2016
2016
The 2016 Polini Motard Racing H2O 70 is a specialized machine designed for the competitive and enthusiast youth off-road and supermoto segments. This model builds on Polini's long-standing reputation for crafting high-performance mini-bikes and small-displacement racers. It fits squarely within the mini-motard category, competing directly with models like the Metrakit Mini GP and various heavily modified pocket bikes, offering a step up in displacement and capability for aspiring racers.
At the heart of the Motard Racing H2O 70 is a potent 69.3 ccm (4.23 cubic inches) single-cylinder, two-stroke engine. This liquid-cooled powerplant is engineered for sharp throttle response and robust power delivery, characteristic of two-stroke racing machines. With a remarkably low dry weight of just 43.0 kg (94.8 pounds), the power-to-weight ratio is a significant factor in its agile handling. The fuel capacity is 3.00 litres (0.79 US gallons), which is ample for its intended short-burst racing applications.
Riding characteristics of the H2O 70 are decidedly race-focused. The compact chassis and lightweight design contribute to its exceptional maneuverability on tight tracks. The seat height, at a low 600 mm (23.6 inches) (if adjustable, this is the lowest setting), allows for easy ground reach and confidence, crucial for younger riders or those new to competitive riding. Its mini-motard setup emphasizes quick direction changes and aggressive cornering, making it a demanding yet rewarding ride for those pushing its limits on kart tracks or purpose-built mini-moto circuits.
The target audience for the Polini Motard Racing H2O 70 is primarily young riders transitioning from smaller pocket bikes, or experienced mini-moto racers seeking a competitive edge. It's also a compelling option for adult enthusiasts looking for a fun, track-day specific machine. This isn't a street-legal bike, but rather a dedicated racing tool. Its specialized nature and high-performance components make it a serious contender in its niche, offering a focused and engaging experience for riders honing their skills.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• High-performance 70cc kit significantly boosts power and torque over stock 50cc engines. • Liquid cooling (H2O) ensures consistent operating temperatures, improving reliability and preventing overheating during hard use. • Designed for racing, offering sharper throttle response and stronger acceleration ideal for competition or spirited riding. • Polini's reputation guarantees quality materials and precise engineering, leading to better durability than cheaper alternatives. • Comprehensive kit includes cylinder, piston, head, and gaskets, simplifying installation for a complete performance upgrade.⚠️ Things to consider
• Requires a complete engine teardown and expert mechanical knowledge for proper installation and tuning. • Increased engine wear and reduced longevity compared to a stock 50cc engine due to higher stresses and performance. • Likely illegal for street use in many regions, restricting its application to off-road or private track environments. • Significantly higher fuel consumption and specific oil requirements compared to a standard 50cc setup. • Requires additional supporting modifications (carburetor, exhaust) to fully exploit its performance potential, increasing overall cost.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
