New Coleman models

[SAS289]

B200 and B200RSV

Disc brakes and torque converters. One with rear suspension.

They look beefy.

I bet the fully suspended model will be popular.

They sure don't look like classic mini bike frames though, do they ?

 

[sparkwizard]

Those frames look similar in design to some old Honda ATC frames. Then again, maybe it's just because they are red.

If the price are not too outrageous, they should sell well.
At about 750, I am interested.

 

[SAS289]

Should be pretty good riders with just a "stage 1" kit.

Hopefully they got the shock spring rate right. Otherwise it's just going to bottom out with what appears to be only a few inches of travel.

I like the look of those frames. The B200RSV with suspension will probably hanging around $900-1000. That seems to be about what modern mini bikes with full suspension are priced.

It’s not exactly the same, but bears a high resemblance to the Mega Moto 212 models. Probably an evolution of that design from the same Chinese factory…

Yes, that was what I thought too..resembling MM.

I typically try to be positive...so let's try this...I'm positive that I don't like the design.

My guess is that the hardtail model will be $900-1000 and the full suspension model will be $1100-1200. The current RB/RT200 and BT200X are $800 from Walmart. I expect the B200 to be $100-200 higher than that, then add another $200 for the B200RSV. The Massimo MB200S and the Trailmaster Hurricane are in the $1100-1300 range, depending on retailer.

Yes, looks like they started with the MM-B212 Pro Series frame (basically what the RB/RT200 model has) then made changes for each of these models.

Just eyeballing it, assuming it's fully extended in that photo, I'd guess that shock has about 1.5" of travel, plopping my 235 lb ass on it would probably use most of that in sag.

They finally put some mid-mounted footpegs on a new mini. Forward mounted pegs make zero sense and my back hurts just thinking them.

 

[massacre]

Never was a fan of these bikes. But they seem to be pretty popular

I'm planning on getting the B200RSV soon as it is available. Just hope the suspension setup is better than the POS MB200S from Massimo that I had all the probs with !

And you shouldn't need a chain tensioner or the major frame work that the trailmasters need.

I sure hope not ! I was about to buy a TM, when someone posted a pic of the B200RSV on our FB page (Minibike Newbees) I like the MM212 frame, but I want rear Suspension. I've already made contacts and should be getting one soon as they're ready. Have not got a date yet. Plan on doing a true non bias review on it, just like I did on that POS Massimo MB200S.

 

[Charles S]

Wow! The B100 is super-ugly! The only thing I like about it is the vertical cylinder engine (Lifan, I'm guessing), which could look good with a remote tank, custom exhaust and intake.



Coleman's first small bike, the CT100U, was their coolest, IMO. An old-school minibike look for less than the cost of a rotted out vintage frame. I've never understood why they even brought out the CC100X (or why Baja switched from the 1st gen DB to that frame).

Totally agree; why did they quit making to best one!

 

[sparkwizard]

I have a CT100U and I love it. I want another one for a 2 smoke I am working on. Put some 5 inch stud tread tires on it and ride!

all the other colemans other then the mm212 versions are pure garbage IMO. thin crap tubin that cracks in about a half dozen spots on those frames.

that full suspension version is a winner for sure! Next to a trailmaster mb200, these frames are the best, now with rear suspension, they would make a killer street crusier.
