Tanque de 9L estilo CRF230 adaptável para Tornado XR250

 

CRF230-Inspired Design for Tornado XR250 Projects

The Gilimoto CRF230 Style Tank is a 9-liter adaptable fuel tank developed for riders who want to give their Tornado XR250 a modern CRF230-inspired appearance while maintaining a practical fuel capacity for everyday trail riding and off-road use.

 

Unlike a direct replacement tank, this is an adaptation product that allows builders to customize the motorcycle with updated styling. It is a popular option for custom projects, trail bikes, and riders looking for a different look without sacrificing durability.

 

Manufactured in Brazil using high-strength rotomolded thermoplastic, the tank combines lightweight construction with excellent resistance to impacts, vibration, UV exposure, and modern ethanol-blended fuels.
