At Coleman Mini Bike, we’re excited to offer the feature-packed 196cc mini bike. With a powerful air-cooled engine, rugged chassis and long travel suspension, this mini bike delivers off-road thrills mile after mile. In this article, we’ll explore all the details that make our 196cc the ultimate backyard shredder.
Potent 196cc Engine
The heart of our mini bike is the thumping air-cooled 196cc engine. This single cylinder powerplant provides loads of torque for conquering trails, jumps and muddy terrain. Key features include:
- 196cc displacement – High torque 4-stroke engine has power to spare when the going gets tough. Just twist the throttle and go!
- Electric start – Convenient push button starting when equipped with a lead acid battery. Recoil pull start is also provided.
- CVT transmission – Continuously variable transmission keeps the 196cc engine in the sweet spot for smooth acceleration.
- Tuned exhaust – Free flowing exhaust boosts power while giving the mini bike an aggressive rumble.
- Air filter – Large foam air filter maximizes airflow into the combustion chamber.
The potent 196cc thumper provides a thrilling ride every time. Just push the button to fire it up, then hold on as the torquey powerplant conquer backyards and trails with ease.
Rugged Steel Frame
The mini bike’s sturdy steel tube frame provides the strong foundation needed for extreme off-road use. Key frame features include:
- Thick 1.375″ steel tubing – Heavy 11 gauge steel is tough enough for big jumps and rough trails.
- Reinforced swingarm – Adds strength in the critical rear wheel leverage point of the frame.
- Powdercoated finish – Texture coating resists scratches and prevents corrosion.
- Integrated bodywork – Front and rear fenders are welded on as part of the frame for added strength.
This rugged frame gives the Coleman mini bike the chops to handle hardcore trail riding. The integrated bodywork also reduces flex for precise handling when landing big jumps.
Plush Suspension
To smoothly tackle trails and soak up landings, our mini bike features dialed suspension front and rear:
- 5.5″ front travel – Single A-arm fork with coilover shock eats up bumps and rutted trails.
- 3″ rear swingarm travel – Provides rear wheel stability and control over uneven terrain.
- Preload adjustable shocks – Rear shocks can be tuned for different rider weights and conditions.
- Steel swingarm – Robust steel rear triangle adds stiffness for responsive handling.
Whether you’re railing berms or pinning massive dirt jumps, the long travel suspension keeps the rubber side down. This gives riders the confidence to push harder and ride more aggressively.
All-Terrain Tires
Conquering backyards and trails requires quality rubber. That’s why our mini bike features these terrain-taming tires:
- 12 x 8″ Front Tire – Large, wide footprint for traction and float up front.
- 10 x 8″ Rear Tire – Matches the grip and flotation of the front.
- Deep tread lugs – Self-cleaning tread pattern sheds mud and debris quickly.
- 6 ply rated – Durable 6 ply casing prevents flats from punctures.
These heavy-duty knobbies provide top notch grip on loose dirt, mud, grass and gravel. The trail-tuned tread pattern maintains traction by ejecting debris cleanly from the lugs.
Rider-Focused Ergonomics
Several key features make our mini bike comfortable and intuitive to operate for long periods:
- Padded seat – Thick foam seat padding prevents fatigue and discomfort during extended rides.
- Full floorboards – Allows shifting body position for enhanced control.
- Bar risers – Elevated handlebar reduces arm fatigue and improves posture.
- Flat rear fenders – Fenders prevent debris kicked up by the rear tire from striking the rider.
- Adjustable brake pedal – Accommodates different rider heights and boot sizes.
Whether you’re launching sky-high or navigating narrow trails, the rider-focused design reduces fatigue. This allows you to keep riding strong even on marathon days at the track or trails.
Safety & Control
Ruggedness meets safety with these features that enhance control while providing peace of mind:
- Hydraulic disc brakes – Strong stopping power with precise modulation from dual hydraulic discs.
- LED lighting – Bright forward-facing headlight and rear taillight for dusk visibility.
- Safety tether – Engine shut-off leash stops the motor if the rider becomes separated from the bike.
- DOT certified tires – Meets the U.S. Department of Transportation standards for performance and durability.
- Sealed fuel tank – Prevents spills and reduces fire hazards.
We never compromise on safety, even on recreational off-road rides. With smart design and top quality components, you can push harder with confidence.
Customization Potential
One of the best aspects of our 196cc Coleman mini bike is the huge potential for customization and upgrades. Experienced riders can enhance performance with:
- Exhaust systems – Free-flowing exhausts significantly boost power while adding aggressive sound.
- Suspension kits – Upgraded shocks and springs improve damping and bottom-out resistance.
- Wheel & tire combos – Larger diameter wheels and grippy tires attack more challenging terrain.
- Engine modifications – Carefully done engine boring, ignition and carb mods can dramatically increase power.
- Brake upgrades – Larger discs and sintered pads enhance stopping control.
With the right mods and upgrades, skilled riders can transform a stock mini bike into a high-performance machine capable of tackling even the gnarliest terrain. Advanced riders will appreciate the potential for customization.
