Helix / Denli - Anyone hear of these? Please...
#1
Looking for another small 4-wheeler for field riding for my kids.
A local shop has a "new" line called "Helix". The manual mentions this is a "Denli"
It is obviously not made in the USA. 2-stroke, injected, 90 cc,
Auto trans w/ 2 forwards & a reverse. Elec. start w/ kick b-up,
Lights, and other jazz, really sporty looking, felt solid except plastic is plastic.
I ran it around the parking lot, seemed OK - BUT -
I have never heard of this machine! The dealer "just started gettin 'em" and offered me one to "get 'em out there" for $1,500.00
Thats a great deal, but You can tell, I'm trying to save money, but is this for real?
we currently have Yamaha's (Big Bear for adults, Breeze for the two kids - thats the problem, need another one.
Any info, ideas experiences knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks from Louisiana

If I'm not mistaken, Dinli is a Taiwan company that makes quads for several different "American" companies. My friend sells the brand T-Rex which is also made by dinli. You're not going to be able to beat the price....that's for sure. A 90cc for 1500.00 is cheap. My only experience is through my friend, who has sold a few and hasn't had too many problems. However, none of them have been in the field over a year yet.
All that being said....I am a firm believer in sticking with the proven quads. It might cost a little more money, but nothing is worse than having a kid with a quad that keeps breaking down while everyone elses keeps running. It could dampen their spirits of atving pretty bad. When I was searching for miniquads the last two years I checked out everything available in my area, and then some.....I still went with the time proven Suzuki LT50 and a Suzuki LT80. These machines have been around forever with a great reliability record. What they may give up in technology, they more than make up for in reliability.
Oh well, that's my two cents worth.......good luck.....
