In recent years, the concept of motorcycles being used for "fun" has been recognized by more and more young people, so it has become a craze to obtain a driver's license and join the ranks of motorcycle riders. For these new blood, accustomed to seeing pedals, pathways, street cars, and retro on the road, what should be the knight symbol that belongs to their unique personality?
There is no doubt that it is time to give everyone a little MINI shock. As the first to set foot in the field of MINI cars in China, and constantly innovating Yingang motorcycles, grasp the preferences of young people at the moment and launch a MINI car that truly fits the hearts of young people, which is really familiar with the road. So let's focus on the latest MINI model Honey Badger 150 launched this year, and get a closer look at what the best MINI car in China is.
Styling & Appearance
In the field of domestic MINI models, silver steel is definitely the most influential brand, after all, as the creator of Chinese MINI models, silver steel for the development of MINI models has always revolved around the driving Xi suitable for domestic knights, suitable for the purchase of domestic knights, suitable for the aesthetic trend of domestic knights continue to innovate, and this silver steel honey badger 150 launched this year is currently the most suitable version of the answer for domestic fashion trends and the preferences of the new generation of knights in 2023.
The appearance of the silver steel honey badger can be seen at a glance that it belongs to a very classic style of MINI car, small and cute, and the color matching is also very brilliant. Its style belongs to the retro off-road type of models, high-level mud guards, heightened and widened handles, high-level exhaust, plus retro must-have high-level exhaust and lattice, the temperament of the whole car is that retro off-road style. It looks like the milk is fierce.
When we tested, several people came over to take a group photo and asked what kind of car this was, which shows that the face controllers like this kind of motorcycle that is both good-looking and retro.
Its diamond-shaped grid cushion can be said to be the hallmark of its retro elements, which makes the temperament of the whole vehicle go up a notch, and it looks much better than the same type of car with traditional cushions.
The pedals and side braces are made of aluminum alloy, which not only reduces the weight of the body, but also improves its durability and beauty, making the car look more luxurious.
The rearview mirror is also a round retro rearview mirror, which is very in line with the retro temperament of this car, and the vision range of the rearview mirror is ideal, and it does not affect its vision range because it is a round rearview mirror.
The small and tall fender tiles at the front and rear look cute, which is not only small, but also adds to the off-road attributes of this car. It seems to tell the person who likes it, "I'm very fierce".
The exhaust unexpectedly uses a more aesthetically pleasing and off-road high-mounted exhaust, which looks short but is also cute.
Its "unrestrained" yellow body and its wild latte art form the overall tonality of the silver steel honey badger, and "play" is my main theme.
Spanning common pathways, street cars, retro and other trends, for the new generation of riders who want to be unique and at the same time meet the needs of play, the era of MINI cars has arrived.
Lighting & Storage
The headlights of the silver steel honey badger use round retro LED headlights, which not only meet the aesthetics of retro players, but also meet the needs of modern car lovers for lighting, because it is daytime, it is a pity that the brightness of the lights is not tested, but generally speaking, the LED light source used by this type of car is enough at night.
Its front and rear four turn signals and rear taillights are also LED light sources to ensure the durability of the overall light source of the vehicle, and all its lamps and lanterns are used as a round retro design, making the vehicle more coordinated.
The instrument adopts a single instrument design, the instrument adopts a negative dial, the brightness is average, and it feels difficult to see clearly in the strong sunlight, which is also a pity.
The car didn't have any hope for storage space, but it also unexpectedly designed a tailstock that could be used to strap something simple to cargo or a helmet or something like that.
Power & Configuration
The engine of the Silver Steel Honey Badger adopts a 149cc vertical engine with a maximum power of 7.8kW/7500RM, a maximum torque of 11.5Nm/5500 rpm, and a compression ratio of 9.1:1.
Even if it is of the same displacement, the engine power and torque of the Honey Badger are the strongest, and there is no one, the key is that it is still an international 5th gear, not a cycle gear, which is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
This silver steel honey badger belongs to the retro car, and it has everything that an ordinary vehicle should have, such as dual throttle cables, LED lights, electronic meters, front inverted shock absorption, rear 5-stage adjustable shock absorption, front and rear dual-piston disc brakes, and everything else.
The front shock absorber uses gold inverted shock absorption, which is very thick compared to the body, making the whole car look not so thin.
The rear shock absorbers are equipped with a five-stage adjustable damping spring and a two-stage shock setting. No wonder this car is so comfortable to ride.
epilogue
The silver steel honey badger car is very in line with all the aesthetic needs of modern people for MINI models, especially girls, who basically have no resistance to it (we basically came to take pictures during the test are girls), and the super high playfulness is also one of the points that boys like.
In general, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Silver Steel Honey Badger is a salty and sweet MINI car, right? Next, we will conduct a more in-depth riding test on the Silver Steel Honey Badger to see how such a cute small motorcycle rides.
