Design
The Tracker 250 is a multi-purpose bike that has a compact, elegant bodywork from head to tail, including a narrow fuel tank developed exclusively for motocross and enduro demands. The standard upright handlebar posture and wider seat assist the rider in maintaining their centre of gravity during any riding condition.
Talking about the build of the bike, it features an advanced steel tube single beam frame, precisely tuned flex characteristics that give riders the ultimate combination of cornering performance, traction feel, and bump. It also has a telescopic suspension with front fork boots.
On the front, it gets a circular halogen headlamp with a high-mounted mudguard whereas it has a slim body at the side and has sporty graphics and a halogen taillamp with sleek and edgy LED indicators. It also has a high-mounted stainless steel exhaust and comes with an analogue instrument cluster with a functioning gear-position indicator, a blacked-out engine, and golden-coloured forks.
