I've owned one of these bikes since around December 06. So far the only thing that has broken is the throttle cable (which seems to happen on alot of bikes). The frame probably could be stronger and looks weaker than others. Forks are way to soft for my weight (~94kg) and bottom out all the time. Not sure if alot of other bikes would do this anyway. They can't be adjusted either. I am thinking of upgrading the forks but not sure if it's worth it. I've never used the electric start - as I pulled the inside out before even trying it, so can't comment on it's reliability but I can't see why it would be unreliable? I agree the footbreak is kinda crap, but I think the problem is in the lever - if you upgraded to a better lever it would be fine. The best thing for sure on this bike is the engine. The Ducar 125cc has gone hard since day one and hasn't missed a beat. I havn't ridden a Lifan so I can't compare, but I am definitely happy with the Ducar. Probably give the bike overall 6/10.

OK update after owning bike for 8 months:
Have snapped another throttle cable on my bike (was not from Atomik but generally these must be poor quality).
The rear shock fell apart whilst riding over some big bumps. Rear shock thread has been damaged. Will need to get new rear shock.
Engine has been dieing due to an electrical connection problem (which I think I have now resolved).

Update after 13 months ownership:
Frame has a crack in it on the rear shock mount.
Rear wheel dented.
Blowing a bit of smoke.
Bike is stuffed. Considering my weight and the abuse I have thrown at it, I suppose this was always going to happen.

Theses bikes can be good if proper care and preperation is taken. Just like all things, Apart from Foxico and MTB HA!

Hi
ive had one of these bikes for 5 months now. I have had no problems what so ever but saying that have not jumped it heaps high. I have purchased new pro taper bars, uni air filter, flat seat, clutch lever, grips and new plastics. I am very happy with it. Just wondering if anyone knows if the new atomik RS or Nitrous are any good
thanks

[benox]

Yep, I've had both! The RS and I've currently got the nitrous.. They are both awesome!

my girlfriend has this bike. got primarily cause it was cheap with an electric start, kickstart bolt broke, elect start doesn't work first time but meant to kick start for warm up anyway, after short engine run its fine. hasnt got alot in it (guts) but is a smooth ride, great for beginners but not for jumps. front forks constantly bottom out when i am riding it, even when she is if any air is caught. rear break to tough for her weight, but for me it seemed fine, i mostly gear break though to use 2 road bike.

great put put bike, but not for jumps.

I hear ya about the front forks. My bro got one and they are extremely soft. We will change the oil to something a bit heavier. And we had no probs with the electric start. Worked like a charm. At least once we worked out you had to pull the front brake in for it to work! It was cheap too at $506.

hey i have one of those, got it in december last year.
some problems with it are;
- blows smoke
- shit forks
- non highrise seat (but that doesn't bother me)
- took me an hour to start it. but we re did the valves to its all good now

and thats about it...except for the battery keeps falling out lol.

7/10 imo
