The side tricycle, also known as the satchel, is undoubtedly a very niche branch of the motorcycle circle, and it was almost extinct for a long time until 2014... At this time, the silver steel MINI cross turned out to be a crucial role in awakening the satchel market, and the price of 12,800 yuan made "poetry and far away" no longer out of reach. In the following years, Silver Steel has made great strides, and has successively launched models such as Patroller and Hummer, and the displacement has also risen from the initial 150cc to 200cc and 300cc. Now it has added full horsepower and launched the SUV 500.
The SUV500 has a "wild" undertone
SUV, a hot pop element in the automotive industry, what is it like when it is combined with a satchel? The design style of the SUV500 is different from the existing shoulder of silver steel, which is more rugged and hard. The multi-function of the SUV is to take into account the needs of off-road. The main car of the SUV500 adopts an LED light source, the side bucket is mainly based on halogen lamp sources, and the two LED spotlights on the guard bar are "extra gifts" to add auxiliary lighting for the field environment.
The minimum ground clearance of 190mm gives the SUV500 a "wild" bottom, and the passability is significantly improved. The length of the 2200mm body is still a relatively compact structure, so the "rear seat" is not to be thought of, the two big bosses are crowded together may be enough to choke, and the well-equipped tail box rack also has the risk of butt. As for the seat height of the SUV 500, it does not matter for a satchel.
Compared with most satchels using a more "retro" color system, the SUV500 is quite bold in the color collocation - cement ash supplemented by bright orange is its main color, catering to the preferences of young consumers, so that the satchel is no longer "old man's music".
The luggage rack on the side bucket not only plays a decorative role, but also increases a certain loading capacity.
Such a satchel appears on the street, and the return rate is not inferior to that of a roadster, which can be described as spending a small amount of money to do a big thing.
The SUV500 uses 120-80/17 aluminum wheel vacuum pineapple tires, and the spare tires are also of the same specification, so the four wheels of the vehicle are interchangeable. However, I did not see the figure of the spoke circle, which is somewhat regrettable. The spare tire is equipped with a flagpole rack, and the shoulder is like eating noodles without garlic!
There is innovation and improvement
The satchel of less than 40,000 yuan has also begun to be equipped with a 7-inch color LCD instrument. Through this LCD screen, battery voltage, average fuel consumption, oil temperature, as well as maintenance remaining mileage and tire pressure tire temperature information can be displayed, and also support screen navigation, etc., the function is very powerful. Of course, some people think that this configuration appears on the satchel and tastes wrong, so let's see what they are doing.
SUV500 for four forward gears plus a reverse gear setting, don't say that reverse gear is useless, this thing who uses who knows. Catch a slope to try, 300kg push is also dead. The so-called "handbrake" is still solved by locking the brakes.
The fuel tank volume of the SUV500 is 16L, and the cruising range can reach about 350km. This data is not brilliant for a two-wheeler motorcycle, but it is still quite enviable for many satchels.
The power part is undoubtedly the focus of people's attention on this SUV500, after all, the previous products are mainly focused on small and medium-sized displacement. At the heart of the SUV500 is a 452cc single-cylinder water-cooled engine with a maximum power of 30kW (50 hp)/8000rpm, a maximum torque of 37Nm/7000rpm, and a compression ratio of 11.2:1.
The front suspension system of the rocker structure is an innovation for silver steel, resulting in better low-speed handling and high-speed stability, as well as positive filtration performance when running bad roads. Similar suspension structures are used in both the Urals and the Yangtze River 700.
The SUV500 uses front and rear disc brakes, and the side wheels are also equipped with brakes and achieve linkage.
The rear suspension is still designed with twin gun spring shock absorption.
The side seats look very thick and comfortable, and the cushions are not forgotten to mark the silver steel. It's spatially acceptable, but it's missing a seatbelt. There is a storage bag on the left and right sides of the side bucket for easy storage of small items. The USB interface of the SUV500 is located on the right side of the main car, which is also intended to be easily shared with the passengers of the side bucket, and the side bucket is not equipped with a separate USB interface.
One of the advantages of the shoulder is the loading capacity, in addition to the surface of the luggage rack, the tail box volume is also quite impressive, three people travel to put three helmets is not a problem.
Editor's comments: If the Ural is the ceiling and the Yangtze River is the feeling, then the silver steel really gives the satchel more choices. From scratch, 8 years have become a "big household" of the satchel. Now the silver steel SUV 500 has landed at a price of less than 40,000 yuan, and the satchel market is bustling again. Moreover, for the side drive, axis transmission, etc. that the satanist has been thinking about for a long time, don't worry, there will be, it is only a matter of time.
