This is my review of my 2019 GPX TSE 250R. I've had lots of time to break it in and form an opinion, so here it is....finally! #GPX #dirtbike #TSE250r #FSE300r #FSE450r #FSE250e #enduro
I've decided to purchase the 2021 GPX TSE250R. The 2021 model includes, at no extra charge: larger gas tank, gen 3 exhaust, racing cdi, and racing carburator. The TSE250R 2 Stroke model is by far the best performing/value model in the GPX line-up IMHO. I have a Suzuki DRZ400 for my street bike and could never sell my DRZ. The DRZ is a little heavy, but some weight is needed on a street bike. The TSE250R 2 Stroke will be my dirt bike and with 40-hp at 250-lbs it has the power to weight ratio to catch big air and pull some wheelies - can't wait. Thanks for the great video
Awesome! I think you’ll really enjoy it, I ended up riding over my drz most of the time. Yeah those upgrades are really nice and those are the ones I have to get for mine. It does not have 40hp btw, I don’t even think the drz has that! Thanks for commenting and keep us updated on your purchase!
@@LCARSADV I understand there is an upgraded thicker skid plate as well. With the gen 3 exhaust - racing carb - racing cdi, the 2021 TSE should be a competitive single track ripper. I'm hoping GPX also addressed the air filter cage seating issue, and the poor key ignition location for the 2021 TSE model, but no problem, these are minor issues and easily rectified. With all these wonderful free upgrades, what an awesome year to be buying the TSE. Glad I've already put down a deposit and locked in the price for the TSE August/September 2021 arrivals. I can't help but think that once GPX gets through this beta stage, the GPX bikes will increase in price. BTW - very well done on your high quality "TSE Full Review" RUclips video!
I heard in a magazine or thumpertalk that the TSE 250R IS around 40hp with all of the engine mods - ecu's & exhaust alone can set you leahus apart...what could our bikes do with the factory racing ecu mapping??? James Stewart said that he would absolutely NEVER race without being on the factory teams or having the factory racing ecu's. It's crazy what technology can do these days...
Best video on this bike so far. Thanks for an honest, informed, and unbiased review. The video was well produced and easy to watch. I hope some day you have an opportunity to compare this bike to the crossfire bikes or the ssr clones. People always want to compare this bike to euro or Japanese bikes. Which really isn't fair. It cost almost exactly half as much. China has really stepped up their game. These sure aren't in the league of the old China bikes.

There is the specifications of the GPX Moto TSE 250R engine. It is an electric start, oil-injected Yamaha WR 220 engine, beautifully crafted to fit within a Husqvarna chassis/frame. The whole GPX Moto package really REALLY impressed me in person. Would have never guessed that the price was that low after hearing & seeing what parts make up the DNA of this hard-charging, enduro-inspired dirt bike production line. People currently search for the WR and KDX 200 & 220 from the 90s...so why not just purchase the 2021 GPX Moto TSE 250R, and get this wonderful engine package updated with 2020 technology??? It's a no brainer!!! I'm adding one of these to my fleet - NO ifs, ands, or buts!!!! The 2021 is a beast @ 5k!!! NOTHING compares to it for that price - NOT EVEN the new Kawasaki KLX300R that is fuel injected in 2020!!! The parts are no where near the same quality!
As a KTM owner: I feel slightly offended.... *looks at garage with the KTM that still has clutch cover/radiator/head off and has been down for a month* Aww son of a gun! :) Cool review, glad you've liked the bike overall and interested to see how you'll like the 300r.
@@LCARSADV All bikes are a compromise on function vs reliability and price. A 4S making 39/40 hp from 250cc faces huge technical problems of internal pressure, wear surfaces, metal fatigue and heat dissipation. The manufacturers could probably solve these problems with big $ R&D, specialty materials etc, but why bother - how much market share is there for $20,000 uber dirt bike?? Their only interest is selling at a profit, keeping shareholders happy. They do enough R&D to stay competitive and keep customer money flowing in. Pro's have sponsors that provide bikes etc, and trade up bikes yearly if not every 6 months. Dropping 10/11/12 G on the prosumer version of those race bikes gets you bragging rights with your buds; and 50 hour top end maintenance schedules.
