How to choose a pit bike in the UAE: Models, prices and what to look for
Compare Sharmax pit bikes in the UAE, explore models, prices and key features, and learn how to choose the right bike for your size, experience and riding needs.

A pit bike is a compact off-road motorcycle with smaller wheels and a lower stance than a full-size dirt bike. Its size makes it worth considering for practice, tighter riding areas and riders who prefer a smaller motorcycle.
If you’re comparing pit bikes for sale in the UAE, the right choice depends on the rider’s size, experience and where they plan to ride. Here’s how the Sharmax models differ, what they cost and what to check before choosing one.
What should you check before buying a pit bike?
Rider fit and controls
A pit bike should feel comfortable and manageable from the moment you sit on it. Check the reach to the handlebars, brake levers and foot controls.
Can the rider support the bike at a stop? Can they move it at a walking pace without struggling with its weight? A motorcycle that looks like the right size in a photo may feel different in person.
For a younger rider, also check the manufacturer’s age and load guidance. The bike should fit the individual rider, and learning should take place with appropriate training and adult supervision.
Engine size and experience
Pit bikes come with different engine sizes and power outputs. A smaller engine may be easier to consider when learning the basics, while a rider with more experience may want additional performance.
For example, a 110cc pit bike offers a different starting point from a 140cc model. But engine size alone doesn’t tell you everything: the bike’s weight, controls, power delivery and dimensions all affect how it feels.
Wheel size and seat height
Smaller wheels contribute to a more compact bike, while larger wheels generally make a motorcycle taller and can help it roll over uneven ground.
For example, the Sport 130 Mini has a 10/10-inch wheel arrangement, while the Power Max 145 and Power Max 190 use 17/14-inch wheels. That difference is worth seeing in person, especially if you’re choosing between a mini pit bike and a larger model.
Intended riding area
Think about where the bike will be used most often. A compact practice area and a rough, uneven trail place different demands on both the motorcycle and the rider.
Check that the bike suits the terrain and that riding is permitted in your chosen area. If you’re unsure which setup fits your plans, the showroom team can help you compare the options.
Warranty, servicing and parts
All Sharmax pit bikes come with a warranty of up to three years, giving you added confidence when choosing your bike. Ask about the coverage and terms for your model when ordering.
It’s also worth checking where the bike can be serviced and how to get replacement parts such as tires, filters and brake components. If you plan to ride in sand or dust, ask what cleaning and checks the bike will need after a ride.
Which Sharmax pit bikes can you choose from?
The Sharmax range includes compact pit bikes with different sizes and power outputs. Here’s a quick comparison:
| Model | Engine | Power | Best considered for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sport 130 Mini | 110 cc | 7 hp | Riders looking for a compact bike |
| Power Max 145 | 125 cc | 10 hp | Riders who want a larger pit bike |
| Power Max 190 | 140 cc | 12 hp | Riders looking for more performance |
The figures give you a starting point, but the best way to judge fit is to compare the bikes in person.
Sport 130 Mini
The Sport 130 Mini is the smallest of the three, with a 110cc engine producing 7 hp. Its compact size makes it a useful model to compare if a larger off-road motorcycle feels too tall or difficult to manage.
It can be a starting point for learning basic controls on suitable terrain. The important thing is that the rider can reach the controls and handle the bike confidently.
What to consider: Check the recommended rider requirements, reach and weight limits. For younger riders, arrange appropriate training and supervision.

Power Max 145
The Power Max 145 offers a larger format, with a 125cc engine and 10 hp. It’s worth considering if the Sport 130 Mini feels too compact and you want more room to move on the bike.
Its 17/14-inch wheels give it a taller stance than the Mini. Sitting on both models is a straightforward way to see which one feels more comfortable.
What to consider: Make sure the rider can balance the bike at a stop and comfortably reach the controls. A taller bike may be a better fit for one rider and less manageable for another.

Power Max 190
The Power Max 190 is the most powerful of these three models, with a 140cc engine producing 12 hp. It’s worth exploring if you’re comfortable with the basics and want more performance for off-road practice.
The Power Max 145 and 190 both use a 17/14-inch wheel arrangement, but their engines and equipment differ. Comparing them in person can help you decide whether the extra power suits your experience.
What to consider: Check the current availability and configuration before visiting. The Power Max 190 may be available to order or offered for pre-order, depending on the location.

When planning your budget, remember to include more than the motorcycle. A suitable helmet, goggles, gloves, boots and other protective equipment are part of getting ready to ride. You may also want to ask about delivery, servicing and spare parts.
Buying online or visiting a showroom
Buying online is convenient if you already know which model and configuration you want. You can compare the Sharmax pit bike range and contact the team about ordering and delivery.
A showroom visit is especially useful if you’re unsure about size or are choosing a bike for someone else. You can compare the Sport 130 Mini with the larger Power Max models, check the controls and ask whether a test ride can be arranged.
Whichever way you buy, confirm the final price, VAT, availability and delivery arrangements before placing the order.
