X-PRO Hawk 250 (Dual Sport)
The X-PRO Hawk 250 (Dual Sport) has a top speed of 105 km/h, produces 14 hp and weighs 132 kg.
The Hawk 250 appeared in the mid-2010s as one of several US-market rebadges of the Chinese Zongshen/Shineray-built 229cc dual-sport, sold online by importers such as X-PRO, Lifan and RPS. It became notable simply for its price — often under $1,500 crated and shipped — making it the cheapest street-legal dual-sport available in America, and a favorite of budget riders and YouTube wrenchers.

Що повинні знати покупці
Bargain crate bike
Used examples typically sell for a few hundred to around a thousand dollars, so condition and whether the previous owner actually assembled it properly matters far more than mileage. Check that the title/VIN paperwork exists — many were never registered because the importer paperwork was lost.
Assembly and quality issues
These ship 85% assembled and commonly leave the crate with loose or under-torqued fasteners, missing thread locker, a poorly jetted carburetor and no oil; failures usually trace back to that rather than the engine design. Weak points include the stock chain and sprockets, cheap tires, flimsy electrical connectors, leaking petcock, and a tendency for the countershaft/shift mechanism and rear shock to wear quickly.
Simple CG-clone upkeep
The air-cooled CG-type 229cc engine is a Honda-derived clone: change the oil every 800–1,600 km, check valve clearances and the clutch cable regularly, and clean the air filter often since the stock one is marginal. Parts are dirt cheap and interchangeable across many Chinese 200–250cc bikes, but expect to replace the chain, sprockets, cables and tires early with better-quality aftermarket items.
