Cobra ESX50 and ESX70
- Updated: October 21, 2005
Cobra revolutionized Youth Quad Racing in 2005 with its introduction of the race ready ECX70. At season’s end Cobra ended up with the 70cc Production National Motocross Championship with rider David Beer on board, and at the final round at Loretta Lynn’s Dude Ranch, Cobras swept the top seven spots in the production class and in addition swept the podium in the 70cc mod class.
Today Cobra announced their 2006 ECX70. In addition Cobra is introducing two new products into their lineup for 2006. The all-new ECX50 is an impressive little machine. This little powerhouse shares much of the championship winning Arens chassis hardware with its big brother, the ECX70. Furthermore, the ECX50’s engine will be based off the same engine that has powered Cobra riders on two wheels to numerous national titles over the past decade.
Cobra’s second product introduction will be in the form of a kit: According to Cobra, with the addition of their bolt-on auto clutch and a big bore cylinder, any ECX70 racer can make their ATV legal for the 90cc Production class. In this dad won’t have to buy a new ATV to keep up with junior’s class advancement.
