Review
The 2015 Bam XBX 200-DB Outback steps up in displacement with its 196cc engine, offering a bit more performance than the 150cc models. While torque remains modest at 13.0 Nm at 7500 RPM, the larger engine should provide a noticeable boost in acceleration and overall power. The 5-speed gearbox allows for precise control over the engine's output. The Outback's weight increases to 125.2 kg, which is still relatively light, ensuring reasonable handling. The ergonomics of the Outback are geared towards off-road capability, as hinted by its name. The taller 838mm seat height provides greater ground clearance and allows for more aggressive riding postures when standing. The inverted front forks suggest a focus on improved suspension performance for handling rough terrain. However, the small 5-liter fuel tank limits its range for extended off-road adventures. This motorcycle is likely targeted at riders looking for an entry-level off-road machine or a dual-sport capable of handling both on-road and light off-road riding. The larger engine offers a bit more power for tackling challenging terrain, while the taller seat height and inverted forks enhance its off-road capabilities. However, the limited fuel capacity may require careful planning for longer rides.
