The 125-class scooter market has always been a must for pathway models, and it is also the most competitive position for the three major Japanese joint venture brands, such as The Yorge Fuxi with Yamaha blue-core engine, ex125 and RX125 on Honda's NSC125 power platform, and UU125 and UY125 for the Light Riding Suzuki Super Core Power Platform. The newly launched Suzuki Youyi UE125, whether it can continue the strong sales of the U series, let's experience it first.
Accustomed to the rounded design of the UU125, the first look at the appearance language of the UE125, it feels obviously more fashionable and dynamic. The integrated headlight design is in the front shell, the appearance setting is more dynamic, and the lines and contours of the whole vehicle are relatively coordinated, giving people a more fashionable first impression, adding a lot of points.
Storage capacity and U series consistent, the front of the double box, with the use of hooks, daily storage needs are no problem, it is commendable that UE125 is equipped with USB charging port, intimate a lot.
Driving experience
The riding triangle is more close to the people, the actual 750mm sitting height is more inclusive, only 112kg of the curb quality, the vast majority of people can ride without pressure.
Guorui 177mm sits on the UE125, very relaxed, the hands naturally fall on the handlebars, the riding triangle is very comfortable, there is no feeling of curling up. In addition, it is worth mentioning that UE125 is also designed with a front foot pedal, but the angle of the foot pedal is high, and when actually riding, the legs have a certain curl, which is not very comfortable, which is not as good as UU125, UU125 Front foot pedal design angle is appropriate, and the feet are more comfortable on it.
Power experience
Since it is the third product of the U series. There is no doubt about the power platform, or the super core engine, Sanqi students have done acceleration tests, here I mainly talk about the driving performance of UE125. In terms of power acceleration, it is the same as the UU125 and UY125 I have ridden, after all, the same engine, the weight of the car is also similar. This is a machine that pays attention to low torque and fuel consumption performance, the speed increase from 0 to 60km/h is very fast, in one go, the acceleration of 60km/h to 80km/h is slightly slow, the acceleration is moderated relative to the front section, and the fastest run to the table display on the long downhill windless road is 103km/h, and the GPS is actually around 92km/h. In terms of commuting, the economic range of UE125 is between 50km/h and 60km/h, and the vibration suppression and wind noise control of the car in this range are relatively good, and it is very comfortable to drive, and there is a sense of experience of electric vehicles.
Braking experience
In terms of brake configuration, UE125 still uses the configuration of the front disc and the rear drum brake, which is also the standard of the mainstream joint venture small pedal. The sense of making hands belongs to the consistent Suzuki Style, the braking force gradually rises with the degree of pinching of the handle, very linear, emergency braking, we are braking at a speed of 60km/h, due to the soft adjustment of the front brake, even if the brake is buckled by a large force, the front wheel is not easy to appear to be locked, but in extreme cases, the rear wheel will be held to death, as long as the faucet is stabilized, it will not shake the tail.
It should be reminded that the vast majority of commuter pedals need to be braked at the same time front and rear, and in emergency, if the rear wheel is braked strongly alone, it is easy to hold the tail and shake the tail. It must be noted that without ABS, the front wheels can not be pinched to the end.
It is worth mentioning that this set of tires performs well in emergency braking, the sharp brake rear wheel is locked to grind out blue smoke, there is no sense of slippage, this set of tires is a sincere high-grip anti-slip tire, which is indeed better than the anti-slip of ordinary tires.
Mountain running experience
In addition to the needs of daily commuting, we also dragged UE125 to the Spring Wind Ten Miles, ran a few laps down, and was still relatively satisfied with the performance of UE125. The lightness brought by the weight of 112kg is very easy to use in the corners, and when there is a mistake in the wiring, unlike the large inertia brought by the high self-weight of the large row, the UE125 can flexibly correct the route, and it is easy to drive.
On the other hand, the tuning of the vehicle shock absorber is much tougher than the UU125, in exchange for better support in the bend. Brake vigorously before entering the corner, adjust the speed into the corner, the stability of the whole vehicle is better, turn over left and right in the continuous corner, the support of shock absorption is good, and there is no problem.
The choice of tires is a weakness, the rare weather is sunny when testing, but the air temperature is not high, the surface temperature is not enough, the original factory equipped with Chengyuan road tires, the performance in the bend has a certain deficiency, several times because of the adjustment of the route, the rear wheel is slightly hugged, so that the bending confidence is not very sufficient, of course, our tests are relatively limit. Normal speed cornering, daily running mountain play, this set of tires is enough. If you want to like more intense mountain running, you can replace it with a pair of half-hot melt high-grip tires like the UU125 Centenary Edition, and this problem will be solved.
Vibration experience
Vibration suppression has always been the consideration point of small-displacement single-cylinder pedal models, which can intuitively reflect the foundation of car building. Fortunately, the super core engine used in the U series still maintains an excellent standard, the vibration suppression is done at the same level of first-class level, and the slight vibration of the handlebar foot pedal when idling is not obvious. The vibration of the UE125 in acceleration is also slight, and by the time it is in its early forties, only the foot pedals can feel a certain vibration, but it is also accepted, and then it can quickly avoid this speed field, and almost no vibration is felt.
Here also to say that the light bumpy road filter experience, because the shock absorption adjustment is significantly harder than UU125, the sportiness has been significantly improved, over the slight broken road, the vibration effect is still good, but when encountering slightly larger potholes, there is a very obvious sense of bump. However, this car is mainly a city to walk, buy vegetables, and the opportunity to run bumpy roads is also very small, which can be ignored.
summary
From the price alone, the high-end version of UE125 8980 yuan, the high-end version of UU125 8680 yuan, the price difference of 300 yuan in the middle, in exchange for a more fashionable and sporty appearance, better sports performance, the original USB charging, redesigned lights, LED taillights, UE in this price range of commuter pedals, is still very competitive.
