I remember that last year, Mozhan Guangyang unveiled the KRV180, and at that time, both the appearance and the revealed configuration of this pedal made Moyou very interested. However, the price recently announced by Gwangyang made Moyou take a breath of cool air. The ABS+TCS version of 2.98W and the ABS version of 2.78W are respectively.
This KRV180 inherits many of the characteristics of its big brother AK550, and the angular polyline design on the appearance highlights the sharp style of combat. The configuration includes all-vehicle LEDs, split double-deck LCD instrumentation, keyless start, ABS system (standard), TCS system, PTM drivetrain and aluminum swingarm.
The power part is equipped with a single-cylinder 175.1cc four-valve engine, the book parameters are not proud of 12.5kW/8000rpm maximum power, 15N·m/6500rpm maximum torque, the curb weight is 141kg (TCS version 143kg) Power performance to meet the daily commuting is no problem, I am more looking forward to its handling experience, it is equipped with aluminum alloy swingarm can greatly reduce the quality of the sub-spring, adding points to the light driving experience.
It is worth saying that the general scooter due to the design of the power part, so that the center of gravity is relatively backward, and the KRV180 PTM transmission system, so that the vehicle's center of gravity tends to be balanced, thereby improving the stability of driving. Belt drive also provides a quieter and more comfortable ride.
In addition to having a sporty style, daily commuting is also well balanced. The flat pedal design at the front allows the knight to have more legroom and the seat bucket can also hold a full helmet. The 795mm seat is relatively high among the same class models, and the 170-tall knight can still easily ride. But the price of the KRV180 is a bit embarrassing, because the competitors in this price range are also very strong.
First of all, Sanyang's just unveiled JOYMAX F300, the official suggested retail price is 2.88W. It is equipped with a 278cc four-valve single-cylinder water-cooled engine that can output 19kW/8000rpm maximum power and 26N·m/6000rpm maximum torque. In terms of safety, ABS and TCS systems are standard, but the price is only 1000 yuan.
From the sports point of view, the Price of 2.08W Sanyang DRG BT150 is also a strong competitor, although the displacement is only 158cc, but the maximum power is 11.4kW / 8500rpm, the maximum torque is 15.5N· m / 6500rpm, while the curb weight is only 135kg, so that it has a small steel cannon-like driving experience, and its left and right inclination limit is also larger, which can make the Knight attack more confident. In terms of security, ABS and TCS systems are also standard, which I personally think Sanyang is more realistic.
PCX 160
NMAX155 TCS Edition
This is just a competitor of the Sanyang family, not counting Honda's PCX160 and Yamaha's NMAX 155 TCS version, these two models are similar in power to the KRV180, but the price is more affordable, and it also has advantages in brand added value. In fact, from the perspective of the configuration and design of the KRV180 vehicle alone, its competitiveness is still relatively characteristic, especially its transmission part adds a lot of points to the whole vehicle, but combined with its starting price of 2.78W, I personally feel that the pressure is still a bit big.
Which scooter would you choose for this price range?
