This has to be the coolest thing we've seen in a while - this 1/5th scale off road motoX bike by Anderson which is now being distributed exclusively by Schumacher in the UK.

Schumacher: This is sure to be an excellent product with its go anywhere capabilities unlike most of the current bikes on the market. The bike is built with a solid aluminium chassis with specially designed rear wheel gyro system which enables awesome stability even on the roughest terrains! (See the video's here if you don't believe us!!!) (http://www.racing-cars.com/main.asp?sitepages=bike)

One of the great features of this bike is its super easy to use design, and with pistol grip radio it's no problem for beginner or expert alike!

Now That............ is Awesome!!!!

Haha

Love the off road video on the Schumacher site, looks wicked!!!!

If they could take these to some of the British MX Championship rounds, they would sell Hundreds!!!

[simoncrabb]

That's fantastic, the on-road bikes that are available at the moment are so difficult. But one that jumps! Ace!

[mambamax]

it makes the arx-540 look well over priced for what looks to be the same bike

[Marvin]

You say that but the ARX540 is bigger, and the material quality is higher.

Do like the looks of it though!

[jimmy]

The ARX looks to have a dwarf riding it :bored:

[DCM]

to be fair, they both look like wobbly jellies, and need weighted wheels to sop them being rather random.... look fun though, similar to the old Radio Shack Ricky Charmichael one.

[jimmy]

defintely look better stood still than going round - but I'd defo bash one around in mi local quarry, looks ace fun.

[DCM]

they do look a hoot, the Schumacher one, look nicer though!!

Did you ever see the guy that converted his one to a Nitro bike? That was pretty cool - i think it's on Youtube if you search for it.

[DCM]

Yeah, I seen it, there are lots showing a rear wheel gyro too.

[dodgydiy]

gyro system??? isnt it just a weighted wheel?

[mrspeedy]

Nope, its a big spinny thing inside the back wheel .... looks like it works well too

Anderson stuff is ace ..... their ST is the best micro by a longoshot :thumbsup:
