The larger the displacement, the greater the size and power of the dirt bike's engine. Keep in mind that heavier, bigger bikes need a larger displacement just to reach the same speeds as smaller bikes, so the bike with the largest displacement isn't necessarily the fastest. Also, know that a two-stroke dirt bike with a certain displacement can match or exceed the power of a four-stroke bike with a larger displacement.

Dimensions
The weight of a dirt bike has a large overall affect on its handling: the lighter it is, the better it will go around turns, all else being equal. Low weight is especially important when choosing between Motocross dirt bikes, due to the nature of the sport. When comparing dirt bikes in a similar class, taking weight into consideration can help ensure that you end up with a dirt bike that you'll love to ride.
Weight 229 lbs
Weight Classification Dry
A decision on proper seat height should be made based on rider size and height. A young rider will require a dirt bike with a lower seat height in order to comfortably reach the ground with one or both feet.
Seat Height 39.06 in
Wheelbase 58.86 in
Especially applicable to Motocross bikes, having extra ground clearance helps when taking sharp corners: a dirt bike with little ground clearance is more prone to scraping the ground with its frame when the rider leans into a tight corner.
Ground Clearance 15.55 in
