Thinking about getting a new Minibike? They have been around for a long time, but there are still some who believe that minibike is made for kids. In reality, you’ll be able to find Adult drivers on a minibike just as commonly as a kid.
Massimo Motor Sports is the most popular Minibike manufacturer alongside the Chinese-manufactured Coleman Minibikes. The MB200 from Massimo is a very similar minibike to the Baja Warrior MB200.
If you’re old enough to have driven the Baja warrior mini bike in the past, you can expect a very similar minibike just from a different brand. Baja mini bikes have been discontinued. Currently, the most popular alternative to Massimo MB200 is, Coleman CT200U-EX and Trailmaster MB200.
Aesthetics and Colors
A minibike should look cool to go along with the performance (at least in our opinion). Aesthetically these mini bikes are very pleasing (you can decide for yourself!).
They are available in 5 colors, Black, Red, Camo, Quicksand, and Silver. All the colors are available if you buy directly from Massimo’s website and Walmart, the ones available on Amazon have Camo color.

Massimo MB200 Specs & Features
Looks and Colors are important and all, but to judge a mini bike correctly, we need to know the specs!
Engine
Massimo MB200 uses a Honda GX200’s clone engine. As is the case with most minibikes. The engine produces 6.5 hp power and has 196cc displacement.
| Engine Type | 4-Stroke, Over Head Valve and Single Cylinder |
| Carburetor | EPA approved Carburetor, .028″ main and .016″ pilot jet |
| Engine Cooling | Air cooling |
| Engine Fuel | Gasoline with an octane level of 87, < 10% ethanol, or < 5% methanol; E15/E20/E85 fuels are prohibited |
| Fuel Capacity | .82 Gallons |
| Bore x Stroke Ratio | 68×54 mm (2.68×2.13 in) |
| Valve Clearance (Int/Ex) | 0.10 ± 0.15 mm / 0.15 ± 0.20 mm |
| Compression Ratio | 8.5:1 |
| Displacement | 196cm³ / 11.96in³ |
| Horsepower | 6.5 hp |
| Rated Torque | 8.11 ft-lb @ 2,500 RPM |
| Top Speed | 25 mph – advertised (may vary depending on the Weight of the Driver) |
A very fair comparison for this engine will be the Predator 212 just with 16cc less displacement. The engine is governor restricted to 3600 rpm.
The engine can be heavily modified since they have been around for a while(more about modifications later in the article). It can be completely replaced too with a better performance engine like Tillotson 212 or Ducar 212.
Transmission/Final Drive
Massimo mb200 uses a centrifugal clutch as the transmission system. A centrifugal clutch engages and disengages automatically only depending on the Engine’s rpm. Gearing is fixed to 10:1 from the factory, it can be changed by changing the sprockets.
| Clutch | Centrifugal Clutch |
| Sprocket | 20T front sprocket, 50T rear sprocket |
| Gear Ratio | 10:1 |
The Clutch will need proper maintenance (cleaning and lubrication) after every 5 hours of use. 30W motor oil is the recommended oil for lubrication. No lubrication for a long time can cause the clutch to jam and not disengage, which will cause your mini bike to move as soon as you start.
There is alternative Transmission systems available for the Massimo minibike such as Torque Converter/ CVT.
Tires & Brakes
Massimo MB-200 uses 19″x7-8″ tires for both front and back wheels. It can be replaced with the Kenda Pathfinder K530 ATV tires for a better experience in off-road trails.
The brake system used are drum brakes. Brake shoes might need replacement from time to time if they get worn out. That is one downside of the drum brakes.
