Touring Bike is a popular car in the motorcycle category overseas, and in China we call it a motorcycle, which is generally mainly used for long-distance motorcycles. In this class of models, the most famous is the Honda Golden Wing, but its starting price of 388,000 yuan in China is still beyond the reach of many car owners. But in 2021, the two motorcycle manufacturers of the domestic head launched two motorcycles, so that domestic SUV enthusiasts have a more affordable choice, let's take a look at who these two cars are.
Qianjiang Benali - 1200GT
Guidance price: 99,800 yuan
In terms of appearance, The Benali 1200GT, as the first domestically listed public upgraded GT model, is particularly thick in design, and the majestic front visual experience, combined with the wide body deflector cover, makes people very impressed. The wide deflector cover at the front of the car provides sufficient air diversion at high speeds, reducing the impact of wind pressure on the driver. The body size of The Benali 1200GT is 2420 * 970 * 1620mm, its wheelbase has reached 1550mm, and the weight of the car has come to 320kg, so the size and weight of the three dimensions can bring more good stability to the long-distance motorcycle for the motorcycle.
In terms of configuration, the front of the Benali 1200GT adopts an integrated LED headlight set, and the internal lens can also make the illumination effect better. The electric windshield is not only larger in size, but also more convenient in the mode of infinite adjustment. In addition, the standard front and rear driving recorder eliminates the trouble of later line breaking modification.
Benali 1200GT is equipped with electric mid-support electric reversing assistance, for this 320KG big guy, with this daily in the parking, reversing is a lot of worry.
The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument also appears to be very scientific and technological, but the temporary functional performance is not as good as the Spring Wind 1250TR-G (later models will be upgraded to configure the mobile phone interconnection function).
The three-box configuration is a must-have for the motorcycle, and the performance of the SHAD large-capacity side box 50L tail box used in the original factory can make the journey more secure.
In terms of brake and suspension system, the Benali 1200GT uses the M4.32 radiant conjunctive four-piston calipers provided by Brembo, with a 320mm floating disc, which is enough to make this big man feel at ease in terms of braking power performance; the suspension system configuration adopts the damping adjustable inverted fork provided by KYB, and the rear shock absorption is also provided by KYB, and has a preload adjustment function.
In terms of power, the engine can be said to be a major attraction of the Benally 1200GT, this 1209cc three-cylinder engine with pure Benally technology can release a maximum power of 100kW at a speed of 9000rpm, and the maximum torque also reaches 120Nm/6500rpm. Such a dynamic parameter, its low torque will explode earlier, and at the same time at high speeds, it will perform well. Secondly, the three-cylinder engine has better performance than the V-type twin cylinder of the Spring Wind 1250TR-G in terms of vibration, and the most important thing is that the sound wave of the three-cylinder will be more beautiful.
Spring Breeze Motorcycle - 1250TR-G
Guidance price: 99,980 yuan
In terms of appearance, Chunfeng 1250TR-G launched two color schemes of star flare white and deep sea blue, and the solid color coating also left room for personalized modification after purchasing the car. Compared with the Benali 1200GT, the exterior design of the Chunfeng 1250TR-G is more designed.
The pressure on the front of the car is stronger; and the oversized headlights make people feel more technological from the shape. As chunfeng's first publicly upgraded luxury sports station wagon, the Chunfeng 1250TR-G is not only equipped with a wealth of electronic configurations, but also features in terms of comfort. The huge headlights still use the TR-G family design, and the headlights are rich in design.
The original standard 43.3L capacity side box, can easily put down a helmet, and the side box and the body to maintain the same color matching, will not destroy the overall aesthetic, but not equipped with a rear trunk, which is a bit of a pity.
In terms of configuration, Chunfeng has almost exhausted everything in the configuration of this car, equipped with a 12.3-inch TFT full-color instrument, support for mobile phone projection screen, tire pressure monitoring and other rich functions, which is better than Benali 1200GT in multimedia performance.
Chunfeng 1250TR-G is quite rich in configuration, not only has four riding modes of competition, sports, street and rain, HHC ramp assist, keyless start and other electronic configurations; but also in terms of hardware configuration, it is equipped with German Mueller steering damping (titanium ruler), MAGURA hydraulic clutch, CF-SC sliding clutch, electronic throttle, electrically adjusted windshield, heated handlebar, fixed speed cruise These configurations match the import.
In terms of shock absorption and braking system, it is equipped with MARZOCCHI inverted front shock absorption, full section adjustable, stroke 130mm, and mid-mounted rear shock absorption is full section adjustable, stroke 128mm. In terms of brakes, the front brake adopts a 320mm floating front dual disc design with Brembo converse 4-piston radiant calipers, while the rear brakes adopt a combination of 270mm fixed single disc discs and Brembo contrapuntal dual-piston calipers, and come standard with a cornering ABS system.
In terms of power, it is equipped with a 1279cc 75° V-type twin-cylinder engine from KTM, with a compression ratio of up to 12.5:1, which can output 105kW maximum power at 8500rpm and 120N·m maximum torque at 7000rpm; although the curb weight reaches 304kg, it is still enough to cope with long-distance motorcycle travel in the face of this set of power.
Compared with the price of hundreds of thousands of yuan for imported models, the price of Benagli 1200GT and Chunfeng 1250TR-G these two cars of less than 100,000 yuan is undoubtedly more grounded, and these two cars are also the only two public upgraded motorcycles in China, which also makes fans of holiday motorcycles pay special attention to these two cars. Through the previous introduction, it can be found that these two cars have their own advantages. The three-cylinder of the Benari 1200GT is the biggest selling point, the characteristics of the three-cylinder make the power performance more linear when driving at low/medium/high speed, and the Spring Wind 1250TR-G will be better in long-distance riding comfort and auxiliary function performance.
