in Kayo T2 250

✔ Benefits

• Universal (allows you to drive around the city, highways and light off-road).
• Unpretentious in maintenance. Adjusting valves, changing oil and other procedures can be done even by beginners.
• Impressive exhaust sound, creating the feeling that this is a tough sportbike.
• A spacious 9-liter plastic tank and economical fuel consumption allow you to run long distances without refueling, even if the pilot pushes the maximum speed.
• It has a low seat height (saddle height – 89 cm), which allows the pit bike to be used by people of small stature (this is why teenagers often choose a motorcycle).
• Spare parts for repairs can be found in all stores and are inexpensive (for example, the battery will cost 1300 rubles, the switching unit - 640, the driven star - 1030, the ignition coil - 340, the relay regulator - 420).
• Unique tank design (with a lid that helps to accurately pour oil and gasoline, and also protects against water ingress if the bike floods).
• The brake lever folds when the motorcycle rolls over, which protects the part from damage.

Comparison with analogues

The 2015 Kayo T2 250 Enduro motocross model differs from last year's model by a new high-speed rear sprocket, which gives the bike a more dashing start and power, as well as an increased fuel tank capacity of up to 9.5 liters. The brake foot is now on top of the footrest. Until 2015, it was located at the bottom, which caused some problems, as on the Irbis 125R. Although the headlight is small, it illuminates the road quite clearly and strongly, much better than on the Irbis.

Kayo T2 250 Enduro weighs 110 kg. The same BM Enduro 250DD, Zid Lifan LF200 or Irbis 250R with the same power weigh about 130 kg and are not so easy to move. Engine power 16 l. s., but they differ from the same ones as on Irbis. Acceleration is much faster here due to the shorter gears. It is comfortable to drive and accelerate on it, although the maximum speed is no more than 100 km/h. The comfortable maximum speed of Lifan or Irbis, although higher, is not much higher.

Although the suspension is not top-end, you can feel the difference compared to Irbis or Lifan. Compared to the Irbis TTR 250, the Kayo T2 250 has a more stylish appearance and a stronger rear shock absorber. The Racer Enduro RC250XZR cannot accommodate a passenger, unlike the Kayo two-seater.

Why the Kayo model is worse than its competitors:

Advantages

• Affordable price. The new Kayo T4 250 Enduro will cost the same amount that you can only buy a 20-year-old “Japanese” of the same class, and in unknown condition. Of course, Japanese motorcycles are famous for their reliability, but enduro bikes are often used in extreme conditions, and an old bike can show a lot of hidden damage.
• Modest weight - the dry weight of Kayo T4 is only 107 kg. Handling this motorcycle will be easy even for an inexperienced off-road conqueror.
• Simple design. It is quite possible to carry out repairs and maintenance of the bike on your own in the garage, without spending money on the services of motorcycle services. Moreover, the simpler it is, the more reliable it is, as we know.
• Spacious gas tank with a volume of 9.5 liters. One Kayo T4 tank is enough even for a very long trip, and the bike is not picky when it comes to fuel - it readily consumes AI-92.
• Inexpensive consumables and spare parts that are usually in stock.
• Longer engine life compared to the two-stroke Kayo T2.

Reviews

Judging by the reviews, owners of this model note easy control, excellent assembly, good factory shock absorbers, which do not have to immediately look for a replacement, as in other models.

Screenshot of review No. 1

I bought myself a Kayo Enduro motorcycle, and at a price of 83,000 rubles from the first batch. I really liked the powerful engine and the fact that the bike is light. It can be transformed to suit your needs. I needed a headlight, and the wiring is here, I just changed the front shield and installed a headlight. The frame also allows you to install the engine you want. Kayo Enduro is equipped with good suspension, both front and rear. Convenient oil change. I liked the LED optics, there is registration and many other nice features, such as a high-quality rear shock absorber, an adjustable soft fork and protection on the stays.

In Kayo t2 250 enduro, the design has become even more attractive and creative, emphasizing the sporty style. This is not a Harley-Davidson, but in its price segment it looks very stylish. In the video you can see all the attractiveness of the model. I drove around the city and beyond at a good speed.

Off-road temptation: lightweight Chinese enduro Kayo T4

Who said that an inexpensive motorcycle can't be good? The Chinese company Kayo would not agree with this statement, presenting to the public an excellent and, at the same time, inexpensive 4-stroke enduro - the T4 model.

Many motorcyclists treat inexpensive Chinese bikes as a budget toy that they can ride in the countryside, and, hand on heart, we must admit that just ten years ago this was the case. But the Chinese motorcycle industry does not stand still; companies from the Middle Kingdom are improving their creations year after year, the modern representatives of which can really give many pleasant moments for a very modest amount. The Kayo T4 250 Enduro is a prime example of this. Decent technical characteristics at a reasonable price - what more do you need?
