Gao Jin recently sent three new car messages in a row, namely GK1200 ultra-large displacement retro car, male upgrade V cylinder cruise THOR 1000, GK500 climbing version. And said that the GK500 climbing version will meet with you in February, the GK1200 will be in March, and the V-cylinder cruise THOR 1000 has not disclosed the release information for the time being.
Faster video interpretation
GK1200
The high gold GK1200 with large displacement, judging from the official pictures, the retro taste of the whole vehicle is quite sufficient.
1222cc engine
Torpedo exhaust
Vacuum spoke hubs
Classic round headlights, upright damping with dust jacket, spoke hubs, torpedo exhaust, rear double shock absorption. One of the most attractive is its oversized juxtaposition twin engine, which looks much fuller with its blessing.
In the configuration of GK1200 is also justified, like FCC sliding clutch, Bosch ABS, Nissin brake are standard, it is worth saying that it is equipped with electronic throttle and TC traction control system, which is still relatively rare in domestic models.
Cruise at fixed speed
Electronic throttle
With the electronic throttle, you can achieve a variety of driving mode options, which is convenient for the different needs of the knights, but how the specific performance is, it is necessary to wait for the follow-up test drive to do a detailed evaluation for everyone.
Bonnieville T120
In the same type, it is felt that the GK1200 is the British Triumph's Bonnieville T120, and it is undeniable that the Triumph T120 has a high achievement in retro, and its price is relatively affordable in a number of imported models of the same class as 13.2895W. According to the price of the foreign version of GK1200, the author estimates that the price should be more than 6W, if it can really be hoped, it will be great. So the question is, at half the price you can play a class of liters, and the power is not lost to the Triumph T120, how will you choose?
THOR 1000
In the hearts of many riders, most of them think that cruising without V cylinders has no soul, which is why many riders are so enthusiastic about American cruising, of course, this does not rule out the impact of the "Terminator" on everyone.
Now that Gao Jin's V-cylinder male upgrade cruise has been put on the agenda, although the specific release date has not been confirmed, it has also given the cruise fans some hope.
The appearance of the use of classic American cruising elements, but also equipped with 240mm ultra-wide tires to create a stronger visual impact, I personally think it is still quite uplifting, everyone looks like?
Belt driven
West reciprocal straight-pin clamps
Adjustable handstand damping
In terms of configuration, THOR1000 is equipped with the mainstream configuration of the market as standard, and on this basis, it also adds a Nissin hydraulic clutch, which is still quite surprising to the author, because the hydraulic clutch has a lighter and more accurate operating feel, so it will generally only appear on imported high-end models.
Everyone is familiar with it
At present, among the domestic models of the same level, there is really no direct competitor, but there is a potential opponent. It is the State Touring with the Cheate 1200cc, but the car is still in the concept stage. I think the successor models with the Cheat ZT1000V twin engine, naga and Borg, may become rivals.
Borg
Naga
But personally, I still prefer the modern and stylish cruise style of the high gold THOR1000, and the Chait two models are too ostentatious for me, which cruise style do you prefer?
As for the specific competitiveness of THOR1000, it also depends on the price and quality. I am looking forward to it, and I hope that Gao Jin will show his true ability and give the riders a satisfactory answer.
GK500 Climbing Edition
The new GK500 Climbing Edition not only emphasizes the design elements of OFF ROAD in terms of appearance, but also adjusts it internally to make it mildly off-road.
19 inch vacuum spoke hub
Lamp guard net
Water tank net
appearance
High fenders
Bottom skid plate
The walking part is equipped with 19-inch spoke wheels and multi-function tires, bottom guard plates, high fenders, water tanks and headlights with protective nets. The fuel tank is equipped with non-slip mats for easy standing and riding, and the overall feeling is a bit wild.
The shock absorption uses inverted KYB adjustable shock absorption, and its damping stroke is extended compared to the previous version, providing 200mm ground clearance, so mild off-road should not be a problem for it. However, the seat height is more hardcore to 830mm, and the Kaiyue 500F Wilderness Edition in the same class model is only 820mm.
Briefly speaking of the relevant parameters of the GK500 climbing version for your reference, equipped with a 486cc side-by-side twin-cylinder water-cooled 8-valve engine, the maximum power is 35kW/8500rpm, and the maximum torque is 43N·m/6750rpm, because the climbing version has replaced the 19-inch wheel hub and installed some mesh protection and other configurations, and the overall quality has increased by 2kg to 192kg.
Kaiyue 500F Wilderness Edition
In the same class of models, the benchmark GK500 climbing version, I personally think that the price of 3.89W Kaiyue 500F Wilderness Edition is an opponent, although the Kaiyue 500F also has a climbing version, but I feel that in terms of configuration and riding style, or the Wilderness Edition and GK500 Climbing Edition are closer, now look at the price of the GK500 Climbing Edition, the previous coffee version and the crossing version are 3.48W and 3.59W, personal speculation climbing version may rise slightly on this basis, what price do you think GK500 climbing version will be?
Finally, to say my personal opinion, for domestic motorcycle companies to independently design and produce large-displacement entertainment motorcycles, is an effective means to show their technical strength, enhance brand value and recognition, which is also the reason why in recent years, many domestic motorcycle companies have increased the research and development of large-displacement models. This is a good thing for the domestic motorcycle market and for Moyou. I hope that domestic goods will continue to work hard and intelligently create more good cars that are worthy of the trust of car owners.
Which of these three new cars do you think has the potential to become blockbusters?
