Saike dragon stupid bird flew first, the spring wind was cut off by QJ, and who was the domestic imitation of the "inner volume" roll

Recently, the domestic imitation competition circle has also calculated a big thing.

April 6, 2022 at 10:00 a.m.: Chunfeng released the pre-sale price of 450SR of 31,980 yuan, and agreed to open the reservation channel at 20:00 p.m. The Spring Wind pre-sale advertisement abandoned the brand representative color of playing coral blue instead of using big red, revealing that the official high hopes for the 450SR to open the door and sell hot.

However, an unexpected thing happened that day!

April 6, 2022, 18:56 pm: QJMOTOR suddenly released the price of 29999 yuan for the 400 one hour before the start of the Spring Wind rush, while revealing that the race 550, which accelerated by zero hundred for more than 3 seconds, and clearly implied that the price was in the early 30,000s, and was bound to intercept a group of 400cc imitation users before the spring wind and use it for QJ.

In this way, QJMOTOR's Race 400 suddenly appeared unexpectedly, the price pointed directly at the Spring Wind 450SR, and the Race 550 accelerated with zero hundred and thirty seconds + to force the 450SR to another head, so that the user's appetite that was already ready to start the 450SR was instantly raised again.

Chunfeng probably didn't expect to be such a hand by QJ, and Secolon, who was sitting across the table, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat - fortunately, it was released before the two of them, otherwise it was my RC401 that was cut off now!

Let's take a look at the Race 400, which has officially released its price. Simply put, it can be regarded as an upgraded version of the Race 350, and the main upgrade point is in line with QJMOTOR's introduction to this car - single and double way, C-bit debut.

The "single-double way" refers to the single rocker arm and the double disc brake caliper.

Race 400 uses an aluminum alloy single rocker arm, the rear swingarm assembly is more or less related to the Race 250 single rocker version, the 250 level wheel hub is replaced by a 400cc engine is also enough, the strength problem does not need to worry, but this operation is somewhat cost-saving.

In terms of braking, the brake specifications of the front double disc are the same as the Race 350, because the official did not give accurate data, it is speculated that it is still the configuration of the 260mm double floating disc + one-way double piston caliper, which is equipped with Saifu ABS as standard, so the Race 400 can meet most of the appearance configuration party requirements for the appearance of the brakes.

As for the shock absorption, I feel that it is also the same model as the Race 350, the front inverted shock absorption is not adjustable, and the rear center shock absorption preload is adjustable. There is no basis, it just feels the same.

"C debut" refers to the fact that the price of the Race 400 is exactly in the middle position.

It is 2000 yuan cheaper than the Spring Wind 450SR, and the race Kelong RC401 is 1000 yuan more expensive. However, in terms of comprehensive cost performance, the performance of the Race 400 is relatively average.

In terms of engines, the Sai 400 uses either the reverse Kawasaki 400 or the Seychelles 350's cylinder expander (personal analysis is the expander), because the engine appearance layout is basically the same as the Sai 350's, with a maximum power of 33kw/9500 rpm and a maximum torque of 37nm/7000rpm, and a sliding clutch as standard.

The appearance of the 400cc engine announced by Qianjiang some time ago is obviously different from the above engine, so I deduce that Qianjiang did not use the latest engine on the Race 400.

It can be seen that the Sai 400 is the power upgrade of the Sai 350, which has now become a stepping stone for the 400cc imitation.

Oye's bacteria:

Coupled with Secosaurus RC401, now the three giants of the domestic 400cc level imitation competition have been unveiled, and the keywords of the domestic imitation competition in 2022 have also been released, that is, "inner volume", but there is a question we need to define in advance, what is the inner volume?

Inner volume is an Internet buzzword that specifically refers to the phenomenon of peers competing for more effort to compete for limited resources, resulting in a decline in the "benefit-to-effort ratio" of individuals.

But the word is put on the motorcycle, who is rolled up?

