The smaller the engine, the more important the power – and the 150 XC’s engine certainly draws extreme power from the cylinder. Power-packed with playful handling, this bike is unbeatable in its class. A smaller engine demands a special gearbox designed for extreme conditions. The 150 XC has a higher fourth, fifth and sixth gear compared to its moto-focused 150 SX sibling.
