Only ridden the bike a few times, but here is my assessment.

The good:
Surprisingly strong motor; responsive and lots of torque after warmed up. Carb needs adjustment tho, motor dies at idle until fully warm. Backfires a lot too. Gearing feels lower than my Suzuki DR250, which contributes to the strong feel of the engine, which is fine because I use it for trails & forest roads in the PNW. Over 50mph and you're at about 80% max rpm. If you do a lot of highspeed riding, consider changing sprockets.

Front suspension feels great, very responsive and handles well. I'm almost 70 years old so I softened the dampening and rebound for comfort. Rear suspension will take some time. Preload came adjusted all the way out and the rear is much harsher than my DR. It's going to take a while to dial in the preload, dampening and rebound for my style riding.

I don't have it licensed for the street yet, but I went through the checklist, and it meets all the state requirements. Even the knobby tires are marked DOT which surprised me because they're an aggressive dirt tread.

The bad:
The Engineer who designed the body panels needs to be FIRED! At the very least make them assemble their own panels. The 4 tank & side plastic panels took longer to bolt on than assembling the entire rest of the bike!!!! NOTHING LINES UP! NOT A SINGLE BOLT HOLE! I finally got frustrated and started enlarging the mounting holes with a drill. Trust me, pay the extra $200 for pre assembled and make then do it! Lastly, kickstand is too long. Bike almost tips over if not careful.

Overall, the bike is cheap fun at a 3rd the cost of a name-brand bike.

I have about 8000 miles on this bike so far and I have to say the quality is really good I ride a bike on the street pretty much every day. I’ve had no major engine issues as long as you keep up on maintenance you should be perfectly fine. I did have a few issues when I first got the bike with one of the blinkers because one of the wires were cut xpro USA was more than happy to help me fix it sending me parts out for FREE. I did add a nibbi carb and and replaced the dirt tires for street ones after about 4000 miles I did recently get in a motorcycle accident and I am currently recovering the bike, took a lot of damage, but for how bad the accident was it held up really well in my opinion not sure if I’m able to fix it as of yet because I still have to recover. BUT THE QUALITY OF THE BIKE IS AMAZING AND I DO RECOMMEND THIS DIRTBIKE if you have any issues X pro USA has a great customer service that will help you with any issue that you need

I bought my X in 2024. I'm very happy with mine. A few idiosyncracies but the quality of it is far better than I ever expected. Order a decent headlight bulb and a carb jet kit first thing though. The carb is fine, just jetted lean. The headlight bulb is so weak you have to see it to believe it. Simple enough to buy a better bulb for it though. The X is best used as a modestly powered enduro/trail bike. But I commute a lot on mine anyway.

I am in the process of purchasing. I can't seem to find details on the difference between the 250X and the 250M. I didn't find a phone number or place on the website to send an email with this inquiry. Helpfully I get a response.

Quality product and a great company to buy from

All things considered, this bike was a deal, (Templar 250 X 6 speed) final price under U$2200 shipped, it arrived in about a week, ran well out of the box, (after some assembling) some parts were damaged, and promptly replaced after request.
So, performance is reliable, tractor like in a modern chassis, good enough for civil riding on local trails, customer service is outstanding and price is great for what it is. I am definitely happy.

Just looking to see when you’ll will get the X in a gin?

This bike is surprisingly good. The frame and wheels are high quality and burly. The suspension likewise is much better than I expected and easy to use. The carb is set lean but once you gain access to the bowl, it is easy to rejet. This is definitely geared for the dirt which is where I plan to use it most of the time.

Great, but having trouble getting the parts I need.

The bike is awesome!!! Rides nice and lots of power. TECH SUPPORT IS TERRIBLE. Seems like they just guess most of the time. They try to but could be better.

You get a lot of speed and fun for a 250, and the quality and price are great.

It's awesome to have a brand new motorcycle come to your door, especially when it's only a third of the price from the dealer stores... minimal assembly, all straightforward, just change the oil before you start it and you're done... mine has 50 miles on it and no troubles, has plenty of power, a bit heavy for me but that's okay...