Are there any manufacturers whose revenue has declined as a result? Obviously not, Chunfeng, Qianjiang, Zongshen, everyone's financial report shows that the performance is booming, and you can't see any signs of whereabouts.

Is that a drop in consumer earnings? Obviously, two years ago you could only buy the Taihaojue Suzuki GSX250R for 30,000 yuan, and now you buy not only more cars, but also cheaper. It can be seen that in fact, the buyers and sellers of the motorcycle circle do not have the phenomenon of internal rolling.

Even if someone is rolled up, it is also a car reviewer, because car reviewers have to face more homogeneous models, they need to pay more efforts, more carefully recommend models suitable for each mole, which requires car critics to have a stronger professional quality, compared with two years ago, they need to pay more efforts, and the fans and traffic harvested will also be diluted because of the increase in models.

At this stage, the performance competition, price competition, and the homogenization of the single swingarm and the appearance design on the configuration are actually a very normal phenomenon, just like the Internet buzzword of "inner volume".

Its essence is still to promote the product effectively.

The origin of domestic imitation races is very different from foreign imitation races, foreign imitation races originate from the track, from the technical decentralization of large-displacement models, event experience and event recognition is the basis for their survival, no events, everyone is not even good to sell cars.

For example, Ducati, every year a lot of money into the event, by the end of the year to see the net profit, may not be as high as Loncin. But Ducati still does this every year, and he enjoys it, because that's how Ducati survives. Exchange track results for popularity and sales, and use sales profits to feed back track results.

The mainland imitation race is more built on the street, our racing environment is not nothing, in the early years we are also a team flying all over the sky, conquered the major competitions, but for ordinary consumers, we really do not have time to go deep into the track to study the limits of the vehicle, the courage to challenge themselves.

For most imitation racing users, the motorcycle is not a productivity tool or a prop for extreme sports, but a toy.

Toys should have the appearance of toys, such as single rocker arm, look handsome and commotioning; and then such as the wind wing, whether useful or not, with it the car looks more like Ducati, the toy is to look bullish.

Let's take a look at the popular imitation content shared on Douyin, are you pressing at ultra-low inclination? Or is it a casual ride in a flesh-and-blood blur suit?

What really attracts everyone to buy a motorcycle is the spirit of competition and the yearning to explore the limits of the vehicle? Or simply enjoy the freedom of a 360-degree skylight and the ease of riding a motorcycle? In fact, you and I have a number of this answer in our hearts.

When the development of motorcycles in terms of appearance has reached a peak, and then there is the exploration of the price bottom line, which is what we commonly call the price of the inner volume, which is not a new thing, recall the mobile phone industry, the camera industry, each industry will have such a stage of the process, this is not to talk about the inner volume, but the development to this stage. Manufacturers began to restrict each other, vehicle profits decreased, and the masses began to benefit, which is a good thing.

As for the events that high-end players need, as well as the imitation racing models that can really compete with imports, we will eventually have it, but there is a premise for this matter.

The premise is that we need to let enough people ride on the imitation race, and the more people ride, the more people understand. Only when more people understand can everyone's needs change, the demand changes, manufacturers can follow up the demand, produce corresponding products, and we can usher in models that meet higher standards.

Capital is to make money, some people buy, some people sell, this is a virtuous circle, otherwise all of the above is a fool's dream. Capital does not do stupid things, a person is not willing to become a free labor force, how can a group of people be willing to do the work of building a car to lose 2,000 yuan?

Therefore, the virtuous circle should be that the enterprise has money to make (as long as it is reasonable and not black), after making money, it has the ability to invest in competition and technology research and development, win brand awareness and product trust, decentralize good technology more to commercial models, and can go up on the selling car to dilute the cost, and then have the conditions to give profits to consumer users...

So how can our imitation competition make greater progress? How to achieve the above virtuous circle as soon as possible? Frankly speaking, when can we see that the domestic competition is no longer set up in the factory team unified group, and the various brands of imitation competitions are gathered on the battlefield, I think that only then will the domestic imitation competition usher in a qualitative leap.
