Although it still does not dare to call it a pit bike. A kind of small and remote sneaker, for frivolous rides. Because for something more serious, you need more serious equipment. At least the same Kayo.
Although, to be honest, it’s simply a sin to complain about our TTR, it went through fire and water and copper pipes with us. Starting with the theft from a paid parking lot and ending with a year of storage in a cold police garage, like a dock thing.
In addition to weak iron, which the Chinese have been famous for lately, because you can’t count how many times we ruled the steering wheel, and that we replaced a lot of spare parts in it, including the head. Today it is impossible to move around the city on such a tyrchik. Since it is not equipped with anything for this and you cannot put it on the numbers, and this is not 50, this is 125, and the rights, in theory, should be category A. Therefore, there are only troubles with this. You can ride, but only in the fields. And you still have to get to the fields. Fortunately, we have it in the trunk.
For those who want to learn the basics of motorcycle repair and tuning, then this option is for you. DIY motorcycle. Ride a day, dig in the garage for a week.
But still, all the shortcomings can be attributed to its low cost, and as the first such experiment, it is even quite possible.
Of course, in a couple of three years, all the most unnecessary has already flown away from him. Including the headlight, which shone absolutely disgustingly.
A big plus is the low consumption of gasoline and its efficiency. It is also not difficult to get spare parts for it, but all of them will cost from 1500 and more. That is, any more or less repair can cost the cost of this motorcycle. We've definitely invested more in it than it originally cost. But the kid is daring and fast and we love him very much no matter what.
Cross-country motorcycle Irbis TTR 125 from the company "Irbis", positioning itself in the class pit bike in the motorcycle market, belongs to the category of full-fledged motorcycles with a volume.
TTR 125 this is not just a downsized motorcycle, it occupies a special niche in the classification, which has its own glorious history, it is the so-called pit bike (mini motorcycle for off-road racing among teenagers, such races are especially popular in America).
The founder of the class was the pitbike Honda XR 50, which was equipped with a four-stroke 50cc engine. This motor was developed back in the early 60s for the Honda Super Cub scooter. Pit bikes are sport bikes entry-level, they are simple in design and easy to maintain and operate.
Despite its long-standing popularity in the world, in Russia this class is just beginning to win its fans, and the Irbis company, which represents Chinese equipment on our market under its own brand, is one of the first to offer a stylish and high-quality pit bike.
This sports bike is not designed for riding on public roads, but it's not scary, as it already has a wide range of applications. You can ride it outside the city, through forests and fields, or on specially designated tracks.
Irbis TTR 125 is primarily suitable for learning how to drive a motorcycle or moped. For the organization of training, any site where there is no traffic of cars is suitable. The sports skills gained in practice can not only give a general idea of \u200b\u200b, but will also be useful in normal city driving on any road or sports motorcycles.
The technical characteristics of this two-wheeled "device" are not distinguished by their modesty. Firstly, the motorcycle has a rather "peppy" engine of 125 cubic centimeters, originating from the Honda Cub. This engine is unique not only for its successful design, but also for its margin of safety and resource intensity.
In addition to the cub engine with a characteristic almost horizontal cylinder, the Irbis TTR 125 pit bike is distinguished by a unique frame of the so-called spinal type, in which the engine is suspended from below. The frame resembles a birdcage shape and is painted bright red. The design of this type of frame is used on iconic motorcycles Ducati.
It is also worth noting the manual clutch. The usual cub motors use an automatic transmission, which may be easier to ride, but will not allow you to learn all the intricacies of controlling a motocross bike. The gearbox has 4 speeds, but the shift order (unconventional method - all speeds go up in a circle) and gear ratios designed specifically for sports driving. The maximum speed of the Irbis TTR 125 is 100 km / h, subject to driving on a high-quality road surface (asphalt).
Also on the motorcycle are quite perfect suspensions for this class. Of course, they are not intended for hard cross-country jumping, but when driving dynamically on dirt roads, they show good results. It is worth mentioning that amateurs use shock absorbers of similar characteristics that are already installed on the bike as tuning. An undoubted plus of the design is the steps, which themselves are removed when they fall, so it will be quite difficult to break or bend them.
Compared to classic pit bikes, the TTR 125 is slightly larger in size. The bike has 17" front wheels and 14" rear wheels, while regular pitbikes have 10" wheels. big wheels allow not only teenagers, but also adults to ride a motorcycle. This motorcycle is designed for riders with a height of 160 to 180 cm.
spoked wheels, off road tires and disc brakes on all wheels not only look good, but are extremely effective and require little to no Maintenance. Compared to drum brakes, disc brakes are much better at braking in difficult situations. road conditions: mud, snow, rain. But do not forget about the special cross-country rubber installed on the motorcycle, which also provides invaluable assistance during braking and acceleration.
