We have had many complaints about the quality of the Chinese Pit Bikes with bits falling and breaking off with shocking ease we at Pit Bike Heaven have experienced this ourselves. However not all of the Chinese pit bikes are this poor quality, there are two provinces in China that produce Pit Bikes one of them is made up of Toy factories, this is where all the cheaply made Pit Bikes come from, then there is the other province which is made up of Car and Motorbike factories these factories have standards which they have to meet as they also produce motorbikes and cars for the road. The main problem is people don’t want to pay £600 plus for a Pit Bike but in reality if you want a bike to last this is what you have to do.

We will list some bikes and prices on the site very shortly but for now the best guideline is to get a Pit Bike that uses a jialing engine, as they produce engines for Honda. These Pit Bikes will cost you a bit more but will last you that much longer its worth the extra money if you have a grand going spare head over to monstermoto.co.uk.

There are many different brands making Pit Bikes at the moment from the cheap and chearful Chinese bikes to the not so cheap Japanese ones. I think the Chinese pit bikes are the best value for money and when you see the frames they are producing this year you will see that the Chinese Pit Bikes have landed.

We will try to get you all the tuning info and a list of where to get parts please go to the pit bike forum and tell us what you want to see or post some tuning guides for the visitors
