This winter of the Winter Olympics, what kind of "playing with snow" posture is the most capable? Recently, ski world champion Li Nina issued a "high-energy snow challenge" to the old cannons in the cross-country circle: she sent a hero post throughout the network, inviting the old guns to challenge the super difficult "black level" slope climbing. How hard are the "black" pistes? The slope is steep and the length is extremely large, making it a difficult ceiling in the pistes. In the face of such a high degree of difficulty, is there really a vehicle that can complete it? The answer is yes, the BJ40, which came down from Dakar, completed the challenge calmly.
A few days ago, Chen Zhen, the host of the off-road road book and the founder of the Radish Report, successfully reached the top of the Beijing Off-Road BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition with a total length of nearly 800 meters, a maximum drop of more than 150 meters, and a maximum slope of 35%. Why does the BJ40 run the Dakar and climb the "black slopes", but the other Internet celebrity SUVs in the off-road circle choose to be silent?
Why did the BJ40 successfully climb the black slopes?
The biggest difference between BJ40 and other internet celebrity off-road vehicles is that BJ40 has always been known for its professional reliability in the off-road circle, and for off-road fans who like to pursue professionalism and extremes, BJ40 is a veritable "old cannon". Compared with many off-road gimmicks of the Net Red SUV, the reflection in the product is the difference in strength shown in performance.
Specific to Chen Zhen's BJ40 Ring Tower Champion model that completed the challenge this time, this difference is even more obvious. The BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition, which is called "China's strongest off-road car" by netizens, as a hardcore off-road vehicle, whether it is body structure or off-road performance, it can be called the top grid configuration of professional off-road.
Friends who like off-road know that when the vehicle is climbing, when encountering a complex lane similar to a shell crater and crossing axle, the center of gravity of the vehicle may move backwards, and the rear axle will release stronger power, and the vehicle is likely to look up or even overturn.
However, the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition is equipped with front and rear electronic differential locks and time-sharing electronic control four-wheel drive, equipped with "three locks", which can amplify the torque by 2.542 times in 4L mode, with a strong ability to get out of trouble, even if it encounters cross shafts, shell craters, muddy and slippery roads can pass calmly. In extreme cases, such as when the diagonal wheels are dangling during a hill climb, the front axle lock can also come in handy, allowing the vehicle to pass smoothly.
Moreover, the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition has a 37° super approach angle, 31° super departure angle, and 220mm ultra-high ground clearance, which is better than the passability of the same level, making it easy to cope with various complex terrains. At the same time, the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition is also equipped with the "Eye of the Champion", which only takes one second to open the forward-looking image system, and the field of vision is instantly open, so that the driver is not afraid of the danger of the road ahead, which is also a great weapon when climbing.
On the basis of strong ability to get out of trouble and passability, the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition is also equipped with a 2.0T+8AT powertrain, which can provide sufficient power reserves when dealing with the climbing of ice and snow roads, with a maximum power of 165kW and a peak torque of 380N·m. When facing the black slopes, the driver can also have enough confidence to step on the throttle to the bottom and climb to the top.
Behind the BJ40 challenge black slopes is an innate professional gene
Behind the BJ40's challenge to the black slopes and the successful summit is Beijing's consistent pursuit of hardcore off-road. For more than 60 years, Beijing Off-Road has always adhered to professional off-road and deep ploughing off-road technology, and has accumulated strong technical strength and rich experience in off-road vehicle production. In 2013, the first generation of BJ40 should be born "professional off-road", and also gradually introduced professional off-road to the general public.
Non-bearing body, super strong passability, domestic rare anti-roll frame configuration, BJ40 in the professional hardcore road all the way, so far to develop into China's strongest off-road single product army, and each model has a super single combat ability, based on professional off-road, to meet the extreme off-road or take into account the needs of urban life and so on.
The Champion Edition of the Ring Tower, positioned in the BJ40 Legion as the "ultimate off-road" and "China's strongest off-road car", is its professional off-road top grid configuration, as well as a smart car machine system specially created for off-road scenes.
The Blade Hero Edition, which was listed last year with the Ring Tower Champion Edition, is the technical crystallization of Beijing's off-road participation in the Dakar Rally, and its diesel version is one of the few 200,000-class diesel automatic models in China, with a full range of up to thousands of kilometers, which is the best choice for domestic professional long-distance off-road.
The City Hunter Edition is a boundary-breaking work of off-road vehicles, carrying the transformation of Beijing's off-road from "professional hobby" to "public life". City Hunter takes into account both off-road and urban car needs, with a more rugged appearance, a more comfortable interior, more efficient power and better quality control.
Each model of the BJ40 Legion has its own unique characteristics, supporting the name of off-road in its own world, but it is inseparable from its origin, and the innate "professionalism" is still their common insistence.
The impressive record highlights the professional strength of the BJ40
Then again, this black-level snow track challenge is actually just a small "microcosm" of BJ40's deep ploughing of professional off-road, and such challenges, BJ40 has handed over too many eye-catching report cards.
Not long ago, Dong Changkai, an off-road master known as "Tamamo King" by riders, drove his BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition to complete a single bicycle crossing N39. It should be known that N39, which has the title of "Death Straight Line", has always been a special and sacred existence in the off-road circle, and its east-west crossing of the Taklamakan Desert, a total of nearly 1,000 kilometers, is the most difficult and longest desert crossing route in China.
In this challenge, even after many tests such as getting stuck in the car, entering the pit, carrying the car, etc., the Beijing off-road BJ40 still performed very well, and in the absence of road signs, no roads, and no rescue, it refreshed the world record of this death line with 7 days and 5 hours, and once again created a legend.
In the professional events of the off-road circle, the BJ40's strong strength has also been further recognized. In the 2021 Dakar Rally, the first-time BJ40 team won the first and second place in the rookie category with its hardcore strength. This year, Beijing Off-Road once again became the only Chinese force in the Dakar Rally Manufacturer Group, demonstrating the responsibility and strength of the industry leader.
Conclusion:
Back to the original question, why can the BJ40, which came down from Dakar, climb the "black slopes" again, but the tank 300 and other "net red SUVs" can't? In fact, the answer is already clear. Focus on the brand gene of hardcore off-road, strong off-road performance, and matching high safety and high reliability, so that BJ40 has the confidence and courage to calmly deal with black-level ski trails, such an operation is only a routine operation for BJ40, for the pursuit of off-road fans and off-road gimmicks of the Internet red model, or find their own positioning, do not reluctantly as good, after all, off-road to safety as the premise, find their own track, serve the light off-road users, but also contribute to the development of off-road culture.
