Default Hensim 150 Hunter Utility

Anyone out there own a Hensim 150 Utility? If so what are your thoughts on this unit? Looking to pick one up for the wife to ride, but wonder about the size. Looks similar to the sunl SLA-175, but a little better put together. Thanks.

I don't have the Hensim, but I have the Panther 150 utility that Vbike carries. It is nice sized. Runs great. It will be the same size as your Marsin 200. And the best thing is it has a neutral position. Never missed a beat in a year. There are some picks of it compared to a Hibird on my picture page.

The Hensim 150 is allot smaller than the SLA-175 but hands down a better unit. It sits lower to the ground.

Thanks for the replies. I think the Hensim looks like a better unit too, it's fit and finish looks a lot better for the little extra that you pay compared to the sunl. Looks to me that they are using the same body. The Hensim sight says that they are a little longer, same width, but 4 inches shorter at the seat. Seems the only thing that is different is the suspension height. They sell them as a youth/adult, what would your opinion be? Would it be too small for her height wise? Does someone own one that is a adult? What is your thoughts. Thanks,

The Hensim is a good bike even for adult. It has better suspension and better parts support if you get it from the right dealer. Who are you buying it from?

Looking to buy from ATVdiscounter. I see county motorsports sells them as well, but they want quite a bit more for them. Thought I would see if county would price match. Their website says they will, but a lot of criteria that you have to meet. I did see that country is a distributor for Hensim though. I would want to make sure that I did get the latest unit. Read that they bumped up the horsepower from 9.5 to 12.5 on the newer units.

I think the Hensim will be the same height as my wifes Hi Bird 150. It is 3 or 4 inches shorter thathan mine. But you'll find it will carry your wife great. My 6' 5" son rides my wifes all the time! My grandson always has to ride Pop's ! Speed and climbing ability is on the same level as my 200.

Ok, I found a Vbike that is a little taller than the Hensim. Any thoughts on this bike. I like the fit and finish on the Hensim, but am afraid the wife will not want to much lower in the saddle than I. Looks like the same body the Hensim and Sunl as well as the Roketa. It also has a little larger tire, 20's in back and 21's in front. Thanks ghcoe.
