The Quick Answer
Which 10TEN JHL Pit Bike Should You Choose?
Choose the SK70 for the simplest automatic introduction to petrol riding.
Choose the SK110 when a smaller rider needs a low seat but is ready to learn foot-operated gears.
Choose the MK110 as the main semi-automatic 110cc option or the MK125 when the rider is ready to learn a conventional clutch.
The LK125 and LK140 are larger 17/14-inch alternatives for riders who genuinely need an 830mm seat and longer chassis.

Understand the Names
How the 10TEN JHL Range Works
Compact Range
SK Models
The SK70 and SK110 have compact chassis and low 630mm seats.
Choose SK when the rider needs a smaller, easier-to-manage platform.
Mid-Size Range
MK Models
The MK110 and MK125 share a roomier 14/12 chassis and 750mm seat.
The difference is primarily semi-automatic versus manual-clutch control.
Larger Range
LK Models
The LK125 and LK140 use 17/14 wheels, 830mm seats and 1250mm wheelbases.
Choose LK when rider size genuinely requires the additional space.

Larger 17/14 Models
LK125 and LK140
Both LK models have 830mm seats and 1250mm wheelbases. They are intended for riders who need more physical room than the 14/12-inch MK platform provides.
They should not automatically be treated as the next stage for every rider. Use the 10TEN JHL size guide to check the fit first.
Transmission Progression
Automatic, Semi-Automatic or Manual?
Automatic SK70: the rider controls the throttle and brakes without selecting gears or operating a clutch.
Semi-automatic SK110 and MK110: the rider selects gears with the foot lever but does not operate a clutch lever.
Manual MK125, LK125 and LK140: the rider controls the throttle, clutch and gear lever together.
Make the Decision
How to Choose the Correct 10TEN JHL
1. Start with Size
Check seat height, wheel size and legroom before comparing engine performance.
2. Check Experience
Previous riding experience should influence both the power and controls selected.
3. Choose the Gearbox
Do not choose a manual model until the rider is ready to coordinate a clutch.
4. Avoid Over-Biking
Leave room to develop without choosing a bike that undermines confidence now.

Buying a First Pit Bike?
Begin with the Controls the Rider Can Manage
The most expensive bike is not automatically the best-value choice if its controls or physical size reduce the rider’s confidence.
Our beginner guide compares the SK70, SK110 and MK110 and explains when it is sensible to move to the manual MK125.
