GPX Moto TSE 250R review 2022 - Are Chinese enduro bikes any good? First UK review

I was lucky enough to be one of the first people in the UK to test ride the GPX Moto TSE250R.

The GPX Moto are obviously heavily influenced by the KTM enduro bikes and use an engine manufactured under Yamaha licence. But for just £4950 can they actually be a worthwhile option?

Stick around to hear my thoughts on the bike. I'm not the most accomplished off-road rider but I can tell if a bike is a lemon or not!

I've been riding my GPX TSE 250r for over a year and a half now and still love the bike. For reference my previous bike was a 2015 ktm 500exc. I originally thought I was taking a chance buying a cheap new bike over a used name brand but now I don't see myself wanting to sell or "upgrade" to anything else anytime soon. I have raced enduro, done crazy hill climbs with friends and went on slow trail rides with new riders and my GPX has been wonderful for me.

The key is a HUGE deal for me. My only complaint with the European Enduro bikes is that I'd have to lock my butt to the seat instead of being able to walk in to the fuel station for a snack. Excellent execution of your script, my good man; you've done us a solid favor.

For people interested in these, I have a kayo kt250 equivalent. they have a ktm style frame, plastics and similar tank. The air box is a direct clone of a ktm air box. Yamaha dt230 cloned engine. Many of the parts are interchangeable. The suspension is crf450 cloned. The wheels are interchangeable with a specific year of crf250. They are good, fairly fast, and seemingly reliable machines. The suspension is a little soft but fully adjustable and there are people who can revalve them. If you buy the kayo you’ll save money but you’ll want to upgrade the pipe and reeds for the full power capabilities. Like those two mods make an insane difference on power. These things lug for days. If you need parts you don’t have to source them from China, you can buy the name brand equivalent from a ktm, Honda, or Yamaha. Also the dealer can get all the parts.

My GPX arrived broken out of the crate.... Once I got that sorted out, the bike only lasted a couple months of hard riding before multiple issues started popping up, which kept the bike down for months. While it was down I went nuts trying to find information and parts.
The ignition switch was one of the first things to go....

WOW! what freaking awesome production and presentation on this video, maybe the new logo has something to do with it!? But honestly, this a very high quality, love the leaf effects too 🍂🍂 Well done Tom.

I’m not really a 2 stroke fan, but I’d deffo give this a ride! 👊🏻

I say this you deserve more subs!! honestly though i really enjoy your videos, motivates me to do more! also shout out to the camera guy climbing up in the trees! dedication hahahaa

Funny how people keep saying they would stick with ktm Yamaha etc. Reality is if people could afford to buy them they would. Id rather brand new vs used with unknown issues l. Parts availability lol i waited months for a crf 300l clutch lever & 6 months for the plastics. Every first gen bike will have issues with parts if you are one of the first people to own one. Quality control is my concerns (I've bought x50+ bikes in the last 2years, so I have an idea what I'm talking about)

Great production with the video. I would love to see the bike tested in normal enduro conditions though. I think every bike seems pretty good in soft leafy loam 2 track 😀

[craca]

Glad this video popped up I was looking for a video like this, instant like from me!

I’ll do a review video on mine tomorrow. I finally hit over 100 miles on it.

I've heard from KTM guys that the KTM frames are manufactured in China along with many other KTM components, shipped to Austria, and then assembled with the rest of the Austrian manufactured components into complete bikes, then exported. A global market is every where.

Nice set of riding gear Tom, no hiding in the bushes when the plod come and nick you for riding in the woods! I bought a Husky TE300 2015 with 16 hours on it for five grand, three years ago. Time will tell if the Orientals can convince us the products they build are fit for purpose, whatever the price? Keep up to good work.

[cuntymckuntface]

Just stumbled across these bikes, your review was great. They certainly can’t be ignored for the price!

[tieoneon]

Great bikes, that grey is sharp. To be honest and fair to who is interested, they are 273lbs wet without the dual sport equipment and closer to 30hp.

[Steveman]

What makes me scratching my head is, how do I get spare parts and accessories like rad guards and stuff for such a niche product? There isn't even an importer over here....

[leojsille]

Excellent review! After owning more than 20 KTM’s, I now ride a GPX….

[lintondean]

The rear shock has 2 settings for the lower bolt - for 2 ride heights and slide the forks up to suit .

[melkerpersson]

Would love to see and hear moore of those in sweden !!!💪💪

[donaldgrant]

Been wondering about these bikes, that you for doing this video.

[billyxiong]

You are correct my brother always say Honda’s and Kawasaki are the best but like you said you have to ride it first to feel how the bike runs