Motocross bikes usually don't have lights. Firstly, it increases the weight of the motorcycle, and, secondly, it is very easy to damage it with frequent falls. For ease of use at night, this model has a simple headlamp. If necessary, it can be removed by replacing it, for example, with a special "stub". It is also desirable to change the front fender to a higher one, but this is more related to the tuning section of the Irbis TTR 125.
This motorcycle can be used all year round, both in summer and in winter. Since it is not intended for use on public roads, it does not require registration with the traffic police, as well as with technical supervision authorities. A category "A" driving license is also not required.

So where to start? I'll start with the fact that this is a motocross motorcycle (read below about the conversion to a motard). Although it is not even completely cross. I would categorize it as: for country rides and mud mixing why, read on.
And for starters:

Comments on Tech. characteristics:
Well, now let's criticize the manufacturer's data. Firstly, the saddle height strongly depends on how the bike was assembled, it varies from 820 to 830.
Secondly, the maximum speed is not 100, again due to the crankiness of the Chinese, although no, they are collected from us. Therefore, it presses a maximum of 80, if you climb inside the engine and sort everything out, it will squeeze out the declared 100 km / h.
Thirdly, such a load of 150 kg. he may trample, but with great difficulty, and the suspension will not stand at all. Traveling together is not really worth it, it is not designed for two. I also note that the Irbis 125 has a non-traditional gearbox scheme. N-> 1-> 2-> 3-> 4, that is, all gears up, you have to get used to it.
Overview
In order, from the moment of purchase and beyond.Price this miracle is now in Moscow time. is an average of 35 thousand rubles. And it varies from 29 to 45 thousand rubles. Only the motorcycle itself is included, a strange instruction in Russian, but I don’t advise attaching importance to it, since I had the feeling that it was from another motorcycle and a small set of tools that would be better replaced with good ones in the future.
Purpose: The Irbis is intended for off-road use only. This is mentioned on the plates and even on the tires, though in English. This is a technique for entertainment / riding on fields, equipped for motocross tracks, forest paths and clearings. On it it is simply IMPOSSIBLE to be a “participant traffic", that's why driver's license and won't be required. Title is not provided, because "TTR 125" is not certified as a vehicle. When selling, a sales contract is issued indicating the details of the buyer (full name, passport, etc.) and the seller, cash / sales receipt. Can't be registered! Not to be confused with "not required". All options like “I’ll put slicks, turn signals, a stopar with mirrors ... if I’ll dump yards and gardens, they’ll catch up with horseradish ...” are implemented for driving on the DOP at your own peril and risk. Until the first misfortune!
So, now you have become the happy owner of the Irbis and want to take a break from the busy city traffic, but it was not there. To begin with, you need to sort out the ENTIRE motorcycle, since it comes to Russia as spare parts and is already assembled here, it’s cheaper. The main thing that causes complaints is the looseness of the bolts or their excessive twisting, poor lubrication and fitting of parts, but once in a while, as they say. It even happens that the brake pedal is on the wrong side, everything happens. I also advise you to change the oil, you can not on the first day, but after 1-2 days, since the transport oil is filled there. I note that in the Irbis, the gearbox and engine have a common crankcase with a single volume of oil.
Useful improvements, without which it is better not to knead the dirt:
1) We make the protection of the rear ammort, since no one took care of it. And it quickly gets clogged with dirt. It can be made from anything, from an old car chamber (like mine), from good fabric, someone even puts linoleum there.
From above we fasten with bolts (just unscrew them and put a part of the protection there, make holes in the protection and screw it back in. From below we fasten it with clamps to the pendulum (the best option).
2)
We increase the rear fender + front (optional)
If this is not done, you will be all the same color from the back, after riding through the mud. And the whole engine will be in the front in the mud and the cooling will be bad. There are many options, here are just a few:
This is my choice. A large wing from KTM was bought and a part was cut off from it, as a result, it was enough for the front and back (I put it on the front only because I broke the regular wing when it fell (Irbis’s plastic is flimsy), as a result, from a piece of the old and a piece of the new it turned out that something interesting.
3)
Check the gasket under the gas tank cap, it happens sometimes that they forget to make holes in it and the vacuum created by it does not let gasoline into the engine.
4)
I almost forgot, adjust the carburetor, it is very sensitive here, it may not start at +10, or it may start at -5 with half a poke, experiment.