Hey I really enjoyed your thorough review of this GPX 250! this is an answer to my prayers lol I am a two stroke enthusiast and have really been looking for a good bike that I can get around town on and then hit the trails hard if I chose so. This is the ultimate Hawaii bike I’m so stoked to move back to big island and order one of these slap a street kit on first thing it comes!
It actually is a great dual sport bike, I mean I would be doing 65mph for extended periods of time on a 2 stroke, but for around town to get to the trails it's great! Thanks again!
I’m a KTM guy I ride a 690 and a 2020 300xcw and I’m seriously considering getting a couple of these bikes. The 450/300 4 stroke and the 250 2 stroke all seem very interesting.
They are great bikes for sure, but man you have a 300xcw and that bike is the best there is. The 2 stroke GPX is great but not nearly as powerful as the ktm and the 300 4 stroke is a great engine, but I would describe their power curve as linear.
I own two KTM's a 2009 EXC 250 and a 2019 TPi both of which are great bikes. Having researched these bikes and peoples experiences I would certainly like one of these in my stable if they do start to import into the UK.
KTM makes a sweet bike for sure, probably the best, but they come at a high price tag! With the gpx you get most of everything but half the price. I’m happy with mine anyways.
The GPX is vary dependable . My 2019 has been excellent. Parts are easy to get. I did a lot of research , and it is a great alternative .I would get a dealer to help if you are new to the sport😎
I don’t hate it, but it’s far better than a beta kick stand, have you ever seen one? They are like a hot knife through butter when you put it down in the dirt!
Yeah that would be awesome! I don't know if he would though, not really sure how he feels. He did ride my TSE250r and he liked it, he also rode Chad's fse250 that was bored out to 286cc.
I've been wanting one of these since they came out. Also interested in their 300 and 450. Used bikes jumped so much in price since this covid stuff. Tine to get a Chinese bike before they can no longer ship them to the u.s.
Agreed. However you may have to wait until the next shipment, they might have sold out of their stock. The covid thing upset production and added delays, but yeah I think you would be pleasantly surprised and love the bike or the fse300r
This is going to be my next bike, I'm not a professional rider so I'm not inclined to spend 10k.still riding my 87 Husqvarna but now I want electric start.
You are serious about the 300 then? Im excited to watch here when u get it. About the only upgrade i could see on these are the sprockets, for preference where riding. Do u know what fits the front, or the rear? Has anybody changed gearing yet? Listening to the TSE and it having a strong low/mid range i think some higher gearing would really make it haul.
Yeah a bunch of the guys have changed their gearing, go to the unoffcial gpxmoto FB group and do a search. I haven't messed with mine yet as I think the stock hearing is right on. Yep I should be getting my 300 next week hopefully! Thanks!
Fantastic video! The I see about these GPX motorcycles the more I like them and hope to save up enough money to buy/ship one (which would be much more manageable vs. a Japanese/Euro bike). I did email GPX, from their web site, they answered the next day! Now I'm struggling what to get for a dual sport bike from them... 2-stroke or 4-stroke??? 👍
Im torn between the tse250r and the fse300r. I want to get a plate for it in Washington but i will likely stay off the highways for the most part. 80% singletrack 20% forest service roads. Seeing that you own both maybe you could give some input on which way to go?
Well the TSE is lighter and it feels lighter which make it really nice for single track. But I really do love the 300 for its torque and grunt as it really is a nice engine, but the TSE engine is more “fun” because it’s a two stroke. You also have to think about Range, the TSE maybe 65 miles and the fse gets 100 miles to the tank. It’s really a 4 stroke vs 2 stroke preference. But I may give an edge to the 300 even though it’s a little heavier. Plus fuel injection is nice. I know this is hard to put a pin on, but really both bikes are great.
@@LCARSADV thanks for your input and thank you for making these videos. I am leaning toward the four stroke for the fuel range an the fuel injection. I could be riding anywhere from 500 ft to 9000ft on the same day here in washington. Im no good at jetting two strokes.
@@DerekandMiki shipping is a flat $300 which honestly is really cheap for shipping a dirt bike across the country. I think the 300 would be a good option for you, as I recently did some of the craziest single track and it just ate it up! Yeah it’s heavier than a ktm, but it really does handle well and track well. It’s a fantastic engine.
