cHIROCHRIS,

If you are concerned about the size of the 90 then check out the DC50. The dc50 is a little smaller than the 90.The 50cc 2 stroke in the dc50 is plenty fast enough and there is alot of mods that you can do in the future as your son grows. The 50 can be just as fast as the 90. I think this is the way to go for you.

 

Chirochris,

My son is small. He is 34lbs. and 42inches. He just turned 8 on Sunday. He is about the size of a low on the growth chart 5 year old. He does really well with it. I think you would like it alot better than a Raptor 50 or 80. Did you check out the unison website for all the measurements. It should be helpful to you.

The measurement from where his foot would sit to where his bottom would go is 17 -17 1/2 inches. The DC90 is a taller looking bike, but it is also wider then most of the others like the Raptor.

the dc 90 is a good choice, i have it down to that and am looking at the ds90 tomorrow by canam(brp)

it has 8 inches of ground clearance..thats pretty good, it has only 1.5 inches of front travel and 2 inches of rear...i couldnt find were the travel is listed for the dc90..does anyone know

 

chirochris,

what is travel?

 

suspension...its the amount of movement the shock does up and down when going over bumps...make the ride much nicer...

 

travel is the range of compression for a shock. If a given shock has 5" of travel, that means it can compress 5" before it "bottoms out"

 

So do you want me to go push on mine and see how much they go up and down?

 

shock travel doesn't = wheel travel at the end of the swing arm...as I understand it.... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

I can tell you that the dc90 has alot more travel than that.

 

it may look like more but thats how they all look...wondering why dc 90 doesnt put a number to it
