Fun Bikes: SSR SR125TR and SSR SR170TR
F
rom the looks of social media and the local tracks, the minibike craze is back! Not only do I see more new riders at our local OHV areas these days, but adults are also getting back into the pit bike/ backyard theme. Established in 2002, SSR Motorsports originally imported and distributed powersports products and were mostly known for their mini- bikes, which became their focus. (As the business grew, they added ATVs and UTVs to their off-road selection as well.) Luckily for my son and I, we have a big desert in our backyard to ride SSR’s SR125 and SR170 TRs. We made a makeshift turn track for some good old-fashioned father-son competition, and we had a blast. The SR125/170 TRs have four-speed manual transmissions, are Mikuni carbureted, have disc brakes, are double-bar steel framed, and come with a 30-day warranty on all parts.
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
