How to Choose Between a 125cc and 150cc Dirt Bike

For anyone new to off-road riding or considering an upgrade, choosing between a 125cc and a 150cc dirt bike can be confusing. While the two classes seem close in engine size, they cater to different riding needs and experience levels.

Here’s a simple guide to help you decide:

Feature

Still unsure? Think about your skill level, body size, and riding goals. If you’re just getting started or want something lightweight and nimble, go for the 125cc. If you’re after more power and plan to tackle tougher trails, the 150cc is worth the step up.
