The motorcycle industry has evolved significantly since its inception, offering motorcycles with advanced technologies and high specifications today. Yet, one culture that persists and will endure well into the future is the Café Racer and Scrambler culture. In Bangladesh, renowned Japanese companies produce scramblers, but their prices can be exorbitant, making them a challenge to obtain. However, we'll now discuss an affordable scrambler, the GPX Legend 150S, while also considering all bike price in Bangladesh.

GPX is a motorcycle manufacturer based in Thailand. GPX is mostly popular for its sports bikes and scramblers. The bikes by GPX range from 125cc to 300cc. However, due to the cubic capacity limit (cc limit), we only get bikes below 165cc here in Bangladesh. There are two motorcycles of GPX that are readily available in Bangladesh; the GPX Demon 150GR and the GPX Legend 150S. Here we will talk about the GPX Legend 150S.

Key Features:

The GPX Legend 150S is one of the best 150cc bikes in Bangladesh, offering full scrambler ergonomics and specifications. With an upright and wide handlebar for effortless maneuverability, a comfortable short seat reminiscent of a scrambler design, and a nimble shape, this bike stands out. It also boasts certification from two distinct Thai industrial standards.

The GPX Legend 150S comes with a Halogen and LED mix lighting system. The headlight is a full halogen light which is enough for the city commute, but not for the highway. The headlight is designed circularly so that the bike has a more classic look. The LED taillight is also designed circularly to add to the classic look. The bike also has LED indicators, that are quite bulky.

The GPX Legend 150S comes in three different colors. They are:
Black.
White.
Grey.
The bike comes with almost no decals. This makes the bike look very unique and minimalistic.

The GPX Legend 150S comes with a semi-digital instrument cluster. The instrument cluster comes with a speedometer, an odometer, a gear position indicator, a fuel gauge, an RPM counter, and other necessary indicators. The indicators are quite minimalistic, which makes it very attractive.

Physical Attributes:

The GPX Legend 150S is a short motorcycle. It has an average saddle height of 790mm, with a generous amount of ground clearance. The bike is best for people above the height of 5’4”, and may be difficult for riders above the height of 5’10”. The bike has a fuel capacity of 8 liters, which is not enough for long rides, such as Dhaka-Cox’s Bazaar; but will be enough for short rides out of town such as Dhaka-Nikli.

The GPX Legend 150S has a small body compared to other scramblers. The height, length, width, and weight of the GPX Legend 150S are 1100mm, 2015mm, 830mm, and 130kg respectively. The bike is one of the lightest bikes presently of the 150 segments in the country. This bike, regardless of being a nimble bike, has a long wheelbase of 1340, which allows it to be very stable at corners.

Engine and Transmission:

The GPX Legend 150S has a single-cylinder, 4-stroke, and 149cc engine. The engine is carbureted and air-cooled, which is expected at this price range. The power figure of the bike is not mentioned but can be expected to be around 12BHP and 13Nm, as it is a 150cc bike. The power should be adequate for the bike and should also be enough for rides out of town. The bike will have a mileage of around 35kmpl.

The GPX Legend 150S also has a basic wet multi-plate clutch system. There are 6 gears for the transmission, which means the power of the bike is spread out linearly and quite aggressively. The GPX Legend 150S top speed can be assumed to be around 120kmph.

Brakes, Suspensions, and Wheels:

The GPX Legend 150S is equipped with a combination of disc and drum brakes for its braking system. The front wheel features a disc brake, greatly enhancing the bike's braking performance. However, the rear wheel is equipped with a drum brake, which may not be adequate given the bike's 150cc capacity. A rear disc brake would have been a significant improvement for the bike.

In terms of suspension, the GPX Legend 150S features a telescopic fork setup at the front and a spring-loaded telescopic setup at the rear. The front telescopic forks are expected to provide a responsive performance on the road. On the other hand, the rear dual spring-loaded setup may not be the most ideal choice for solo riders, as they can feel a bit soft and tend to be less stable on bumpy roads. Additionally, it's worth noting that the front suspensions are equipped with covers to protect the oil seal from debris.

The GPX Legend 150S has spoked metal wheels, which perfectly match the aesthetics of the bike. It has a 110/90 and a 120/90 tire setup. The front tire is more than enough for the bike, as it increases contact with the ground and improves braking and leaning at corners. The rear wheel would have been better if it were 130/90 or 140/90 section. The rear tire of the bike limits the lean angle of the bike and also limits the speed of flicking the bike over. As this is a scrambler, it gets dual-purpose tires, which also help the bike to scramble as well.

Target Audience:

The GPX Legend 150S is targeted at scrambler lovers. This bike is for people who would occasionally do some off-roading, with commuting as their main purpose. The bike will attract a lot of people who are looking for a bike with a minimalistic classic look. The jury is still out on whether it is good for new riders or not, but for veteran riders, this will be a good bike.
