High-value imitation competition, Sekolon RC401 finally announced the official price of 28800 today! As the first domestic 400cc class sports car this year, it was finally listed before the Spring Wind 450SR, did this price exceed your expectations?
In fact, as early as February, the author has already test-driven the RC401, and has also released related content! Today we will not do too much elaboration, we mainly come to see what are the configuration highlights and design highlights on the Seclon RC401!
"Windwing Wing" is not just decoration
We all know that since Ducati set off the "fixed wind wing" boom, this popular wind has now become popular in domestic sports cars, whether it is a large displacement or a small displacement, it seems that there is no fixed wind wing to keep up with the times! It is indeed difficult to play a practical role in the wind fixing wings on small displacement sports cars, but this pair of "small wings" of the RC401 is not just decoration.
According to the data given by the manufacturer, the fixed wind wing of the Sekolon RC401 can increase the downforce. The lift coefficient drops by 9%, in short, the lift is the rising force, and the opposite of the lift coefficient drop is the downforce. However, the manufacturer did not give how much downforce can be lifted at a certain speed.
Aerodynamic design
It was rare to see any domestic sports car hype about aerodynamic design, or hollow testing, etc. This year, domestic sports cars have stepped into a larger displacement, not only have a higher pursuit of exterior design, but also pay more attention to ergonomics and aerodynamics.
The drag coefficient of the Sycoron RC401 is only 0.51Cd, which is very close to the drag coefficient of the EMU (about 0.49Cd). In addition, the manufacturer also gave a number of values, such as the frontal windward area and lift coefficient in the no-load state and the driving state. Also because of the shaping of the fluid, the front wind resistance drops by 13%.
The iconic "shark fin" side diversion design is also a substantial use, combined with the design of the side-through style grille, it plays a role in strengthening the diversion of air flow, enhancing engine heat dissipation, and reducing aerodynamic resistance. In addition, the specially designed rear part of the car can also form downforce, which improves the stability of the vehicle at high speed.
Large inclination design
52° inclination do you think is big enough? Special tests have also been carried out for corner control manufacturers, and the RC401 is tested in the S-type cornering conditions. Roll angle 8.7°, heading angle: 0.28°, pitch angle: 9.23°, compared with some international brands of the same class can also achieve advantages.
Configuration and power highlights
In addition to the details of the Secolong RC401, it is equipped with a very textured forged aluminum alloy upper and lower connection plate, forged aluminum alloy split handlebar, and backlit handlebar buttons. The largest 6.75-inch TFT full-color instrument of the same level supports a variety of display modes, mobile phone screen projection and other functions.
Braking part, 300mm front dual disc brake + opposed four-piston brake caliper, 256mm rear single disc brake + single piston floating caliper, standard dual channel ABS anti-lock function.
In the suspension section, the inverted fork provides 22 levels of adjustable functions, and the center rear suspension provides 14 levels of adjustable functions. The aluminum alloy rear flat fork is very pleasing and raises the grade of the whole vehicle.
The power part is equipped with a 401cc displacement twin-cylinder water-cooled engine with a maximum horsepower of 45Ps (33kw) / 9500 rpm and a maximum torque of 37 Nm / 8000 rpm. The sliding clutch comes standard and has two power modes. Zero Hundred accelerates by 5.8 seconds in Sport mode and 6.1 seconds in Economy mode!
The Sycoron RC401 weighs 178kg, which is as heavy as the Suzuki GSX250R, while the Honda CBR400R in the same class weighs 192kg. Being able to control the weight has a lot to do with the manufacturer's willingness to use high-cost lightweight materials, and what can be referred to the above figure.
RC401 four colors
The RC401 is available in four colors, in order: Tiger Shark Silver, Phantom Matte, Mecha White, and Lightning Silver. Among them, mecha white, which pays tribute to gundam, can be mass-produced.
As the first domestic 400cc class sports car in 2022, the listing of the Seclon RC401 directly raises the threshold for novices to choose a sports car by one level again, because the power performance of this car is very smooth, even beginners are easy to get started, plus the price is so high, are you not impressed?
