Keeway TX 50 Supermoto
2010
2010
The Keeway TX 50 Supermoto, released in 2010, was a budget-friendly entry into the supermoto category, aimed at younger riders or those seeking an affordable and manageable machine. While not part of a long lineage of TX models, it offered a supermoto styling at a price point that made it accessible to many. A direct competitor to the TX 50 would have been models like the Rieju MRT 50 SM, offering similar displacement and intended use.
Powering the Keeway TX 50 Supermoto is a small but willing 49.6 ccm (3.03 cubic inches) engine. This displacement classifies it firmly within the moped or small motorcycle category, often subject to specific licensing and speed restrictions in various regions. The engine produces a modest 2.6 Nm (0.3 kgf-m or 1.9 ft.lbs) of torque at 3000 RPM, meaning it requires revving to get the most out of it. This translates to a top speed of around 45.0 km/h (28.0 mph), making it suitable primarily for urban environments or short commutes. The fuel tank has a capacity of 10.00 litres (2.64 US gallons), providing a decent range for its intended use. The bike itself weighs in at 98.0 kg (216.1 pounds), making it easy to handle and maneuver, especially for new riders.
The riding position on the TX 50 Supermoto is typical of the style, with an upright stance providing good visibility in traffic. The lightweight nature of the motorcycle contributes to easy handling and nimble cornering. Suspension is basic, as expected at this price point, but adequate for navigating city streets and tackling minor imperfections in the road surface. Seat comfort is acceptable for shorter rides, but extended journeys may become tiring due to the small engine and limited suspension travel.
The Keeway TX 50 Supermoto 2010 was primarily targeted at young riders, beginners, or those seeking an inexpensive and practical mode of transportation for short distances. Its affordability and ease of use made it an attractive option for navigating urban environments. While it lacks the power and refinement of larger displacement supermotos, it provides a fun and accessible entry point into the world of motorcycling, fulfilling a specific need for budget-conscious riders needing basic transportation.
