My son raced one last season. we had no complaints with the bike and it ran strong for us all season. Broke a few clutch plates but you'd be hard pressed to find any 125 racers who don't break the odd plate.

Like most 125's there is very little bottom. We changed the gearing from12/49 to 12/51 to help with that. From mid through top end the bike ripped, we seemed to get a little more top with an FMF SST system.

He raced MX with it and the only time he saw any trail use at all was during Dirtweek. You could go even further on the gearing to make it pull. Bottom line it's as good as any 125 your going to look at, keeping in mind if your main use is trails there is plenty more trail friendly machines on the market.
