SYX MOTO Holeshot Z 50cc Kids Dirt Bike vs Honda CRF50F

Pick the Honda CRF50F if you want the most proven kids' first bike. Its three-speed automatic-clutch gearbox, keyed ignition, adjustable throttle limiter and huge dealer and parts network make it easier to live with. The SYX MOTO Holeshot Z counters with a larger 54.7cc engine, a higher 27 mph top speed, front and rear disc brakes, longer suspension travel and a lower weight, so it suits a slightly bigger or more confident rider. Owners of the Honda praise durability and resale; SYX owners like the disc brakes and low seat but note thinner dealer support.

• Choose the SYX MOTO Holeshot Z if your rider is 12 or older, wants more speed and disc brakes, and you are comfortable doing your own maintenance.
• Choose the Honda CRF50F if you want the smallest, lightest, most proven first bike with a keyed ignition, a real dealer network and strong resale.
