MC 65
Where pure motocross riding really starts! For 2024, the MC 65 this has received a whole host of exciting updates including a new motor, bodywork, clutch, exhaust, frame, and transmission, all helping take the on-track experience to a whole new level. This little red racer is a fully fledged, 6-speed dirt bike designed to give all future superstars a competitive edge. Retaining a few race-tested components such as the WP suspension, Maxxis tires, and Twin Air filter, the MC 65 only needs numbers sticking on to take it racing. It really is that good.
BODYWORK
As you can see, the MC 65 certainly looks the business with it’s all new bodywork! All red to really stand out from the crowd, it’s not only vibrant, but with larger contact areas for riders to grip the bike with their legs, the new model let’s riders do their thing with greater control. There’s a flatter seat too which makes movement on the bike so much easier, especially for shorter riders.
SUBFRAME
Light, strong, durable. What else can we say about the new subframe? Oh yeah, it’s now made using a combination of polyamide glass fiber and steel to create a hybrid construction that’s built to last. It’s also height adjustable which means that riders can have their bike set-up based on their height or preference.
ENGINE
For 2024, our engineers focused on maximizing the performance from the MC 65 motor without sacrificing any reliability. And they’ve nailed it! Built with the latest in 2-stroke technology, it’s the Pressure Controlled Exhaust Valve that really helps this little bike sing! Well, that, and the close ratio 6-speed transmission, machined crankcases, hydraulic clutch, new ignition, BRISK spark plug, and revised jetting settings, which combine to make the MC 65 absolutely rip.
BRAKES
Make no mistake, the MC 65 is fast! So, it goes without saying that it’s fitted with high performance brakes. Floating calipers from Formula, together with a 198mm waved disk up front and a 180mm waved disk at the rear, allow riders to stay on the gas longer, brake later, and never miss their line through the turns.
