What exactly is holding you back from playing off-road? Is there not enough motivation? Is the configuration not strong? NONONO, maybe it's just the price that limits you. More than 20,000 to buy a "big Honda" that can cross the country and can spread joy, don't believe it?
After shooting so many issues of KTM, from 390 ADV to 790 ADV, isn't it reasonable to arrange a 1290 "big wild donkey" in this period? outcome......
Ushered in the African twin cylinder CRF1100L... Younger brother - New Continent Honda CRF190L, which is commonly known as "Asian single cylinder". The starting price is 17389 yuan, and this classic red, white and blue tricolor version is 17889 yuan.
though! The version of the CRF190L is completely different from the non-double, but how much... Stained with a little big brother color.
The towering front is equipped with rectangular LED headlights, and the windshield is a bit small, but the height is adjustable up and down. There is no bird's beak design, which is really a bit of a non-double "inner taste".
However, as a compound "drum"... Rally car, although the rear wheels only provide drum brakes, but the CRF190L uses the front 19 rear 17-inch spoke rim, but also with a high exhaust. The front damping stroke is very long, and the rear shock absorber also uses a Pro-Link linkage, which can take into account both the shock absorber stroke and avoid increasing the seat height, and the minimum ground clearance is also 241mm.
The 14L volume fuel tank is already very impressive for the 190cc, followed by an integrated seat cushion with a seat height of 830mm, and the low fuel tank gives the knight more room to move. The 145kg curb weight allows a knight with a height of 175cm to even "pull hard" in situ.
CRF190L is equipped with a single-cylinder air-cooled engine with an actual displacement of 184cc, the maximum power of 15.7Ps is exploded at 8500rpm, the peak torque is 15.75N·m at 6500rpm, matching the 5-speed international gearbox, the whole power system can be described as an old acquaintance.
However, on the Asian single cylinder, the low torsion performance was further optimized, and a larger rear tooth disc was replaced. Making this car very comfortable to ride every day, the engine can provide enough force after 2500rpm, and the vibration transmitted to the handlebar is almost non-existent.
It can even give you a feeling of tipping in the bend, and the grip of the tires is far more than it looks. Soft enough damping for everyday driving, but also enough to cope with mild off-road conditions.
After all, the vibration damping stroke is long enough, the car is light enough, the low torque performance is enough, and the most important thing is that the repair of the car is also cheap. As long as you grasp the right balance, even if the rear shock absorber still has the risk of bottoming out, the CRF190L is still a model that makes you dare to pull out of the woods.
Compared with the previous tested 390 ADV and 790 ADV, for most riders, the real impact on playability may be the displacement and price, what do you think? Let's talk in the comments section!
