FX Mountain Moto | Unique Features and Benefits
World’s lightest adult-sized performance-off-road motorcycle
World’s first crossover between top-end downhill mountain bikes and dirt bikes – its a whole new category of powered two wheeler
125lb (57kg) ready-to-ride means a totally new kind of riding and exploration – ride, carry, walk, lift, float over otherwise impassable obstacles
125lb means 2 bikes can be carried on a suitable vehicle-mounted carrier
Standard Honda-Jailing engine (recommended) has plenty of power to climb REALLY steep hills easily with the largest of riders in contol
31” seat height is unique for a high-spec dirt bike, virtually anyone can touch the ground when they need to, great clearance for stand-up riding and control for extreme terrain
Unique design that strips all the bloat from conventional heavy motorcycles and leaves only what you need
Designed and developed in New Zealand, spawning ground of the Hamilton jetboat, the World’s Fastest Indian, the bungy jump, the Britten Motorcycle, the Martin Jetpack, the YikeBike, …
Tested and evaluated by NZ Army and Special Forces, NZ Police Search and Rescue, US Army, US Navy SEALs, champions of motocross, Supercross, enduro, trials, Downhill mountain biking, BMX…and people who’ve never ridden motorcycles in their life!
FX originally saw the Mountain Moto as a defense product, but for a number of reasons we have decided to focus on the off-road and dual sport/recreation markets at first.
However, if “friendly” military and relief organizations are interested in our commercially produced models, we’re happy to talk, in defense language of course, using plenty of serious words like gradeability and TLAs (three letter acronyms)…starting with a new name…SLM.

World’s lightest performance off-road motorcycle: 125lb (57kg) ready to ride
Right now we are in development of 5th generation (FX-5) Mountain Motos in stealth mode (top secret!)
We’d love to show you the FX-5 (it is looking awesome!), but we can’t until all our patents are in place.
