Last night Sekolong did a big thing, in layman's terms, it began to put down its body, the pricing is more close to the people, to say a little euphemistically, that is, Sekoron began to make poor friends.
SECRON's latest imitation racing model RC401, the official price of 28800 yuan. The latest generation of ADV models RX401, the flagship version is priced at 29980 yuan, and the extreme version is priced at 31980 yuan.
Today we first look at the release of the imitation racing RC401, its release is a bit willful, not only in the pricing of the spring wind is difficult, but also let the GPR250R, GSX250R, and Kaiyue 321RR lose a large part of the competitiveness.
Parameter configuration:
RC401 has been expected by many people since its debut at last year's motorcycle exhibition, on the one hand, everyone believes that the pricing of this car will be extremely competitive, on the other hand, because Seclon has super soft power in imitation competition - Zongshen Racing Team.
I will not repeat how strong the Zongshen racing team is, in short, the model that is tuned under this name can certainly not be broken, because the honor of this thing is difficult, but it is easy to go.
The name of zongshen team adds an invisible guarantee to the control of the RC401, but the control of this new car still needs to wait until it has been ridden before it can be shared with you.
(Is there anyone as curious as I am about what the track modification will look like?)
In addition to the handling aspect, the RC401 has three other features that are worth looking forward to.
The first is that the whole vehicle is aerodynamically optimized, and the high-speed stability and fuel economy are worth looking forward to.
The package version and windshield of the RC401 are aerodynamically optimized to effectively reduce the wind resistance coefficient, and according to Sectron, the wind resistance of the RC401 and the EMU is not much different.
Of course, this part of the description is actually not important to most consumers, aerodynamics is a new term that has begun to prevail in China this year, and it is basically used by everyone. The ultimate goal of this technology is not only to make the car run more stable and faster, but also to effectively reduce the fuel consumption of the vehicle. As for whether the wind resistance test of the RC401 is done well or not, it can actually be glimpsed through the real vehicle fuel consumption test tube.
Secondly, the engine has been optimized twice, and the power and operation performance are worth looking forward to.
The engine used by the RC401 has some relationship with Suzuki, and the stability has been good, there has been no problem, this engine experienced the first cylinder expansion last year, the displacement reached 400cc, but the power is still not good enough.
This year, Sectron has deeply optimized the intake and exhaust of this engine, so the maximum power has reached 33kw/9500rpm, and the maximum torque has reached 37nm/8000rpm, which is a big improvement compared to last year's TC401.
It is reported that Sectron conducted a trouble-free test on this engine under 400 hours of continuous high load (8500 ~ 9500 rpm) operation, and the key word is "continuous", that is, no engine relay. Under normal circumstances, the manufacturer's continuous operation bench test of the engine is based on 200 hours, and the engine maintains a high speed and doubles the test time, which can give people more confidence in stability.
Finally, the stiffness of the frame and forks will at least look stronger than the Ninja 400.
After the Yamaha R3 was listed, the question about the poor rigidity of the Ninja 400 frame was also put on the agenda, which is true, after all, the ninja 400 frame you can see that it is not very stout, in line with the street running positioning of the Ninja 400.
Looking at the frame and fork of the RC401, not only the number of steel pipes is more, but also the frame is reinforced at the front of the car, so in terms of the strength of the frame and the rear flat fork, the RC401 is visible to the naked eye to be better than the Ninja 400, of course, I also doubt that the Sycoron itself will not be the target of it.
This approach is very clever, in fact, lightweight is not difficult to do, but it is not easy to ensure good handling and rigidity while lightweighting, even a world-class manufacturer like Kawasaki is difficult to deal with this problem. So Secolone simply embraced rigidity and reduced the weight of lightweight, at least in terms of handling to make everyone satisfied; at the same time, it also used forged parts in many places, although the car weighed 10kg more than the Ninja 400, but I had a lot of confidence in its handling.
Because I've ridden the RX6 before, and its frame stiffness is unforgettable, I hope the RC401 will inherit the RX6's memorable cornering handling, not just 10kg heavier than a ninja.
RC401 as the first domestic echelon released the first 400cc level imitation, this price is very sincere for Moyou, but for friends, this pricing is actually full of pressure. It hampered the Chunfeng 450SR so that it could not be priced too high, otherwise moyou with a small budget would most likely be included in the Secolone.
For it pressed GSX250, GPR250R, and Kaiyue's 321RR, the above imitation race is not bad, but for riders who have the need to change cars, everyone has their own small problems.
The biggest problem with the GSX250 is slow, slow to speed up, slow to overtake.
The biggest problem with GPR250R is that it is expensive, and the general version also costs 26980.
As for the Kaiyue 321RR, its biggest problem is that the workmanship and durability are not guaranteed, and it is difficult for riders who are not pursuing performance to consider 321RR.
The RC401 can be described as a collection of strengths, faster than GSX, better than GPR incense, better than 321RR, these points combined, it is enough to make RC401 stable at this level.
In the middle of it and pressed QJMOTOR, the series we will not say, 350 has been hung, let's wait to see what the race 400 will look like...
summary:
RC401 series can be seen as a second charge of the market by Secosaurus, which is different from RX6, and more different from the former RG3, Sectron completely lowered his body this time, bid farewell to the burden of the idol, made a friend with everyone again, and took back the market share that should belong to him.
Of course, I know that everyone will also wonder, it is so low price? Can the quality be good?
The answer is yes, in recent years, the quality of Sycolong is actually very obvious, the quality problems in the early years are more due to assembly, such as the first batch of RT3 and the early RX3, Sycolong is crowned the biggest criticism is that there are no big problems, small problems continue, but with the introduction of robot workshops and more efficient management processes involved, today's Secosaurus is no longer the Sycoron of five years ago.
It also has a significant leap forward in design, from the early 250 imitation to today's RC401, the difference between the two can be described as a makeover.
Secondly, in terms of pricing, in the early years, There was a lot of brand baggage behind Seclon, and Zong Shen, as a brother in Chongqing, could not tolerate himself to put down his body to fight for the price, and this consideration made sense and did not make sense.
It makes sense because Zongshen does have strong places, such as mature engine factories, advanced robot workshops, if you carefully look at the details of the TC401 engine, you will find that its details processing and the big trade car has no gap, Secron has its intentions.
It doesn't make sense because consumers are now demanding not only the details of the process, but also the real cost performance, you can't ask consumers to always stand in the position of the manufacturer to see the problem, the macro perspective of things can only be changed by the manufacturer itself.
Now that it has no idol baggage, not only will the pressure on friends become greater, but its own products will naturally become more fragrant. I believe there are many people waiting to put down the RX6 and look forward to Zongshen Power's small-displacement 270-degree ignition gap engine.
