Since the 1980s, Zongshen has laid a solid foundation in the motorcycle industry. If there are many domestic motorcycle manufacturers that can make the Chinese people proud, Zongshen's Saikelong is definitely a head brand.
SECRON is not only created for the young new era, but also the many products it launches are also ingenious works that follow the changes of the times, and the feeling is even more obvious in this media tasting held this week.
The same field not only can test drive almost all the products on sale of Seclon, but also released the price of the new RT3, as well as a variety of new cars that will be listed in advance during the year, of which the RT2 and RX401 have become the products I expect the most after the test drive.
On February 24, 2022, SECTRON held a media tasting day in Chongqing, where almost all of its models on sale were test-drived, in addition to a number of experiences to fully experience the RX6's handling in different environments.
The upcoming RT2, RE2, RX401, and RC401 also offer a construction vehicle experience on site. The RT2 and RX401 became the two models I focused on this time.
Since its release, the RT3, which has sold more than 50,000 units, has a strong influence in the domestic market. The 2022 RT3 also became the first new product released on tasting day.
Compared with the old RT3, the new product has 12 upgrades, making it more in line with the new needs of consumers. Compared with the upgrade, the price is more surprising, the enjoy version and the premium version maintain the price of the old model, and the price of the top smart version is also reduced by one thousand yuan, which is more competitive and more attractive.
As the masterpiece of the Seclon Travel Series, we have already experienced the engineering version of the RX6 on the city road in the middle of last year, and this production version has a more delicate improvement than the car we tested earlier.
In the U-shaped cornering experience, you can feel the balance of the RX6 at low speed, even if there is a slight stall, you can still control the body, coupled with the advantage of large steering angle, simulating a two-lane U-bend, you can fall over the front of the car.
In terms of power, the production version is more delicate and smooth at low speed, the power feedback at low speed is softer, and the feel and response speed of the throttle are smoother.
As one of the two new cars that I focused on this time, the RT2 felt a particularly relaxed sense of lightness from the beginning of the car, in addition to the advantages brought by the smaller size of the RT3, I can also feel the center of gravity of the vehicle.
In terms of power, it is equipped with a 246.8cc water-cooled single-cylinder engine, the maximum power is 17 kilowatts, the maximum torque is 22.5 Nm, the power explosion is biased towards high and medium and high rotation, so the power in the initial section is biased towards a very soft kind, after the speed exceeds 40km/h, the acceleration force begins to gradually become obvious, because the site reasons have not been able to complete the experience of acceleration, and after the production version of the test drive, then talk to you in detail about its power.
The biggest highlight of the RT2 I think is not the power, because the advantage of the body is very light, coupled with the overall strong rigidity, it is not only easier to enter the corner, but also allows me to confidently put the body in the corner to a greater inclination. If I switch to a mountain road, I think it will not only bring ease, but also get more cornering fun. When the dealer has a test drive, it is highly recommended that players go and experience it, whether you buy it or not.
As a member of the same Sekolon travel series, I thought that I would find a lot of RX3 familiarity from RX401, but the reality is completely two feelings, after test driving this car, I also thought in my heart, light, calm, easy to control will not become the core content of Sycoron's future products.
The new RX401 is not only lighter, the quiet and smoothness of this TC401 engine is really not like a two-cylinder car, the power is more dense and powerful than the TC380 when accelerating, the throttle is quickly screwed at low speed and there is no very abrupt drag feeling, and the posture of the front of the car does not fluctuate much.
There is also a great improvement in vibration suppression, when idling and pulling high rotation, in addition to hearing a very high-pitched sound wave, if it is not focused on feeling, the vibration sensation is not obvious.
In terms of handling, it is simpler and easier, the body feels like a 250cc car, and even like a street car in terms of flexibility, if the RX3's advantage lies in bad roads, the RX401's advantages in urban roads and narrow roads are more obvious.
The damping of the front and rear suspension is hard, I don't know if it is because of the engineering vehicle, or the future will be set according to this standard, the curve can feel more adequate support, in the three consecutive laps of the S bend experience, each time is very confident to put the car lower, but due to the ground temperature and it is the only RX401 test drive in the whole field, there is no in-depth experience of its cornering limit, but for the compound curve, it can also be calmly and very fun to face.
If I remember correctly, this should be the first big media test drive day held by Sectron. As a participant, I think the fun is not only to be able to test the entire brand series in one go, but also to set up various projects and ways of playing by manufacturers, so that you can find the limits and gameplay that are more suitable for a certain model in the test drive process. After each test drive, you can also discuss the feelings and ideas of future product upgrades with the core technical personnel of the manufacturer, helping the manufacturer upgrade the car at the same time, but also learning more relevant knowledge from it.
At the same time, I also hope that other manufacturers in China can pay attention to this activity, whether it is for contact with the media or better display products, it is more effective.
