The Most Common Materials for Mini Bike Frame

 

While it is hard to distinguish the material from which a mini bike frame is built above the paint, the frames are not standardized. But what is common between frames of mini bikes is the capacity to carry a lot of weight while being very light. Hence, the material for a mini bike frame depends a great deal on the purpose of the mini bike like whether it is used for road cruising, dirt track racing, or more.



Here are some of the most-used materials for mini bike frames.

·        High-tensile Carbon Steel: Steel is the most common material for a mini bike frame. High tensile carbon steel is strong and durable but not light in weight.

·        Chromoly: This too is strong and durable but it is very light steel. The advantage is that Chromoly provides good flex while maintaining its form and is hence ideal for dirt or off-road riding.

·        Aluminum: The metal has been used for designing mini bike frames for generations as it is not expensive thereby lowering the cost of the bike. Aluminum provides a very stable ride even over very challenging terrain.

·        Titanium: A very expensive material, a mini bike frame made of titanium is used for bikes that are meant exclusively for dirt and cross-country racing. It makes for a comfortable ride and maintains its shape while flexing well.

·        Carbon fiber: It is like a bundle of parallel continuous fibers that are bound together with glue, creating a ply. Several plies are put together to form a laminate that is then designed into a mini bike frame. However, the frame will be brittle and will not flex.

Consider these aspects when buying a mini bike .

The Link Between A 212cc and 6.5hp Mini Bike Engine

Image
Is there a link between a 212cc and 6.5 hp engine? To start with, any engine is referred to both in cc and hp to denote its power and capacity. However, the common trend is to refer to an engine in cc only, even when its power is being indicated. This is because manufacturers invariably refer to an engine in cc only and this is followed by the dealers of spare parts and owners down the line. But as will be seen in this post, it is not right to use the terms cc and hp interchangeably. Let’s take the example of a 6.5 hp engine that roughly is the equivalent of 212cc. But there is a world of difference between the two. HP is a measure of the power of the engine and cc or cubic centimeters is a measure of the volume displaced by the cylinders of the engine. The reason why both are referred to in the same breath is that the more or lower the horsepower of the engine, the more or lower will be the displacement volume of the cylinders. Hence, a displacement of 212cc of the cylinders roug
