While the 125cc pit bike is ideal for a youngster to do great ramp stunts, a 140cc bike gives you that extra edge, a little more power and a little more torque. You need to understand that whenever you choose a pit bike with a larger engine capacity, you are talking about extra bulk, not just in terms of the heavier engine, but the larger frame, forks, entire suspension unit and body that goes with it.

Consult a Braaaps professional for the right 140cc bike for you, if you not familiar with the safety and design requirements on this type of pit bike. If you are upgrading from a 110 or a 125cc bike to a 140, the difference in the weight won’t be as much as in the case of upgrading to, say, a 200cc. Braaaps has a way of lightening the whole frame and the body using lightweight but extremely sturdy new age alloys, thereby compensating for the bulk added by the larger engine.

Always upgrade to a heavier engine, which translates to a heavier bike, only if you are prepared to handle it. Remember that when you are on the mini motocross track, the total bike weight is the combined weight of bike plus its rider. The heavier the bike, the more difficult it will be to achieve high jumps, spontaneous wheelies and free styling ramp riding.
