Domestic displacement sports car opening is already an indisputable fact, Race 400 as a participant in Qianjiang, with a relatively balanced product force to enter the market, but also the current domestic 400cc class of several sports cars, the only model equipped with a single rocker arm, looks a bit like race 350, but the performance of the power is much stronger.
Exterior design
The design of the Race 400 is a bit lacking in novelty to be honest, because this look is similar to the Race 350, of course, the Race 400 may also come to replace the Race 350, so it is not wrong to directly follow its shape. However, it is precisely because of this that many people complain, but as a sports car, this value is still online.
The Race 400 uses new colors to match the texture is stronger, especially this gray-red color, equipped with red wheels and single rocker arm, taking into account the texture and sporty sense! This shape can meet the fantasies of most riders about small displacement sports cars, and this style has the flavor of Japanese sports cars.
Detailed configuration
The "Three Eyes" front is the iconic headlight design of the Race 350, and now it also continues to the Race 400, the middle is a day-running lamp, the headlights are composed of two sets of LEDs, and a certain aerodynamic design is also used in the front of the car, and the contour shape is very sporty.
The rear of the car naturally continues the shape of the Race 350, the hollowed out rear seat is a must-have design element for today's sports cars, and it is worth noting that the turn signals have become longer, because the new design uses the way of running water.
Seeing that many people here have to complain about "the handlebar is too high", it is obvious that this is a model for novices and novices to advance, rather than a "fighter" for old drivers, and the relatively comfortable riding triangle can cater to more people, rather than becoming a niche toy.
The family-based full-color TFT meter, or the familiar UI interface, the function and layout of the instrument is the same as that of the Race 350, supports two kinds of backlit display, and has the tire pressure display and mobile phone projection function.
The inverted forks are not adjustable and the shock absorption stroke is impressive, which combines sportiness and comfort in the original setting of the front shock, even on the track.
The adjustable mid-mounted rear suspension, which is also a relatively common design at this level, also takes care of the comfort of everyday riding and the support that occasionally requires intense driving.
The Race 400 differs from the Race 350 in that the previous single-disc version is not available. This set of brake specifications is 250mm double floating disc, with a four-piston fixed caliper in the opposite direction, and some riders say that the brake disc diameter is not large enough to be grand, but the braking can be used is good isn't it.
The rear brakes are equipped with a single disc with dual-piston floating calipers, which are enhanced with the rear single-piston brake calipers of the Competition 350; both front and rear brakes are equipped with ABS anti-lock braking system.
Single rocker arm is a highlight of the Race 400, although this single rocker arm is not so thick, the shape is not particularly eye-catching, but with this texture is quite good rear tooth plate, the sense of forced grid is still in place.
In fact, the wheel design of the Race 400 continues the practice of the Race 250 single rocker arm, and this side of the highlight will be more attractive in terms of visual effects, using a bright cut shape! This practice MV Augusta also used!
Engine "Good Voice"
The 400 is equipped with this 400cc displacement in-line twin-cylinder water-cooled engine, with a maximum power of 33kw/9500rpm and a maximum torque of 37Nm/7000rpm, and the output data of the engine is directly similar to that of the Ninja400, compared with the 350 power increase of 6kw, the torque increase of 6Nm, and the standard sliding clutch.
The characteristics of "Good Voice" were continued on the Race 400, and the synchronized twin-cylinder engine was at this level, and the performance of the sound wave was absolutely dusty. For those who do not want to modify the exhaust, but have a certain demand for sound, the sound performance of the Race 400 should be enough.
Ride the feel
The riding experience of the Race 400 is actually not much different from the Race 350, the biggest novelty is from the increase in power, the same weight is stronger power performance, coupled with the sound of the synchronous twin cylinder, after riding up, I want to pull the speed up! The sound wave of low and medium speed is difficult to find in the same class of two-cylinder models.
Some time ago, Wuhan just held a track experience activity for race 400 and race 600, and the sports car can only play its due strength on the track. In handling this piece of race 400 without pulling the crotch, the original Matis tires are absolutely powerful, and it is easy to bend and grind the knees on the track in this weather condition.
After putting on the one-piece, the confidence is doubled, and after getting familiar with the two sections, the limit of the tire is higher than the foot pedal, and grinding to the foot pedal is a common thing, thanks to the hidden exhaust, the left and right sides of the inclination angle are good. Although the original shock absorption has a comfortable orientation, it has not touched the limit of this set of shock absorption in the track, and the rebratch into the corner gives oil out of the bend and the support in the corner exceeds expectations.
The braking specifications of the front double disc brake + four-piston caliper, the rear single disc brake + double piston caliper are more than enough to cope with this track, and the rear brake is rarely used, of course, because the weight of the Race 400 is lighter, it is difficult to play the advantage of the Race 600 on this small track, and it is very easy to achieve corner overtaking in the Race 400.
Some people say that the light weight of the Sai 400 is not heavier than the Ninja 4, and it is true! But in terms of materials and configuration, the Race 400 should be more solid, the front brakes of the double disc discs, the thicker front shock absorber, the stronger coverage, the thicker single rocker arm, etc., if you want to deliberately steal light, it is not difficult to reduce the weight to below 170.
Summary: a single rocker arm with a high force, a thick sound wave that is far ahead of the same level, a good appearance and control, a linear power output is easy for even a novice to get started, and the price of 29999 yuan is also very competitive. The comprehensive strength and competitiveness of the Race 400 is still quite good.
