Default Roketa Opinions

I’ve been looking at the Roketa Buggies a lot lately and there 800cc model has really caught my eye. What are your opinions on the Roketa Brand? They have some awesome rides for a really good price. Is it worth it or what? Here's a look at the buggy I'm looking at.

Yes a very good topic sir. Roketa is a hit and miss brand, they are sometimes reliable but more times than not they are nice looking buggies but will have troubles.

Roketa comes down to the support you can get. If you have a stand up dealer who can and will get parts your typicaly good. But they could stop producing that model and it could become harder to get parts. It does seem lately most guy's have been happy with their Roketas

I like mine(GK28). The size was my main issue (I'm 6' @ 205) so I needed a "full size" buggy. The frame tube size, suspension, and large tires sold me. After owning this one for 4 years, yes it has had a few issues. I dont know about the model you are looking at by my airbox was crap from the get-go. If it looks suspicious, replace it. I bought mine in the crate so I could assemble myself. Between my kids , my wife, my brother and myself we have put a lot of hours on it and enjoyed every minute. I have added a 155cc kit, uni filter and made my own header and rejetted. Major fun especially in the snow!

Nice buggy- what's up with the spec- "climbing ability"-10 degrees? That can't be right, that's barely steeper than most driveways

Roketa has gotten better. There seems to be alot more suppport for them than use to be. As far as the performance specs on any brand buggys...I dont even pay attention to them, as we will most likely mod the buggy anyways. 10 degrees is funny though.
