2011 · Minibike-cross
The 2011 Lem RX3 Racing represents a focused entry in the competitive minibike-cross category. This model continued Lem's tradition of producing compact, high-performance off-road machines, aiming to provide a potent platform for young riders and enthusiasts. In its segment, it squared off against established contenders like the KTM 50 SX and the Cobra CX50, carving out its niche with specific design choices and engine architecture.
At the heart of the RX3 Racing is a potent 49.80 ccm (3.04 cubic inches) Morini S6-C engine. This two-stroke powerplant features an aluminium cylinder and 4-petal carbon fibre reed valves, designed for responsive power delivery. It produces a substantial 12.80 HP (9.3 kW) at a screaming 13500 RPM, indicating its high-revving, competition-oriented nature. With a remarkably low dry weight of just 42.0 kg (92.6 pounds), the power-to-weight ratio is impressive for its class, promising lively acceleration and agile handling on the track. Fuel capacity is a compact 2.01 litres (0.53 gallons), typical for a machine intended for short, intense races.
Riding characteristics of the RX3 Racing are undoubtedly geared towards competitive minibike-cross. The low seat height of 675 mm (26.6 inches) – likely its lowest adjustable setting – makes it accessible for younger riders to manage and control. Its lightweight chassis and compact dimensions contribute to sharp, responsive handling, essential for navigating tight turns and jumps on a motocross track. The focus is on providing a nimble and controllable experience, allowing riders to exploit its engine's high-revving powerband effectively.
The Lem RX3 Racing 2011 is clearly aimed at junior motocross racers and serious enthusiasts looking for a dedicated competition machine in the 50cc class. Its Morini engine, lightweight construction, and high power output underscore its purpose as a serious tool for the track. For those seeking a competitive edge and a robust platform for developing off-road riding skills, the RX3 Racing offers a compelling package within the minibike-cross segment.
