For riders who pay attention to the Seclon RC401 and RX401, the fifteenth day of the first month that has just passed is not only a Lantern Festival, but also a day to grab orders and blind boxes.
Sekelong officially announced the "contents" of the blind box before, Xiaobian took a look, or are used by car friends, no matter which one is actually quite cost-effective, anyway, there are at least 3 bottles of fully synthetic motor oil to guarantee the bottom.
Of course, it is great to get offers and prizes by ordering a car, but what users are most concerned about is the pricing and the quality of the car itself. In terms of price, starting from the pricing when the RX1S was released in January, Sectron changed the previous "arrogant" and became close to the people, and I believe that this pricing should also have a small surprise.
Regarding the two cars RC401 and RX401, Xiaobian has put together the information that can be collected so far to see if it can help the riders who want to place an order.
The new RC401, from the information that can be obtained at present, does not seem to be a shell replacement model of the two-cylinder retro re3 that Seclon is currently selling. Both in terms of powertrain and frame, the RC401 has a more obvious upgrade. Although the power part is also a two-cylinder water-cooled 8-valve TC401 engine, the maximum power of the two new cars has been increased to 33 kilowatts and equipped with a sliding clutch.
From the announcement of the 353rd batch of new cars released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in February, we can find that the RC401 has a curb weight of only 178 kilograms, which is very worth looking forward to compared with the weight of the domestic "brothers" of honda's CB500 platform (the power is only 2-3 kilowatts higher).
Where is the trick to weight loss? Of course, in the frame design, it can be found in the official release of the picture that the front of the frame of the RC401 still follows the steel pipe braided bi-wing beam structure of the previous Secosaurus Sports Street Car RZ3S, which ensures excellent body rigidity while focusing on lightweight. The rear suspension of the RC401 seems to use a rare mid-mounted shock absorption multi-link structure, and the installation angle of the rear shock absorber is almost parallel to the rear wheel rocker arm but not directly connected, and the specific riding experience will be fed back to the riders after subsequent tests.
The wheelset of the RC401 also looks like it inherits the RZ3S of its own sports street car, but the MIGRA S1 tire of the zhengxin CST of the first 110/70 R17 and the rear 150/60 R17 is the most cost-effective choice for domestic sports models. The 300 mm dual floating disc and the four-piston caliper in the direction are also well matched with the Bosch 9.1 version of the dual channel ABS.
The most recognizable features of the RC401's styling design are the sharp LED light set and wind fixing wing at the front of the car, and the three air outlets on the side of the body inspired by shark gills, which are located just behind the engine water-cooled heat exchanger, so it is reasonable to judge that this design has the practical function of helping the engine dissipate heat.
I have to say that from re3 onwards, Seclon finally found that the most important thing for cycling is to be "handsome", and appearance is king. The replacement of RC401 and RX401 finally makes the shape design stand at the level that domestic first-line brands should have. RC401 left the one with the most votes of each of the riders in the three sets of colors announced at the beginning of the release, and then added a color scheme called "Lightning Silver".
After saying that the imitation race we look at the rest of the trip, the basis of the RX401 is still from the RX3S we tested last year, which should be updated with a more powerful engine without much change in the body basic structure, and a complete makeover.
The previous generation of RX3S we tested when we carried out professional off-road venues and beaches and other environments that are not even "road", RX3S excellent body quality has been unanimously recognized by everyone, but for the appearance design at that time, we still have reservations.
Fortunately, the opinions of riders have been paid attention to by manufacturers, and the emergence of a new generation of RX3S (hereinafter referred to as RX401) at the 21-year Motorcycle Expo has made us feel bright.
Compared with before, the design language of the RX401 is much younger, smoother and more technological, the rectangular LED headlights seem to borrow from Triumph's Tiger series, and the lines of the fuel tank have the same feeling as Honda's non-double.
In addition to the breakthrough in appearance, the RX401's practical and detailed progress is also more obvious, and the upper edge height of the large-area windshield has been basically flush with the rearview mirror, with a certain adjustment ability. At the same time, the vehicle's refined sense of refinement is enhanced by the uniformly upgraded brake/clutch adjustable handle and switch assembly with the RG3/RE3.
At present, the information that RX401 has released is still relatively small, the frame part is not much modified, and the front 19/rear 17-inch vacuum spoke wheelset has not changed, so the original advantages of driving quality should be well inherited.
The car also carried out a color scheme collection in the early stage, and the final selection of the scheme shows that on the ADV model, everyone still prefers to use the dirt-resistant and damage-resistant color of gray-black as the main body and then with a small area of bright color embellishment to outline the line.
These two new cars we will end here first, and then we will go to the factory at the end of this month to participate in the media test drive, and then we will report to you on the more detailed experience of the RC401/RX401 two cars...
