AJP has been praised by enthusiasts and media for its handling, top-notch components and great value. For 2017, AJP will bring back the PR3, PR4, and PR5 with some minor modifications, but the Portuguese manufacturer has also added two new models to the mix.

The big news is that AJP will now offer “Extreme” versions of the PR4 and PR5 for 2017! These two “flagship” bikes offer the lightest weight, best suspension, strongest brakes, and the most horsepower in the company’s 2017 lineup.

AJP boasts that its “passion for off-road riding” is incorporated into every hand welded frame. A single craftsman builds each chassis from scratch to a complete running motorcycle to ensure consistent quality. The factory in Europe uses high quality components such as Michelin tires, Twin Air filters, Sachs suspension, Delphi electronics and Polisport plastics – to name a few.

2017 PR5 Extreme 250 – MSRP $7299. Component upgrades include: Sachs 48mm upgraded forks; BrakTec hydraulic clutch; Galfer brake rotors; Factory Radiator Guards; Red Silicone radiator hoses; Red anodized aluminum brake pedal; New Cherry Red Metallic color; and Michelin S12 XC tires.

AJP says its complete 2017 model line-up of off-road motorcycles will be shipped to dealerships in September.
