Apollo
Posted by Unknown on 31st Aug 2018
I'll start by saying had some shipping and item color issues, but the bike itself is pretty nice at this pricepoint. Drained the shipping oil, used premium 4 stroke racing oil during break-in and had no issues. Starts first kick but you really gotta stand on this as the compression is really high. Carburetor that comes on it was non-adjustable besides the idle adjustment, no fuel/air mixture screw. I opted for the upgraded mikuni carburetor from orion for an extra 60$,it is adjustable and does better than the oem carb. The bike really has a good powerband with the right adjustments to the carb. Trail riding, I did have some shifting issues with it getting stuck in gear, but after a fresh oil change it seems to be smooth again. The chain that came on it was junk so i upgraded to a d.i.d. race chain and the difference is night and day. For the money it's actually a nice bike. A few upgrades and maintenance and it should last awhile.

For the price, you can't beat it.
Posted by Anthony tropeano on 15th Jul 2018
So after about 2 weeks, (due to some shipping issues) I finally received my bike. I chose to get it un-assembled. All in all,I think it is a great bike for starters. I'm 5'8 160lbs. Takes about 2hrs to put together, and started on the first kick. (After I changed the oil it came with) the Bike definitely has some power for it's price. Mine was shipped straight to my front door thanks to Orion powersports out of texas. I would definitely purchace from them again...

2017 Apollo Db-X18
Posted by Douglass on 25th Apr 2018
I ordered the Bike, and received it in four business days. The bike is Awesome, I bought it for myself. I am Just about 6FT, 200lbs. The bike pulls me no problem, and is very fun to ride. The bike comes with some nice features, and looks awesome. I bought my bike new in the create, and it came about 85% assembled. I did take a few hours to check all the bolts, make chain adjustments, change all the fluids (change the engine oil prior to operation). The bike sounds larger than it is, very happy with the purchase. The customer service I received was excellent.

Great bike for the money
Posted by Jason on 10th Mar 2018
The bike arrived fully assembled and packaged well. When it arrives, change the oil and go over all hardware on the bike. Starts easy and rides smooth. You can beat the value for someone who is learning or for younger kids getting into the sport. Thanks!

Love this bike & Orion
Posted by Debo on 21st Nov 2017
Cant beat this bike for the money. Get the upgraded Mikuni carb, well worth the money. Bike runs way better and much more responsive. Very happy with my purchase and Orion. Was my third purchase thru them and as always they are great!

You get what you pay for.

I had a issues with shipping, and so far (I've had it for 2 weeks) 2 minor issues. The customer service is great. I called twice with my problems and within minutes the problem was resolved. With all that said, it's a ok bike.

Great little bike!
Posted by Paul on 19th Sep 2017
I ordered this approximately a week before my birthday as a gift to myself. It arrived one day before the big day and was a breeze to put together (front wheel, forks, handlebars, front disc brake pads/assembly and the rear shock). There was a rather large hole in the bottom of the box resulting in the loss of one of the hex screws for the front shocks somewhere along the way. No big deal a little ingenuity and all came out fine (modified a nut to fit in the hole and used a longer screw). A few words of note...do not over tighten screws as the screw will strip out, double check all screws, bolts and nuts and spokes before riding and after the first few rides. Add loctite where needed.

awesome bike for the cost..
Posted by alan on 27th Jul 2017
Had a ton of Chinese bikes,this one is put together very well..only add on I would recommend is it needs a 1/4 turn throttle.. throttle on it now which is stock takes way too much turn to open up carb slide..

It's a good bike but when I got it gunk was in the Carburetor so had to clean it but other than that it's a great bike to go riding around on

Good platform but IMO a few upgrades need to be added
Posted by Dennis Martin on 19th Apr 2017
Bike from the factory is ok and will work just fine. Make sure to go over every bolt before your first ride and after your first ride. I removed all bolts to an extent and added lock tite to the threads and fastened back up. Got ride of the factory carb and filter as well as the fuel filter. Noticeable difference with carb swap ion response, low and top end. Changed out factory spark plug to a higher quality one. ONLY USE PREMIUM GAS.... it does not burn gas very fast so there is no reason to not spend the extra 50 cents per gallon for premium. Use bike for a good 2 hours of runtime then drain and refill with a full synthetic. Oil it ships with is ONLY break in oil. Takes less then a quart so no reason to not buy Synthetic. MTCE is KEY these are not HONDAS so you can tear it up all day and toss on garage. If you are looking for that type then look at spending 3k plus for a HONDA or like or you can buy this and take care of it...

Impressive
Posted by Dirt Demon on 15th Apr 2017
This was my first online purchase of something like this and im impressed. Very easy process and Orion PS was great. Bike arrived in perfect condition. I opted for assembly since I dont like messing with that stuff and it was mounted on a pallet perfectly. Bike started right up and runs great. Be sure and check your spokes, I had a few loose. Anyway, very happy.

Very pleased
Posted by David on 18th Mar 2017
Very nice bike, good looks and looks to be well built. It was the X-18 or the SSR 125TR and Im glad I picked the Apollo. Ill be a return customer to Orion for sure.

Best bang for your buck
Posted by Daniel Reid on 14th Feb 2017
Got bike yesterday and it was better then what I expected great customer service from the time I bought the bike until it hit my front doe was 7 days that's fast in my book and it's ready to ride all you gotta do is add oil and gas will only order from these guys thanks only bad thing was r&l customer service lady was very rude and not helpful at all that the only reason I didn't give 5 stars but that has nothing do with these guys !!!!!

Happy with my purchase
Posted by PK on 9th Feb 2017
I was hesitant to order one of these as ive never seen one in person but i decided to pulll the trigger. Called several dealers and Orion seemed to have the most knowledge and was happy to help me with questions. It was a big plus that they assemble and test the bike before it shipped. This made me feel 100x better.
Received the bike 5 days after i ordered, took it off the pallet, filled with gas and it started right up. Bike ran super smooth but i did have to adjust the idle. After break in was done i decided to get on it a little and was suprised at how much power these little bikes have. Very impressed so far and will most likely get the smaller version for my kid.

Great dirt bike
Posted by Tommy on 9th Feb 2017
Probly the best looking dirt bike on the market right now and the price is a steal. Orion included assembly and did the first oil change all included in the price. Hard to beat that. Bike shows up on a pallet ready to run, just like you picked it up at your local dealer. Pretty rad!
Everything worked perfect, started first kick.
