Losi Promoto-MX RC Bike

I didn't know I needed an RC bike until I saw this...

Oh dear I wasn't going to buy another rc for a while🤔but I dread to think of the price.

I need one of these, the price is $500 not sure what it will work out to over here for us though…

I'm going to guess £600-650 for us but I seriously want one. I would want all the shiny bits they're going to release as well as the Supermoto pro line tyres for it though 🤣

Haha. Thats insane!

That reminds me of the Anderson m5 that was out a few years ago

Wow, those are really impressive! They look WAY better than any RC bike I've ever seen.

 

The suspension movement is semi-realistic, with some proper bump-absorption. Ever other RC bike I've seen actually looks like a toy, sort of ricocheting around.

Yeh it does look realistic and with the riders head bobbing up and down adds to it 

Its an illusion - I’d be forever traipsing over go where it had fell over 🤣

Wasn't expecting that from Losi at all.  Losi obviously thought a lot about this and incorporated some nice features to make it better to drive and with a lot of realism.  I just can't overlook the stabiliser wheels though.  I know it is more or less essential on such a product but it really spoils the overall look.

Don’t get all the hype rc bikes have been around for years it’s nothing new, it’s just an upgraded version. 
 

like anything Losi though spares will be a PITA for the first 6 months to a year so by that time folks will have forgotten about it. Dare say it will be silly money here in the U.K. as well. 
 

Just the same old typical freebie YouTubers giving it the wow it’s incredible it’s insane it’s a must have rubbish 

Nearly £800 with battery and charger.Thats to much unfortunately.For another £280 I could buy another x maxx.

£710 on Modelsport, so much for me getting one 🙁

$549 from amain hobbies, I would be tempted to take a chance and order one from there.

apart from you'll get hit with a massive customs bill, like I did when returning my castle combo.

Even if you did get hit with customs I think it'll still work out cheaper. Current conversion rate makes $549 around £433ish without shipping etc. Plus chances are you'd get it considerably faster than UK model shops. 

Either way I think I'll just have to give it a miss.

I nearly fell off the chair laughing £719 😂

Not a chance at that price! Maybe they like them so much they want to keep them all for themselves!

Honestly at that price they're more than welcome to keep them. 

Far to expensive 

The UK pricing is just ridiculous, just buy it from Amain save a pretty penny and buy some hopups too..!!

If you think the bike's expensive over here, go look at the price of the hopup parts in the UK.!!!

That's a ridiculous price. My goodness!

 

That's only £80 less than I paid for my Alfa Romeo! 

Its £100 more than i paid for a brand new 1/1 Honda 250 motorbike in 1976
