A few days ago, Chunfeng 250CL-X officially released the price, the price of 18980 yuan made many people shout thick! Recently, this car began to arrive at the store, out of anticipation I still decided to go to see this small "Chu Liuxiang"!
The family-oriented appearance has a good texture
"Picture for reference only" this sentence in many cases is a pejorative meaning, but in the spring wind 250CL-X is a positive meaning, look at the picture you can hardly see the texture of 250CL-X, the real car gives people a strong visual feeling, spring wind in the workmanship of the progress, in every new car can be reflected.
250CL-X adopts a highly family design, so from the appearance and 700CL-X is not much different, many CL-X family iconic designs can be seen, that is, the reason for the single cylinder makes the body slightly thin, not as plump as the 700CL-X.
On the appearance of design, Chunfeng 250CL-X in the current domestic entry-level retro models, can steadily occupy the upper hand, on the details of the workmanship can also be ranked in the top few.
The details are exquisite
The name of "Xiao Chu Liuxiang" is not in vain, although the displacement and grade of Chunfeng 250CL-X are several levels worse than 700CL-X, but the headlights use the same design, and they are not shrunk because they are 250 models, and the "X" shape of the daily running lights is extremely recognizable.
Not only the headlights, but also the style of the tail lights is the same as the 700CL-X, and the 700cc class lights are lowered to the 250 model, which can be imagined how much it helps to improve the sense of grade.
If you think only the headlights have 700CL-X, you should be as surprised as I am when you see the meter. I thought that the same design of the instrument in the 250CL-X at least shrink a little, such as the size of the smaller and so on, but did not. The instrumentation of the 250CL-X is almost the same as that of the big brother model, the difference is in the number of internal functions.
Although the 250CL-X is based on the NK platform, its handlebar design is very different, and in order to create a more comfortable riding triangle, the height and width of the handlebars are larger than the street car.
The 14.5L fuel tank capacity is 2 liters more than the street car version, of course, the positioning of the 250CL-X is more suitable for running long distances than the street car, coupled with a more plump fuel tank shape, the increase in capacity is expected.
The design of the cushion also continues the 700CL-X classic version of the shape, including a cushion similar to the fur material, the seat height is still 790mm, but the comfort of this cushion is far from being comparable to several other 250 brother models.
The 250CL-X can also be seen in another place to improve comfort, with the front and rear foot pedals replaced by removable wide rubber pads.
The 37mm inverted fork is not adjustable, the stroke of 125mm is 5mm longer than the other two sibling models, and it is more detailed at the top of the fork, such as the design of this "fork cover".
The specifications of the mid-mounted rear suspension are also similar to those of the other two 250 brother models, but the rear shock absorption stroke is only 40mm, which is 6mm shorter than street cars and sports cars.
The front brake size is 292mm single disc with radiant opposed four-piston brake calipers, the rear brake specification is 220mm single disc with single-piston floating calipers, and like the other two sibling models, the calipers are supplied by Hangte. However, there is only one version of the 250CL-X, so ABS is standard.
The swingarm is also designed with a 250 platform common shape, including a concealed exhaust pipe. If you notice, you'll be able to spot an extra piece of plastic shroud on the rear fender bracket, which is not available on the NK model.
Familiar 250 single-cylinder engine
We are all too familiar with the power side, and this engine has been fully verified on two other Chunfeng 250 models. 249cc actual displacement, maximum power 20.5kW/9750rpm, maximum torque 22N·m/7500rpm, sliding clutch as standard.
Good riding is the last word
At present, because there is only this exhibition car, the 250CL-X does not have a test drive, but it is still simply ridden by me for a few hundred meters. Although the 250CL-X is positioned as a retro model, because it adopts the design of the same platform as the 250NK, there is not much change in both power and handling.
The comfortable riding triangle and high handlebars will make the whole riding triangle very natural, the riding process is quite comfortable, and the clutch feel is quite light, so sensory it is better to ride than the 250NK, and it is more suitable for novices as an entry model. In a word: it feels like riding a comfortable version of the 250NK.
