How rivals compare

same type, similar capacity, high test volume

On first-time pass rate the LUDIX SNAKE beats 2 of its 4 closest rivals (PEUGEOT SPEEDFIGHT, PIAGGIO ZIP, PIAGGIO NRG).

Rivals share this bike's type and sit within ±30% of its engine capacity, ≥ 5,000 tests. Card colour = better/worse first-time pass rate than the LUDIX SNAKE.

Pass rate by registration year

how each model-year cohort fares · registration year from first use date

Best year to buy used: 2004 (71.2% pass). Weakest: 2006 (57.5%).
