Lifan KPS150 and KPS200 new models are coming, but they have changed their names, KPS150 to KPS191, KPS200 to KPS239. 150 is divided into two versions, the standard version of 11780 yuan, ABS version of 12980 yuan; 200 only one version of 12980 yuan, although the name has changed, but the displacement remains unchanged.
I have a deep feeling for Lifan's KP series, because my first car was lifan KP150 (5-stop machine), which was the time when KP150 was in full swing, and KP150 was very resistant to exercise, and it has not been repaired so far, although it has not been started there for a long time. The new generation of KP series has a new front face, and the shadow of the old model can hardly be seen, although there is a little feeling in it, but the new model has become very strange.
In fact, the new generation of the front face, in the KPS150 released last year has appeared, compared to the first generation of KP series of halogen headlights, the new LED headlights have a stronger sense of technology, although the appearance is not as good as the old model, but after all, to keep up with the trend of the times. In addition, the tail lights and turn signals have also been upgraded to LED forms.
The instrument part has also been improved, the classic mechanical instrument has been replaced by a full LED screen, the new instrument display data is more comprehensive, and the effect at night is more cool, in this level of models, these configurations are more eye-catching existence.
In that era, KP150 did not have ABS, for this reason also suffered a lot of losses, now good can choose to have ABS, you can also choose no ABS, the price difference is not big. Front and rear dual disc brakes, front 300mm rear 220mm, front double piston rear single piston brake specifications, for this class of models are also sufficient. The inverted fork and mid-mounted rear suspension are much higher than the oldest generation models, and the new model has widened the tires, I remember my one was the front 90 and the rear 110, the new model was added to the front 100 and the rear 130, and the tires were also changed.
The "redhead" NRF single-cylinder water-cooled engine, which is independently developed by Lifan, has significantly improved compared with the previous NBF power level, and the two models this time are: 149cc displacement, 13kw/9500rpm, 14.5Nm/7500rpm; 200cc displacement, 15kw/900rpm, 17.5Nm/7500rpm. Compared with the first generation, the 150 version has a power increase of 4kw and a torque increase of 1.5 Nm, and the 200 version has a power increase of 2.5 kW and a torque increase of 0.5 Nm. In the case of the same displacement and the emissions reaching China 4, it is still commendable to be able to achieve this increase in magnitude.
Although few domestic brands will continue to cultivate on this small displacement model, Lifan seems to be very persistent about it. It is difficult to compete with other brands in the field of large displacement, but it is also a differentiated choice to make efforts in the field of small displacement.
Although Lifan's motorcycle road stumbled, it missed the best period of outbreak. However, it is undeniable that as an old enterprise in Chongqing, Lifan still has a great advantage in small displacement models.
