The Dirt on Stout Boonie Bikes
The Dirt on Stout Boonie Bikes
IF IT AIN'T FUN, WE DON'T WANT NONE
Our minibike motto. Hell, it’s our motto for all of the bikes we meddle with, but this thing promises plenty of that and then some. It’s been labeled the “Baddest Mini Bike Around” which piqued our interest, and as you know, we at ICON are always up for testing such theories. Naturally, we had to get our hands on one.
Big Dirt energy
We ordered ourselves up the ‘Race Ready’ model from Matt Stout at StoutMinis.com and in about a week we were uncrating the little powerhouse in our shop. With just a spit of gas and a pull on the recoil, it fired right up and was already lurching forward with an appetite for destruction. But wait, do we put on a helmet? What about some other gear? These are the things that may run through your head but quickly get thrown out when you’re staring down a minibike. “It’s so small and low to the ground. What’s the worst that can happen?” one might say. And therein lies the problem. With that minibike false sense of security in mind we can already tell that this is not one to mess with in that way. We can foresee twisting the throttle on this little guy landing us with a good blow to the dome and a little road rash. Nothing we haven’t gotten a taste of before, but this is your warning. Put your helmet and gear on cuz if minibikes had muscles, this one would be the Ronnie Coleman of minibikes with an enlarged middle finger.
Handcrafting one possible future
Speaking of Colemans; reminiscing on our Coleman minibike build we did back in 2019- we thought that was a spicy build, but this one just might hit a bit higher on the Scoville scale. No shade thrown towards the Coleman minibike game, it’s a damn good one at that, we’re just saying as history would have it, we’re in the business of outdoing ourselves for the foreseeable future. One possible future. And although this new minibike seems to have come with the guts to spin laps with ease against any other mini competitors to come our way, we still have to give it that ICONic look to really reel in the big glory.