I love Nissin brakes (supreme modulation), the Brembo stuff is too grabby for my liking... Is the GPX stuff Brembo cloned or something else? Also, maybe add a link to the setup video mentioned @9:00 :-)
I believe they are bembo cloned, but they are anything but grabby. My DRZ brakes would grab so easily without any force and I absolutely hated them! I think these brakes are perfect and controllable. ruclips.net/video/CnompaFNNyU/видео.html
This engine is a Yamaha dt230 engine retooled. It was designed originally as a dual sport engine, so extremely long rebuilds kind of like a Yamaha blaster if you know what I mean. This isn’t a high compression engine so she’ll go for the long run. There are guys with hundreds of hours on the GPX group and rings are perfect
I did not as I haven't needed to, but I know Fisch mot makes one for it, or you could go the stainless mesh wire as others have done and take off the end of the muffler and put the mesh on as that would work if a ranger stuck a stick up the pipe to see.
@@LCARSADV Actually looking at the specs, i thought it was the NC250 that came in the FSE250R with the big bore, but that was 282cc with 30hp. But the sheet says its a 298cc so must be a new engine. Im sure with the un restricted pipe it has it probably has more power than the big bore
@@evansautomotive307 I love older bikes, if I could get parts reliably I would probably get an old air cooled Honda. I love the way those old xr’s look!
@@LCARSADV Its never been real hard to get parts for my old hondas, (84 xl250r, assortment of 80s 3 wheelers). I was looking for a decent xr400 but I couldnt find one. I'm pretty happy with the ktm400. Its got a bit more power than the xr400 my cousin had.
I can't figure out why it's so heavy for a 2 stroke it's about 30 pounds heavier then a similar enduro of the same cc and that's the only thing putting me off about it
Don't buy Chinese motorcycles they are crqp you will regret it after just 6months the parts will break apart don't be fooled with the price it's never a fantastic engine
Wow you literally don’t know anything about this brand then. Yeah that stereotype does apply to many Chinese products but not GPX. I’ve beat the shut out of 3 of these bikes and they are on par with ktm. Please do some research before trashing a brand. You’ll be surprised if you ride one.

Great to hear the review. I went to the GPX website right after watching the video. No spontaneous purchase, but it was fun to window shop.

"that broken" lol I gotta say though, the 300xcw is an amazing machine!
@@LCARSADV Hahah, I bet the new 300s are nice. I have an old 2001 400mxc, its allowed to be a little broken 20 years later!
@@evansautomotive307 I love older bikes, if I could get parts reliably I would probably get an old air cooled Honda. I love the way those old xr’s look!
@@LCARSADV Its never been real hard to get parts for my old hondas, (84 xl250r, assortment of 80s 3 wheelers). I was looking for a decent xr400 but I couldnt find one. I'm pretty happy with the ktm400. Its got a bit more power than the xr400 my cousin had.
@@evansautomotive307 I would love an old xr400! What a great bike! No estart though!
I can't figure out why it's so heavy for a 2 stroke it's about 30 pounds heavier then a similar enduro of the same cc and that's the only thing putting me off about it
It doesn't feel heavy, but yeah 30 lbs lighter would be nice, but thats why you pay 10k for a KTM
It’s comparable with a KTM HUSKY
Forks all steel.
Other parts too.
Nice bike
Can you uncork the emmisons crap?
What emissions crap? It’s a 2 stroke so None that I know of
But will these outlive an old Honda? No, so I dont want it.
Nothing will outlast an old Honda, and no one would ever buy another new dirt bike again if that were the standard lol
KTM owners would do less engine rebuilds if they would ignore the stupud 60 to 1 premix and use 40 to 1.
I know right! Plus those rebuilds are race conditions
Can you finance this bike through gpx?
I believe so. I didn’t go that route, but their website has that option on there.
@@LCARSADV sweet I'll look into 👍
Don't buy Chinese motorcycles they are crqp you will regret it after just 6months the parts will break apart don't be fooled with the price it's never a fantastic engine
Wow you literally don’t know anything about this brand then. Yeah that stereotype does apply to many Chinese products but not GPX. I’ve beat the shut out of 3 of these bikes and they are on par with ktm. Please do some research before trashing a brand. You’ll be surprised if you ride one.
