The 2011 Puma Rottaler 50 Motard emerges from a lineage focused on accessible, supermoto-styled machines. This model year continued Puma's offering in the competitive 50cc market, directly challenging popular models like the Aprilia SX 50 and Derbi Senda DRD X-Treme 50 SM. Designed for riders seeking the aggressive aesthetics and agile handling of a supermotard in a learner-legal package, the Rottaler 50 carved out its niche by providing a distinct alternative in the entry-level segment.
At its heart, the Puma Rottaler 50 Motard features a single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 50.00 ccm (3.05 cubic inches). This powerplant generates 4.16 HP (3.0 kW), propelling the bike to a top speed of 45.0 km/h (28.0 mph). Fuel capacity stands at 10.00 litres (2.64 gallons), offering a reasonable range for its intended use. Weighing in at 120.0 kg (264.6 pounds), the Rottaler 50 is on the heavier side for a 50cc machine, influencing its overall acceleration and handling characteristics. The four-stroke engine configuration prioritizes reliability and fuel efficiency, making it a practical choice for daily riding.
Riding the Rottaler 50 Motard offers an experience characteristic of the supermotard category. With a seat height of 910 mm (35.8 inches) at its lowest setting, riders are placed in a commanding, upright stance, typical of supermoto bikes, allowing for excellent visibility and control. The high seat and narrow profile facilitate easy maneuverability through urban environments, embodying the category's agile spirit. While the suspension setup is designed for comfort on varied surfaces, the bike's overall weight might require a more deliberate approach to tight corners compared to lighter competitors. Its relatively modest power output means it excels in navigating congested areas and less demanding routes.
The Puma Rottaler 50 Motard is primarily aimed at new riders, particularly teenagers and those transitioning from scooters, who are drawn to the aggressive styling and upright ergonomics of supermotard motorcycles. It serves as an excellent stepping stone for developing riding skills before moving to larger displacement bikes. Its learner-legal status and manageable performance make it a sensible option for commuting and recreational riding within urban and suburban settings. For those seeking a distinctive 50cc supermotard with a focus on practicality and a robust build, the Rottaler 50 provides a compelling choice in its category.