It's amazing that you can have a dual sport of this quality shipped to your door for less than $2500. In my personal opinion, you get much more bike than that. This is a GREAT bike @ $3500 in my view.

This is a solid bike for the price, and I'm really happy with it. I've owned a few different motorcycles over the years, but this one is awesome. It could use some improvements, though. The biggest things that bothered me when I put this bike together were the shoddy plastics, which had shavings from the holes they drilled with the decals already attached, which looked awful. The headlight is no good, just replace it with one from the part store. Some parts were damaged during shipping, but their service help is incredible, they got me new parts in a flash. The chain on this bike was too long and the adjusters were all the way out, but I had a chain breaker and I cut the chain by two links and now it looks great. I made the bike fit me with the adjustable shocks. It would be nice if it came with a magnetic drain plug from the start. The title arrived fast. The 6 speed engine is super smooth for an air cooled engine. I've ridden 150 miles on the bike and I have no complaints. People complain about the carbs, but it was actually pretty good from the start. The stock carb is just as good as any aftermarket one if you know how to work on the carb and make some adjustments.

I have been a motorcycle mechanic for 40 years. In that time I have never found a better bike for the price. I recommend the Templar M250 to all my customers.

Great bike it’s taking a lot of time to get my MSO

They have the best customer service in the world. They resolved the small issues I faced and made everything awesome. The bike is very powerful, and I assure you that you will be happy with it! I added some aftermarket accessories and so on, and it's been amazing. You get more than what you pay for!! The welds are of high quality, and the build is good all around!

I have no issues with the engine, I'm very pleased with the torque, the speed, the stability. It's worth the money and I'm going to have fun with it this summer 2023. Greetings from South Carolina to x-pro, well done!

The bike has been great so far and I haven't had any problems. It came early and the customer support was awesome. It was easy to put it together with some basic tools and another person to help with the main suspension. I couldn't fit all the wires in the plastic bag, so I used electrical tape to cover each connector and keep them dry. I also followed another reviewer's advice and used zip-ties to secure some of the cables and the sparkplug wire to the frame, so they wouldn't touch the motor. The chain needed some adjustment (I found the specs on the xpro website, because the manual they gave me didn't have them). It's been very cold here, so the bike takes some time to warm up and I think the carburetor needs some tuning. I'm going to replace the stock carburetor with a better one, like others have done. I did a lot of research on this bike before buying it, and I also have a "red" 250L, which is not as good as the Templar in many ways. The Templar X has more power and can carry more weight. I'm planning to do a blog or some kind of long-term review of the bike, but for now I'm happy with the price.

Absolutely fantastic product and company to do business with. I would and will recommend them to anybody looking for an easy transaction with great customer support.

Purchasing was quick, and simple. Everything arrived on time and in great condition, and overall this bike is an incredible value! I'm honestly blown away and couldn't ask for more. Thank you!

The bike was good overall. The only thing I didn't like was that it was too slow for the highway without changing the sprockets. I also had to replace the carburetor because it wouldn't idle, but I was planning to do that anyway.
I wanted to upgrade the sprockets, the carburetor and the exhaust on this bike.
The only real problem I have is that the bike doesn't have a kickstart. I could jump-start it if I needed to, but not having a backup kickstart is a bummer.
The bike is worth the money though.
Thanks,
JT Thompson

It's a worthwhile purchase, but it requires 6speed to be ready for the highway. It's torquey and peppy on the bottom end, but it's slow as a turtle on the top end. But all in all, I'm super happy and it went beyond my expectations. It's got adjustable forks and suspension. And I'm supposed to get the mso to title it soon, so I'll update you on that. Update: I received the MSO and the bill of sale, so now I need to get the bike inspected to get a title (my state requires inspection for out of state bikes), so we'll see what happens. Insurance was tricky to get, no one could locate the VIN, so I entered it on geico and when it said the vin was incorrect, I proceeded anyway and it worked. I have no idea how, but I got insurance. BUT... the insurance says xpro Templar, but the MSO says ZUMA xb250 something, lol, so we'll see how that works out.
