The 2025 CX50 FWE draws on over 30 years of class dominance in providing
this class-leading race machine to little rippers worldwide. The heritage of this motorcycle is
truly incredible; turn on pro motocross or supercross, and the vast majority of those athletes
raced a Cobra 50 early in their amateur careers. For 2025, we’ve made improvements to ensure
the CX50FWE retains its spot at the top of the class.
New 2025 Features:
- Updated Expansion Chamber for improved clutch engagement
- Low-friction needle bearing swingarm pivot.
- All-new swingarm thrust bearing dust seal.
- Mega-adjustable lower bottom guide.
- Rear brake-snake.
- Easy-to-maintain suspension pivot points.
Highlights for 2025:
Venom Series Engine: The CX50 Factory Works Edition delivers best-in-class power and
torque. At the heart of this little beast is a super-stiff crankshaft that ensures that all that
horsepower makes it to the ground.
Hybrid Oval twin spar/Backbone frame with revised structure and removable aluminum
subframe. The chassis reduces weight, improves handling, allows the radiator to be tucked in,
eases maintenance, and is stronger.
World Class Ergonomics provide a slimmer, flatter seat for easier fore-aft transitions and
accommodation for a larger range of rider size.
CARD front and rear brake system: World-class feel and responsiveness.
CARD rear shock features high and low speed compression adjustment and adjustable
rebound damping. The shock tucks in tightly for a slim mid-section, and with the new low friction
needle bearing swingarm pivot (exclusive on the CX50FWE), rear suspension action will be
smoother than ever.
Ergonomic hand holds that make lifting the bike easier both at the starting gate and onto the
stand.
Breakaway Low-Friction Ergonomic Brake Lever: The front brake features an ergonomic
lever designed to give rather than break during a tip-over.Micro Handle Bars: Cobra is proud to offer Micro Handlebars on the 2025 CX50FWE. These
bars have revolutionized the way that young riders control their motorcycles by offering a
reduced diameter grip area that inspires confidence and reduced fatigue.
Revolutionary MXT “Smart Leg” Front Fork: Cobra’s exclusive 35mm USD CARD fork is
designed to be the finest fork in minicycle racing! Cobra’s innovative design simultaneously
provides supple action over small bumps, and progressive control through the biggest of hits. A
feature especially important for minicycles that run on tracks torn up by bikes twice their size.
This fork also features fully adjustable rebound and compression damping and bottoming
control adjustment not found on any other fork, of any size, and is built on a spring cartridge
architecture that’s ready to tackle the toughest terrain right out of the crate.
Titanium: Cobra is bringing works level goodies to the minicycle market! The 2025 CX50FWE
features a super strong and lightweight Titanium rear axle and swingarm pivot. Additionally,
we’ve included all Aluminium fastening hardware to the mix.
Forged Aircraft Grade Aluminium Triple Clamps with Integrated Bar Mount: These clamps
are lightweight, impart low clamping forces into the fork tubes for improved suspension action,
and they provide a clamping feature onto the steering stem for improved steering feel.
Dunlop Geomax MX34 Intermediate-Terrain Tires: A high-end bike deserves high-end tires.
The 2025 CX50FWE will be outfitted with Dunlop Geomax MX34s front and back. Enhanced
grip, improved slide control, and a larger contact patch with the ground all add up to reduced lap
times. No corners cut here!
VP Racing - Factory Fill: Cobra and VP Racing have teamed up to ensure that each Cobra
model comes with the finest lubricants and chemicals. This includes everything from wheel
bearing grease to brake fluid, suspension fluid, to the oil on the air filter.
Updated Styling: The 2025 CX50FWE comes adorned with a full-works graphics package that
includes a special Moto Seat traction seat cover.
