Te aconsejo que no compres un X5. La verdad es que son muy bonitas y las especificaciones son muy tentadoras especialmente cuando tengamos en cuenta el precio ajustado. Pero el X5 es...

Axerinchina,

Thanks for your feedback, anyone that used to ride an Royal Enfield has good taste :-)

How does the X5 perform off road ? Does it have good traction when climbing ? How does the...

Hi Alexinchina,

Good to hear that all seems to be going well so far with your X5.

What are you riding impressions both on road and off road ? Have you done any upgrades so far, or are you...

The lack of a breater on the petrol tank is a real classic, all the manufacturers knew about that before the 1st Word War ! And even better that the fatory hs probably received feedback on this...

I started getting my hand dirty on bikes when I was about...

Bikerdoc,

I am definately not getting one of these, my pleasure time is limited and I want to enjoy not spend my time fixing things that a shoddy Chinese factory cannot make correctly. There is no excuse for...

Shuben,

What did Shineray say about your wheel failure ?

I was getting quite excited about buying an x5 as it ticks all the boxes for me. It seems to be the only bike available in China that...

This spoke failure is really putting me off buying an X5, I am ok with the DIY aspect of owning a Chinese bike but I am not ok with serious safety issues.

Shuben,

Many thanks for this great review detailing your experiences of your ownership of your Shineray X5, after reading this I am 100% convinced of getting one of these for me. It is just the...
