You want to get into dirt riding but looking at the prices of big brands like Honda or Yamaha makes you dizzy. We get it. Spending $4,000 on a first bike that might get scratched up in the first week is tough. That is why Apollo Pit Bikes are taking over the trails. They are the perfect mix of price and performance for new riders who just want to have fun without breaking the bank.
If you are browsing Affordable ATV and wondering which Apollo model is right for you or your kid, here is a quick guide to the best budget picks.
For the Little Rookies (Ages 6-9)
If this is the very first bike, you dont want to complicate things with gears.
- The Apollo DB-25 (70cc): This is the king of entry-level. It’s fully automatic. That means your kid just twists the throttle and goes. No shifting, no stalling. It builds confidence fast.
- The Apollo DB-21 (70cc): If they are a bit braver, this one is Semi-Automatic. They can learn to shift gears with their foot, but there is no hand clutch to worry about. Its a great stepping stone before moving up to a big bike.
The Best All-Rounder (Ages 10-14)
For most pre-teens, a 110cc is the sweet spot. It has enough power to climb hills but isn't scary fast.
- Apollo DB-X4 (RFZ 110): This bike looks mean with its racing-style plastics, but it is actually very friendly. It uses a 4-speed semi-auto transmission. The seat height is around 30 inches, making it easy for most kids to touch the ground. It’s tough, simple, and parts are cheap if you break a lever.
For Taller Teens & Adults
Yes, adults ride pit bikes too. Its a huge hobby. But you need a frame that fits.
- Apollo DB-X18 (125cc): This is the best seller for a reason. It comes with larger wheels (17 inch front, 14 inch rear) so you aren't knees-to-chest while riding. It has a Manual Clutch, which is perfect if you want to learn how to ride a "real" motorcycle. Once you master the clutch on this, you can ride anything.

Buying a budget bike used to mean spending hours in the garage putting it together. Not anymore. At Affordable ATV, we offer a Fully Assembled and Tested option. We build it, tune the carb, and test it before it ships. You just put gas in and ride.
