First Look: GPX Moto TSE250R Chinese Two-Stroke

The GPX Moto TSE250R is the first Chinese two-stroke enduro bike and “the most affordable and highest performance two-stroke in its class.”

Priced at $5600 it’s certainly a competitive price. US importers, PitsterPro, are claiming “simple and reliable performance,” with the TSE250R.

Equipped with a six-speed transmission and bottom mounted electric start the TSE250R is certainly a bike ready for enduro - if not a little familiar in places when you look closely.

With an electronically controlled power valve and oil injection system, the TSE is not based on old WR200 (as we first thought), but apparently on Yamaha's DT230 Lanza.

It seems the manufacturer bought the whole Yamaha production line of engines. The TSE250R is already on sale in Russia, among other territories.

GPX Moto TSE250R Details:

• 250cc two-stroke engine, electric start, oil injection
• Six-speed wide-ratio transmission
• CNC triple clamps and footpegs
• Lightweight central backbone "A" box frame
• Frame guards and 3M Heavy duty graphics
• HD aluminium Enduro X Series wheels
• Folding clutch and brake levers
• Billet CNC hubs and spoke nipples
• Skid plate with linkage guard
• Handguards
• Rebound, compression adjustment suspension front and rear
• Head light and tail light kit & racing number plate included

Either way it sounds interesting. The TSE250R is due in 2018.
