🏁 X-PRO KNIGHT 250 DIRT BIKE
12 kW • 17 N·m • 60+ MPH • 5-SPEED MANUAL • 21"/18" WHEELS
The X-PRO Knight 250 is a full-size gasoline dirt bike built around a 223.6cc Zongshen CB223 4-stroke single-cylinder engine. It delivers 12 kW at 7,000 RPM, 17 N·m of torque at 5,000 RPM, a 5-speed manual transmission, electric + kick start, and large 21"/18" knobby tires.
Designed for adult riders and recreational off-road use, the Knight 250 combines a perimeter-cradle steel frame, 52" wheelbase, 34" seat height, 12" ground clearance, front and rear disc brakes, and a 176 lb maximum load capacity in a straightforward full-size package.
🔥 223.6cc ZONGSHEN POWER
12 kW OF MAXIMUM ENGINE OUTPUT
At the heart of the Knight 250 is a:
Zongshen CB223 — 223.6cc
4-stroke • Single-cylinder • Air-cooled
Engine output:
-
⚡ Maximum power: 12 kW @ 7,000 RPM
-
💪 Maximum torque: 17 N·m @ 5,000 RPM
-
🔧 Compression ratio: 9.0:1
-
📐 Bore × stroke: 65.5 × 66.2 mm
-
⛽ Carburetor: PE28
-
🔥 Ignition: CDI
The engine provides a traditional gasoline dirt-bike experience with mechanical gearing and a chain final drive.
⚙️ 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
PUT THE RIDER IN CONTROL
The Knight 250 uses a:
5-UP MANUAL TRANSMISSION
This lets the rider select the appropriate gear instead of relying on an automatic transmission.
Power reaches the rear wheel through:
CHAIN DRIVE
The combination of 12 kW, 17 N·m and 5-speed gearing gives riders direct control over acceleration and engine response across changing off-road terrain.
🚀 60+ MPH ADVERTISED TOP SPEED
The Knight 250 is rated at:
60+ MPH
X-PRO specifies that actual speed depends on rider weight and road conditions.
Because this is a 60+ MPH dirt bike, it is intended for appropriately experienced riders and suitable off-road environments.
🔑 ELECTRIC + KICK START
Two starting systems are built in:
⚡ ELECTRIC START
Convenient push-button engine starting.
🦶 KICK START
A mechanical backup starting method.
The electrical system includes a:
12V / 5Ah BATTERY
This is a starter battery, not a propulsion battery. Since the Knight 250 is gasoline-powered, there is no EV battery range or electric charging time.
🛞 FULL-SIZE 21"/18" KNOBBY TIRES
The Knight 250 uses:
FRONT
80/100-21
REAR
100/90-18
The large front wheel helps the bike roll over uneven ground while the rear tire provides traction on suitable dirt and trail surfaces.
The manufacturer specifically highlights the 21"/18" knobby wheel combination as a major feature of the Knight 250.
🏁 FRONT SUSPENSION
The front uses:
NON-ADJUSTABLE FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER
The manufacturer does not publish a separate front suspension travel figure on the product page.
🔧 REAR SHOCK
At the rear is a:
NON-ADJUSTABLE SHOCK
Together, the front and rear suspension systems provide cushioning over normal recreational off-road terrain.
🛑 FRONT + REAR DISC BRAKES
The Knight 250 has dedicated disc brakes at both wheels:
FRONT
Disc brake
REAR
Disc brake
X-PRO specifically describes the front and rear hydraulic disc-brake system as providing strong, linear stopping power.
Important: The current product specification does not publish front/rear rotor diameters or caliper piston counts, so those figures should not be invented.
🧱 PERIMETER CRADLE STEEL FRAME
The Knight 250 uses a:
PERIMETER CRADLE TYPE STEEL FRAME
The frame is designed around the full-size geometry of the motorcycle, including its:
-
52" wheelbase
-
34" seat height
-
12" minimum ground clearance
-
176 lb maximum load
X-PRO specifically highlights the perimeter-cradle steel construction as part of the Knight's updated design.
📏 34" SEAT HEIGHT
The Knight 250 provides:
34-INCH SEAT HEIGHT
This gives it a full-size dirt-bike riding position while remaining lower than some larger 250cc platforms.
Fit should ultimately be determined by rider inseam, experience, footwear and ability to comfortably control the motorcycle.
⛰️ 12" GROUND CLEARANCE
The Knight provides:
12 INCHES MINIMUM GROUND CLEARANCE
That gives the chassis useful clearance over:
-
Dirt
-
Gravel
-
Ruts
-
Roots
-
Uneven trails
-
Small trail obstacles
X-PRO does not publish a maximum hill angle, so no unsupported climbing percentage is claimed.
📐 52" WHEELBASE
The:
52-INCH WHEELBASE
provides a substantial platform while remaining more compact than some larger dual-sport motorcycles.
X-PRO describes the wheelbase as contributing to rider control and comfort.
💡 LED HEADLIGHT
The Knight 250 includes an upgraded:
LED HEADLIGHT
The LED unit is designed to provide efficient illumination with less heat than a comparable halogen setup.
The current specification specifically lists the headlight; it does not list turn signals or a tail light as standard equipment.
🔊 HIGH-PERFORMANCE MUFFLER
The Knight includes an upgraded muffler designed to help:
-
Manage exhaust flow
-
Reduce exhaust noise
-
Safely discharge high-temperature exhaust gases
This is part of the upgraded Knight 250 equipment package.
🦶 OVERSIZED FOOT PEGS
The Knight 250 includes:
OVERSIZED FOOT PEGS
The larger platform gives the rider a stable place to position their feet during seated or standing off-road riding.
🛡️ ENGINE KILL SWITCH + FOOT BRAKE
The Knight includes:
🔴 ENGINE KILL SWITCH
For quickly shutting down the engine.
🦶 FOOT BRAKE
Dedicated rear-braking control.