If you are not going to ride around the city, then everything is necessary from the necessary. The maximum that can still be put is hand protection.
For aggressive cross:
It is not designed for hard cross-country jumping. But this can be fixed, although it will take a lot of time and effort.
What to fix:
1) Suspension bushings are flimsy, you need 2 times thicker, you have to grind.
2) The footrests are attached to the engine substrate, it can all come off, it is necessary to strengthen
3) The steering wheel is not the most comfortable. If you are tall, put the steering wheel more, or take the Irbis TTR250 (About its differences and about it in general in the next review)
Neglect the alteration and get this:
For city:
I repeat that it is not allowed on DOPs (Public Roads), but if you don’t care, then this section is just for you :)
1) Install slick tires
2) Making a stop signal:
3) We put mirrors:
4) We put a bike computer, since there are no devices, not even a battery, only a dynamo.
5) And in order to be heard, we take out the glass wool from the muffler, it is very useful. And the sound is nicer.
6) We put a 17-tooth drive sprocket instead of 16 regular ones, the speed is higher, the torque is less, but in the city it is not really needed.
For winter
1) We hiss rubber.
I will not consider alteration for stuntriding.
Main problems and defects
There are defects, like all Chinese have, but there are no problems with spare parts, they carry a lot. But if you put non-native spare parts, then there may be problems with rubber. I was looking for good cameras for 14 and 17 for a very long time, I took the last ones in the store, installed some, left others in reserve.
1)
Candles burn out very quickly. Clean them often, especially if they do not start, the problem is most likely in them. The best option is a small bag with tools between the fairing and the steering wheel, it will help on the roads;)
2)
Crane. Change the gas filter, get ready for the fact that gasoline flows regardless of the position of the tap, it just flows less in the closed position.
3)
The leading sprocket quickly clogs with shit, if you knead the dirt, you need to clean it.
4)
Clutch. In the clutch, the pressure bar during active driving all the time goes to the left and the clutch disappears, a flaw in the designers.
We fix it by building up the protrusions of the limiting bar or like this: The limiting plate 2 itself has an “arch” from below, where the screw 3 passes. 1), then the washer will act as a stopper and prevent the plate from floating away. On the outer locking plate, you can also carefully bend the limiter tabs (indicated by arrows) at an angle slightly less than 90 degrees.
5) I also advise you to change the chain, since this one quickly stretches, although I personally have been walking for a long time, although I have already pulled it up 2 times.
Conclusion
Video for those who are not sure of its size for themselves
Well, here we have joined the world of Chinese pit bikes. On my own behalf, I want to say that this motorcycle is one of the best in terms of price / quality ratio for rides. From Chinese technology certainly. The engine is good, which is very important, the traction is good, it consumes little fuel, it is light. Not without problems, but there is room for creativity. Take it, you won't regret it, take a break from the city and get a lot good impressions. And then he will be drawn to tricks, because he strives to get on the "goat" from the first gear, and allows you to get under way from the second.
I'll post some pictures of my recent ones.
Friend on my mote
Winter is also not without rides

Today, cross-country pit bikes are quite popular among motorists, featuring good performance and affordable price. Such motorcycles show themselves perfectly in difficult road conditions, allowing the owner to easily and quickly get to their destination.
Pitbike Irbis TTR 125
Motorcycle "Irbis" - a budget model of pit bikes, produced by the company of the same name, engaged in the production Vehicle enduro class. The model is almost universal, since it can be used both in the city and off-road. Motorists note that the TTR 125 motorcycle is lightweight, compact in size, powerful engine and durable steel frame. The pit bike is equipped with a universal suspension, thanks to which you can not only ride it, but also perform various tricks. Despite this, city driving may require a little tuning on the TTR 125.
Benefits of a pit bike
They are the following:
- Light weight, making it suitable for beginners.
- Affordable and inexpensive parts that can be found in almost any store that specializes in motorcycle products.
- Possibility of self-repair.
- Affordable price - average price on TTR 125 is 35 thousand rubles.
- Comfortable fit for small riders.
disadvantages
Users note the following disadvantages:
- Difficulty starting the engine in the cold season.
- Pitbike TTR 125 is equipped with a weak chain.
- Transport is not intended for people of high stature and overweight.
- Poor quality carburetor.
- The need for frequent replacement or cleaning of candles.
- Non-standard gearbox.
Specifications TTR 125
The Irbis pit bike model belongs to the category of budget motor vehicles, so you should not expect great power from it.
