Bike choices for little ripper
- Thread starter Uncle Bob
- Start date
I’d like to know as well. I haven’t looked close to see. What options are out there for upgrading the track or even modifying a different kit to fit a 65 or 80? May as well consider all options!

Ya its kinda a catch 22 here, any kid that is capable enough to ride a snow bike won't be on a 110cc four stroke anymore. So now parents have to buy another bike that no one is going to be interested in riding in the summer. i commend you for trying but Kinda dropped the ball on this one Timbersled.
The track is just as lacking.
It’s the same story as the 120 sleds.
Parking lot Machines.
My son is 5 and on a ktm adventure JR. seat height is a little lower than a 110 Honda. Weighs a little more than half of the Honda!!
I was thinking I’ll have to build/fab something from maybe an old 125 2t and an older timbersled kit. Cut the sides of the track on a good angle so it turns a little better, fab a mount... idk

I did a CRF150R for my son with a mototrax 121 kit. Bike and kit worked awesome all winter long. I am stoked to get him back on it this year. He went places that blew my mind!!

Narrowed 2 Moto track on Ripper?
The ripper track is 90" x 6" x.75"
2moto track is 93" x 11" x 2"
Not sure if the ripper uses clip tack or not, but a possiblity.

Ripper is center drive.
2moto is dual rail standard spacing.
You won’t be able to get 6” wide with the center driver.
Using a 15” wide track will get you that.
Splicing the track shouldn’t be a problem for low(er) power bikes.

I have also been looking for kits/ways to get one hooked up to my heavily modified Honda Grom. perfect seat height for my cousins with more power than a 110. they really want to go riding with me but im afraid the KLX 110 is under powered for them. ive emailed most manufacturers so i will post if anything develops. trying to get the younger generation interested!!
So far I am disappointed with the ripper on klx. Ski pressure vs traction, and carb issues.
My son is almost 8. Tallest kid in his grade 2 class. But the ripper is still to tall for him by a little bit on klx 110. I think you might be planning 10 year ahead thinking about a 125 t2. He hasn’t ridden the 110 with wheels but last time he rode a Honda 50 with 2 ktm 50’s, one big wheel one small, both kids where crying when they couldn’t keep up. But seat time and having gears to shift might be a factor.
Maybe my expectations are too high since it’s mostly been me doing the test driving to see if it’s worth the time trying to lower it a bit. But my first impressions, it can’t compeat with our 250 cc long track sled and they need to be a pretty big kid to ride it, they are Gonna choose the sled over it for any real riding. Might go up for sale and close to edmonton if your interested. Might be a diiferent opinion if we didn’t have a sled that fits and kicks its ***!
My 11 year old rides a yz450f with ts st.
Works great.
Forget the toy bikes and just put the boy on a full size.
He probably needs help tipping it up 3-4 times a day.
Way better than when he’s on a sled which equals 3-4 full stucks.
