Do you remember the news that Kaiyue released about the four-cylinder engine at the Chongqing Motorcycle Expo last year? At that time, the appearance of this four-cylinder can be said to have made many riders excited, and now Kaiyue has not broken his word, it really came. Let's listen to the sound of this domestic four-cylinder first.
Kaiyue's 399cc DOHC16 valve water-cooled four-cylinder engine has a maximum power of 55kW/13500rpm and a maximum torque of 44N·m/12000rpm, while the weight of the entire engine is only 42kg, and the current popular Kaiyue 321RR engine is 41kg, and the weight of one kilogram brings nearly double the power, which is still very surprising.

Kaiyue revealed that the follow-up four-cylinder engine will also match the imitation racing model as soon as possible, according to the official reveal, the curb weight of this four-cylinder imitation is 160kg, and the design speed is 220km/h.
Writing this, I am looking forward to what kind of spark its four-cylinder power combined with the weight of 160kg will be stimulated. In addition, Kaiyue plans to achieve small-scale production of four-cylinder engines by the end of the year.
If this Kaiyue sports car can land smoothly, it will be the first domestic 400-class four-cylinder sports car. The reason why the 400-class four-cylinder sports car has been favored by many riders is not without reason. First of all, the 400cc displacement is the golden displacement in the motorcycle, whether it is daily commuting or passionate driving. The CB400 of that year is a good example, and even now its charm is still undiminished. At present, the Kaiyue four-cylinder engine is successfully ignited, but there is still a way to go to the specific implementation of the real car, and it is the time to test the strength of the Kaiyue car when the real car is landed.
In addition to the exhilarating four-cylinder ignition, Kaiyue also has some blockbuster news of the new car. Upcoming this year are the 321GT with the 321 platform highlighting long-distance motorcycle travel and the retro tone of the 321F. In addition to the 800ADV unveiled at the Motorcycle Expo, there will also be 800R street cars and 800RR imitation races. As for the parameters of the 800 engine, the official did not disclose. But according to Kaiyue's previous model speculation, this upcoming 800 engine should also have a good performance.
321F
These new cars cover imitation, street cars, retro, travel, ADV and other fields, which shows that Kaiyue is going to make efforts this year. Presumably, this year's motorcycle market is another big war, but as a consumer, this is a good thing, the more fierce the competition between manufacturers, the more favorable it is for car users.
Seeing today's Kaiyue makes the author feel some emotion, the Kaiyue of that year was just an unknown small factory, but now it is a brand that many Moyou are familiar with. This is inseparable from Kaiyue's car-making attitude and unremitting efforts. While other small factories are still making a fortune by relying on cottages, Kaiyue is at ease with research and development and serious car building, so it is not surprising that there are such achievements.
321GT
At present, kaiyue's car may still be insufficient, but the attitude determines everything, whether the manufacturer is serious about building a car, Moyou can see it. I hope that Kaiyue will continue to work hard to bring more and better models to Moyou! Domestically produced come on!
Which of the upcoming Kaiyue new cars are you looking forward to?
