When it comes to the Seclon RX6, I believe most of the motorcycle friends have heard of it, and they also know that this is a retired tour model equipped with Norton engine, but since the official announcement of the Sectron in Beijing Motor Exhibition in May last year, this car has been in the process of endless testing and has not been delivered on a large scale. This hand operation can be said to confuse and puzzle the molesters.
Obviously the price has been released, and the product has been formed, but why did the RX6 not have a large-scale delivery?
This problem is complex and complex, simple and simple, the general reason is because the RX6 has found some new deficiencies in the previous long test, in order to ensure that this car is as perfect as possible, the factory has been optimizing and improving it, and strive to achieve the best within the scope of capabilities, and the time has been delayed.
So what's the RX6 improving so far?
The current focus of improvements is on the engine and frame, and the engine continues to be optimized in the hope of achieving the best balance of stability, performance and comfort. The frame has been strengthened to improve safety, sportiness and malleability.
The improvement of the engine, because I am riding the RX6 for the first time, so there is no special experience, I can only feel the strength of this car, the strength is enough, the power is the same as the curve of the official description, and the torque at low speed is indeed very large.
RX6 is currently the most advanced 650cc engine in China, the maximum power of 52kw / 8500, the maximum torque of 62nm / 7000, the main features of this engine can be divided into two aspects, the first is the new technology, followed by good materials.
The new manifestation of the technology is that the engine originated from Norton's V4 engine, which has only been developed since 2010, and the research and development starting point is dominant.
The material used is reflected in the use of full import bearings, forged pistons, ceramic cylinders, FCC sliding clutch, aluminum alloy box and PVD piston rings (reduced friction, better lubricity).
In actual riding, this engine also gives me the feeling of being different from other models in the same class, it can be said that it is a very personalized motorcycle, and the feedback from the throttle is a bit like KTM, which is screwed and very grumpy.
So much so that I felt for the first time that the throttle of this car was not completely adjusted.
Not afraid of everyone's jokes, I haven't ridden such a violent car for a while, but I later reflected on it, in fact, it is not that there is a problem with the throttle adjustment of this car, but I have a problem, I do not have a 13 number of torque on this car, and the steel straight man according to the past habits, as soon as he goes down, the throttle is too big.
In the first gear, the RX6 gives you the feeling of a rough guy, if you screw to the end, the overall output of the engine will be very smooth, but if you twist it halfway, space it, and then twist the throttle vigorously, you will feel a huge and uncoordinated impact, on the flat road, this force can help you tilt your head, but in the corner, this force may make you helpless for novices.
When you leave the first gear, the engine's momentum will change from rushing to smart, and the RX6's throttle feedback will also meet most Moyou's definition of throttle linearity. The apparent speed of the RX6 first gear is between 72 and 76, which is similar to the Kawasaki Beast 650 that lifted the speed limit, or slightly better (ask the owner of the Beast for help).
The engine shift process is very smooth, the gear spacing is clear, and the whole car sits comfortably, the saddle is soft while retaining good support, the 820mm seat height is more suitable for me at 186, there is riding experience, the little sister of about 160 can also easily drive this car, so I think this car is not very picky, interested friends can go to test drive.
The vibration point of this engine appears around 5000 rpm, but the vibration is mainly concentrated on the feet and rearview mirrors, and the other parts are basically not felt, and the vibration suppression is good.
But the most memorable thing about this car is not the engine, but the frame of the RX6, you can ride out this car in the corners of the performance is particularly good, the official said that this car is very follow-up, but I feel that the word is too abstract.
Let's talk to everyone, the RX6 gives you a very stable and tidy feeling when you enter the corner at high speed, you can easily integrate with the car, and the entry and exit corners are very smooth.
Eh, Oye mushroom, this car 245kg, can have such a good ride?
Since we talked about the control, we have to talk about the curb quality of this car, the RX6's curb weight shows 245kg, but this is the +three-box curb quality, and the curb weight of the bicycle I remember is 220+kg. However, this car is not so heavy to push up and ride, but it makes me feel unexpectedly agile.
It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is invincible at the same price, but this car feels really good for me in the corners, ranking within the TOP3 of the domestic travel ADV.
The performance of the brakes and shock absorption is decent at this 50,000 price point, there is no particularly brilliant place, of course, it may also be that the new car has not been how to run in, my overall feeling is that the brake strength is enough, the shock absorption is generally soft, but the shock absorption supports front and rear adjustment, so this soft is not a problem.
Sycoron RX6 parameter configuration:
summary:
The biggest regret of RX6 is that everyone knows that the pricing is slightly high, which is helpless, and it is also difficult to adjust through other means (the future may drop by 3000 every festive season, but I am not sure), so don't say it.
Other aspects of the small flaws, that is, a big brace is easy to rub the ground when the extreme bend, because of the limited test drive time, I did not find RX6 and other aspects of the deficiency, follow-up if there is a chance to touch the car more, I will continue to share with you.
If you can accept the price, the RX6 is indeed a good car, especially on paved roads. Although it looks like an ADV, this car is actually just a highway travel artifact, on the paved road it can give you the best driving experience, as for non-paving, I suggest you do not have this idea, because you can't make it.
As the real car will come to the store one after another across the country, we will also have the opportunity to touch this RX6 in the future, and then we will definitely test the car for everyone, and then bring a more detailed test drive report.
