10TEN-JHL SX170 Dirt Bike

10TEN JHL SX170 19/16 Dirt Bike

The 10TEN JHL SX170 19/16 moves beyond traditional small pit-bike proportions with a larger wheel setup, a five-speed manual gearbox and an 11.5 hp RE170 four-stroke engine.

Its 19-inch front and 16-inch rear wheels provide improved stability and roll more easily across rough ground, while the relatively accessible 790mm seat height helps keep the bike manageable.

With electric and kick start, inverted front suspension, rear linkage suspension, hydraulic disc brakes and aluminium wheels, the SX170 is designed for riders ready to progress beyond a smaller traditional pit bike.

RE170 Four-Stroke Engine

Power comes from the RE170 four-stroke engine, producing a claimed maximum output of 11.5 hp.

A PE24 carburettor handles fuelling and complements the larger-capacity engine, providing a straightforward mechanical setup suited to recreational off-road riding.

Compared with the smaller models in the range, the SX170 provides a useful increase in power while retaining a manageable mid-size chassis.

The SX170 is best suited to riders who already understand the basic controls of a manual off-road bike and are ready for more performance and a larger wheel setup.

Five-Speed Manual Gearbox

The SX170 uses a five-speed manual transmission and conventional manual clutch, giving the rider direct control over clutch engagement, gear selection and power delivery.

The additional fifth gear provides a broader spread of ratios than the four-speed gearboxes used on the smaller models.

This allows the rider to select a suitable lower gear for slower, more technical sections while having another gear available when riding across more open ground.

Electric and Kick Start

Both electric and kick start are fitted as standard.

The electric starter provides convenient push-button starting, while the conventional kick starter offers a useful backup when required.

A 5Ah gel battery powers the electric starting system.

Larger-Wheel 19/16 Chassis

The SX170 runs a 19-inch front and 16-inch rear wheel combination, giving it a larger and more dirt-bike-inspired stance than the 17/14 models.

The larger-diameter wheels roll more easily across ruts, bumps and rough ground, while also improving stability across faster or more open terrain.

Despite the larger wheels, the stated 790mm seat height keeps the bike relatively accessible. The wheelbase measures approximately 1250mm.

Overall dimensions are approximately 1780 × 740 × 1100mm.

Rider suitability should always be assessed using height, inside-leg measurement, experience and confidence rather than age alone.

Aluminium 19/16 Wheels

The SX170 uses 19/16-inch aluminium rims with upgraded aluminium alloy hubs.

The wheels are fitted with Yuangxing off-road tyres in the following sizes:

• Front tyre: Yuangxing 70/100-19
• Rear tyre: Yuangxing 90/100-16

Wheel locks are fitted as standard, helping to prevent the tyres from moving around the rims when lower tyre pressures are used for off-road riding.

Inverted Forks and Linkage Rear Suspension

At the front, the SX170 uses substantial 45/48mm inverted forks measuring approximately 735mm.

At the rear is a single shock working through a steel linkage system. The linkage arrangement provides a progressive suspension action as the rear wheel moves through its travel.

Both ends are non-adjustable, keeping the suspension straightforward and easy to maintain while still providing a more developed chassis arrangement than the smaller models.

Front and Rear Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Hydraulic disc brakes at the front and rear provide the stopping power.

The system gives the rider controlled and predictable braking performance from both wheels, matching the SX170’s larger wheel setup and increased engine output.

Stainless steel footpegs provide a solid platform when riding seated or standing, while the forged alloy steering stem helps complete the cockpit and front-end assembly.

Heavy-Duty Final Drive

Drive to the rear wheel is handled by a heavy-duty 428H Choho chain.

The SX170 uses a 14-tooth steel front sprocket and a larger 46-tooth steel rear sprocket, providing gearing suited to off-road riding.

A steel swingarm supports the rear wheel and linkage suspension system, providing a durable and straightforward chassis arrangement.

Six-Litre Fuel Tank and Hourmeter

A six-litre fuel tank provides useful capacity for longer riding sessions.

An hourmeter is fitted as standard, making it easier to monitor engine running time and stay on top of oil changes, valve checks and other routine servicing.

The bike is finished with a black frame, stainless steel and aluminium exhaust and distinctive 10TEN and JHLOFR graphics.

Key Features

Who Is the SX170 For?

The SX170 is designed for riders ready to move beyond the dimensions and performance of a traditional small pit bike.

Its 19/16-inch wheels, five-speed gearbox and 11.5 hp RE170 engine provide more room, improved rough-ground performance and a broader power range than the smaller models.

The 790mm seat height helps keep the bike relatively accessible, but its manual clutch and increased performance mean it is better suited to a rider with previous experience.

For someone looking for a larger-wheel manual dirt bike without immediately moving to a full-size adult motocross machine, the 10TEN JHL SX170 is a strong progression option.
