QJMOTOR officially announced the price information of the Flash 500S this afternoon, the chain version is 34999 yuan, and the belt version is 36999 yuan! The new Flash 500S, which has a very different exterior style from the popular version, attracted much attention after its debut at the Chongqing Motorcycle Expo last year, because the design with Bobber-style cruise is more American locomotive.
The family characteristics of the Flash series have been formed, the old Flash 500 is a sports cruise wind, and the new Flash 500S is a typical Bobber cruise style, which is also the future appearance trend of the "Flash" series, because the future Flash 700 is also this style. In layman's terms, the Flash 500S is more like an enlarged version of the Flash 300, if the Flash 300 is more suitable for petite female knights, then the Flash 500S is more suitable for large men. After Bobber stylization, coupled with new color schemes and prints, the new Flash 500S can also achieve eye-catching effects!
The Flash 500S is derived from the Flash 500, so the internal changes are much smaller than the changes in appearance. The frame, front and rear KYB suspension, front and rear brakes, engine, exhaust pipes, etc., basically follow the design of the Flash 500. However, the new Flash 500 not only retains the chain-driven version, but also offers a belt-driven version, which is especially important for cruise models.
However, in some configurations, there are still some differences between the S version and the basic version! The S version was replaced with the LED single headlights of the same design of the Flash 300S, including the round LED front and rear turn signals, and the S version of the instrument was upgraded to the same full LCD instrument of the Yi 550. The design of the old detached cushions has been retained, but the cushions are embossed like caterpillar cushions. At the same time, because of the replacement of Bobber's necessary "fat" tire, the seat height increased to 720mm, which is 20mm higher than the old model.
The general outline of the rear of the car has not changed, but the area of the taillights has increased, and the rear seat side surround has been added with a decoration similar to the Flash 300S. The Flash 500S eliminates the basic version of the rocker-type license plate frame, returning to the traditional position with a bit of a short tail meaning. The practical adjustable left and right front footrests are retained, and the Flash 500S is also equipped with the popular T-BOX function!
At present, in the same price range of models, the cost performance of the Flash 500S is more prominent, and the new Bobber style can also bring a new visual experience, and the cruise enthusiasts who pursue cost performance may wish to pay more attention!