Some technical data declared by the manufacturer are not confirmed in practice. The maximum load is 150 kg, but motorists say that it is impossible to ride a TTR 125 bike together - it cannot withstand such a weight. also in technical specifications it is indicated that the maximum speed of the motorcycle is 100 km / h, while in practice it develops only 80 km / h. However, the TTR125 bike also has its advantages: it is equipped with a high-quality and reliable braking system, a suspension that is easy to control, and has excellent dynamics. High-quality rubber mounted on a motorcycle allows you to get out of the most difficult tracks.
Engine
Motorcycle Irbis TTR 125 is equipped with a fairly powerful power unit with a volume of 125 cubic centimeters and a unique welded frame of the spinal type, to which the motor is attached. Frames of this design are often used in Ducati motorcycles.
Clutch and gearbox
The Irbis cross-country motorcycle is equipped with a manual clutch, despite the fact that similar models of other brands are equipped with automatic transmission. The TTR 125 has a four-speed gearbox, but the very order of their shifting is non-standard: all gear ratios are selected specifically for sports driving and go up in a circle. When driving on a quality pavement the motorcycle speeds up to 100 km / h, however, many owners note that the limit for the bike is 80 km / h.
Suspension
Irbis TTR 125 is equipped with a fairly high-quality and reliable suspension for this class of motorcycles. Of course, she will not survive hard jumps and stunts, but she can cope with fast and dynamic driving on a dirt road. When tuning, motorists often equip the bike with new shock absorbers, similar in their characteristics to the standard ones. The advantage of the design of the motorcycle is the presence of footrests that automatically retract when falling, so that they cannot be bent or broken.
Dimensions
Pitbike TTR 125 differs from the classic models of motorcycles of the same class in its dimensions. There are seventeen-inch wheels in the front, and fourteen-inch wheels in the back, unlike regular pit bikes, which are equipped with ten-inch wheels. Thanks to larger diameter wheels, not only teenagers, but also adults can ride the Irbis with one limitation: the height of the driver must be between 160-180 centimeters.
Off-road tires, disk brake system on both wheels and spoked wheels not only give the motorcycle an original appearance, but also are characterized by increased efficiency, do not require any maintenance. The disc brake system compares favorably with the drum brake system with greater efficiency and better braking in difficult road conditions: in rain, snow or mud. When braking, accelerating and driving off-road, special cross tires installed on the Irbis TTR 125 motorcycle also provide considerable assistance.
Most motocross bikes are not equipped with lighting equipment for several reasons. Firstly, it significantly increases the weight of the transport, and secondly, it is easily damaged when falling. The simplest headlight is responsible for the safety and convenience of movement in the dark. A motorist can remove it at any time by replacing it with a special plug. The front fender of a motorcycle is often replaced with a higher counterpart.
Motorcycle "Irbis" can be operated all year round - both in winter and in summer. Since such equipment is not intended for use on general purpose highways, it does not need to be registered with the traffic police. To control the bike are not required and driver's license category "A".
Pit bike tuning
Fans of tuning the Irbis TTR 125 will not like it: the minimal design does not allow it to be improved in any way. The engine installed on it has maximum power, it is almost impossible to increase it. Experts advise equipping the rear shock absorber with protection, because when driving off-road, it quickly becomes clogged with mud. It is worth resorting to visual tuning only if you plan to use the motorbike for other than its intended purpose. For their own comfort and convenience, the owner can replace wheels, tires, install mirrors and additional lighting.
Repair work
The principle of operation of the motorcycle is simple, which greatly facilitates its repair. The advantage of "Irbis" is the availability of spare parts - they can be purchased at specialized stores either at official manufacturer. Weak point pit bike are its spark plugs - they often form carbon deposits, and therefore they require careful maintenance. When buying a motorcycle, it is worth checking the fuel supply valve - often it is too weak and does not hold.
For those motorists who prefer more drive and adrenaline, there is the Irbis TTR 250 bike model. It is essentially an improved version of the TTR 125, featuring increased power and increased dimensions.
Where can I buy an Irbis bike?
The minimum cost of the Irbis TTR 125 motorcycle is 30-33 thousand rubles. The price may vary depending on the bike dealer.
It is quite possible to purchase this model from the hands for 15-20 thousand rubles. The cost of a used pit bike is affected by mileage, year of manufacture and the general condition of the vehicle.
Irbis TTR 125 is a good cross-country motorcycle of domestic production and Chinese assembly. In its category, it is one of the best in terms of price / quality ratio. The pit bike is technologically advanced, attractive appearance and excellent handling and is suitable not only for teenagers, but also for adults, both for training purposes and for conquering off-road.
