I’ve found one place and one place only that makes a nitro dirt bike. I don’t even have the link anymore nor the phone number I called. It was a manufacturer in Europe and the price was comparable to the road bikes. The guy told me that the “drive train” was warranted as well as other parts of course but in general, he told me I wouldn’t be happy with it. I was told the bikes were awesome with speed and would fly amazingly high on jumps but every landing resulted in front fork failure. I was told that they made a bike that would withstand punishment but the front didn’t really look like a dirt bike anymore. Too big, too bulky. The guy told me they were working on it but not really. He made a good point in saying “It seems almost impossible to make anything that looks as it should and perform as you would expect”. All that was a few months ago and from searching, he’s apparently right and is the reason you can’t find them anywhere.
