Apollo Thunder 150 Dirt Bike

Apollo Thunder 150 Dirt Bike – Rugged Reliability Meets Dirt-Track Thrills

At its heart lies a YX 140cc, 4-stroke, air-cooled single-cylinder engine, delivering about 11 HP and 10.2 Nm of torque. Paired with a 4-speed manual transmission (N-1-2-3-4) and kick-start ignition, it brings classic control with throttle-ready power. The chain drive drivetrain, rugged and low-maintenance, transfers that energy directly to the rear wheel, ensuring consistent traction on any terrain.

Frame, Suspension & Wheels

Built on a double-beam heavy-duty steel frame, this bike stands tough against trail wear and tear. The beefy chassis supports inverted front forks (non-adjustable, SYD brand) and an adjustable SYD rear shock, delivering around 14.5 inches of ground clearance—ideal for navigating roots, ruts, and rocky patches. Both front (19″) and rear (16″) wheels feature off-road tires for confident grip across mud, sand, gravel, and more.

Braking & Control

Safety and precision come courtesy of hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, giving you strong stopping control when speed meets rough trail moments. The aluminum handlebar, crossbar, and triple clamp bring lightness and rigidity—so you control the bike with ease, even when tackling tight turns.

Dimensions, Ergonomics & Utility

With a seat height of roughly 34.5 inches and an overall frame dimension of approximately 74″ L x 30.7″ W x 48″ H, the Thunder 150 strikes a smart balance—accommodating younger riders while feeling mature for adult riders. The wheelbase spans about 49.2 inches with a weight of 192 lbs (net), requiring modest operator strength for mounting and maneuvering.
