The Acanto BTF XL DLX 49cc Mini Quad: Extreme Adventure for Young Riders
Discover the Acanto BTF XL DLX 49cc Mini Quad, the perfect companion to introduce your children to the joys of riding while combining safety, performance, and durability. Designed for young riders aged 6 to 10, this 2-stroke 49cc quad delivers controlled power (1.8 kW) and a top speed of 40 km/h, ideal for smooth progression on tracks or private terrain. Its premium design, featuring a high-end painted frame and Beadlock rims, makes it a model that blends sporty aesthetics with exceptional durability. At XtremRS, we selected this model for its perfect balance between driving pleasure and enhanced safety—a top choice for demanding parents.
High-performance disc brakes for optimal safety on this 49cc Mini Quad
Safety is our top priority. This Acanto 49cc Mini Quad is equipped with front and rear disc brakes, providing immediate and progressive stopping power—essential for young riders in training. Unlike entry-level models with drum brakes, this system ensures optimal responsiveness, even after intense sessions. We strongly recommend regularly checking brake pad wear and brake fluid levels (see our safety guide for ages 6-10). One detail that makes all the difference: the ergonomic brake handle, designed for small hands, ensuring intuitive and fatigue-free control.
Automatic transmission with semi-enclosed chain case: Reliability and simplicity for beginners
Forget complex clutches! This 49cc Mini Quad features a continuously variable automatic transmission (13T/64T ratio), perfect for young riders. The semi-enclosed chain case effectively protects against mud splashes and reduces derailment risks while allowing easy access for maintenance. Our XtremRS experts emphasize the importance of lubricating the T8F chain after every ride (check out our 49cc engine maintenance tutorial). The large foot platform (300 mm) and adjustable seat height (510 mm) ensure a natural riding position, reducing fatigue during long sessions.
Dual sport exhaust: Controlled power and sound for a premium 49cc Mini Quad
The dual sport exhaust on this Acanto quad is more than just an aesthetic feature: it optimizes gas flow for better engine performance while producing a deep, characteristic sound that young riders love. Unlike entry-level models, this system reduces unwanted vibrations and improves engine durability. Caution: To maintain performance, we recommend regularly cleaning the mufflers (avoid corrosive products) and checking the fasteners after each use. A technical detail that reflects this quad's premium quality: the stainless steel clamp bands, ensuring longevity.
Adjustable aluminum shock absorbers: Comfort and stability on all terrains
The adjustable front and rear aluminum shock absorbers make this 49cc Mini Quad a true technological gem for young riders. With a 6-inch tread (14x4.10-6 tires) and 190 mm ground clearance, this quad absorbs shocks from rough terrain while maintaining exemplary stability. Preload adjustments allow customization of firmness based on the child's weight (up to 60 kg load capacity) and terrain type. Our real-world tests (see our terrain comparison) confirmed its flawless performance, even on bumpy tracks like La Roche-en-Brenil or Venarey-les-Laumes.
LED lighting and practical features: Visibility and functionality for a versatile quad
Although designed for daytime use, this Acanto 49cc Mini Quad includes front LED lights (optional depending on the version) for better visibility in low-light conditions. The key ignition with 2 keys provided and the safety kill switch (mandatory for thermal models) are essential features for safe riding. The front and rear aluminum luggage racks (max load 5 kg) allow transporting helmets, gloves, or a small first-aid kit—a practical detail for family outings. At XtremRS, we provide an additional mounting kit for waterproof bags, ideal for extended sessions.
BTF XL 6" tires and Beadlock rims: Grip and durability for demanding young riders
The 6-inch BTF XL tires mounted on Beadlock rims (bead-locking system) are the premium signature of this quad. This combination delivers exceptional grip on all terrains (dirt, sand, grass) and enhanced puncture resistance. Unlike standard tires, the reinforced rubber of the BTF XL resists premature wear, even after hours of intensive use. Our experts recommend checking tire pressure before each ride (0.8 bar front / 1 bar rear) and cleaning the rims with a non-acidic product to preserve their shine. A lasting investment for years of compromise-free fun.

1. What is a 49cc Mini Quad, and who is it for?
The Nitro Motors Acanto BTF Tire XL DLX 49cc Mini Quad is a miniature quad designed for children (typically ages 6-8 and up, depending on size and maturity). Powered by a 2-stroke 49cc engine (1.8 kW), it offers moderate power (up to 40 km/h) while remaining safe for recreational use. It is ideal for beginner or intermediate young riders who want to learn riding safely under adult supervision. Its compact size (6" wheels) and lightweight (39 kg) make it maneuverable and suitable for flat or slightly uneven terrain.
2. Is this quad road-legal, or is it for private use only (terrain, garden)?
No, this 49cc Mini Quad is not road-legal in France. It is designed exclusively for off-road use (private land, gardens, closed tracks).

3. What is the top speed of this quad, and can it be limited for safety?
The maximum speed is 40 km/h, though this may vary depending on the rider's weight and terrain. For parents wishing to limit speed, options include:- Adjusting the carburetor (reducing fuel intake to limit performance).- Using a throttle limiter (optional accessory).- Changing the transmission ratio (by modifying sprockets, but this requires mechanical knowledge).We recommend starting at low speeds for beginners and gradually increasing.
4. What type of fuel and oil should be used for this 2-stroke engine?
This 2-stroke engine requires a specific fuel-oil mix at a ratio of 1:25 (1 part oil to 25 parts fuel).
