On April 12, MBP held the 2024 Feelink family new product launch conference in Guangzhou with the theme of "Finding You on the Same Frequency". At the press conference, MBP officially unveiled three new models of the Feelink family in the domestic market, which are the C150 Mate, which focuses on exquisite retro, the U150 with comfortable wheels, and the S150 with sports handling. In fact, these three cars have been warmed up for a long time before, and presumably those who pay attention to MBP know about them.
Although the warm-up is a little long, it still brings a very big surprise to everyone in terms of price, including Feelink C150Mate is priced at 9,980 yuan, Feelink U150 is priced at 11,980 yuan, and Feelink S150 is priced at 11,980 yuan (SR mobile color matching is 12,180 yuan). I have to say that MBP did not disappoint the long-awaited riders, and such a price is really very sincere. So how do the three models perform, let's take a look!
C150 Mate：主打复古质感
The Mate at the press conference can be said to be the most temperamental model, the appearance of the Mate in the same level of retro on the market is a unique existence, different from the appearance of other manufacturers of copycat models, the design of Mate is more of its own design concept. Hexagonal front and rear light fixtures, a continuous grille, air intake trim, chrome finishing, etc., all give this retro pedal a more unique retro look.
The split seats and narrowed seat cushion design make the seat height of 780mm very affordable, and the front and rear seats are divided into the panels on both sides of the body. In addition, the shiny paint of the whole vehicle is really very textured, and sure enough, this automotive-grade process BASF baking paint 3 layers of paint and 18 processes are not just talking. Of course, this also seems to be in line with the positioning and performance of the exquisite retro model.
In terms of configuration, Mate can be said to make up for the shortcomings of the previous C150, the vehicle is not only equipped with full-LED lamps and full-color TFT LCD instruments, but also equipped with keyless start, navigation projection function, USB+Type-C fast charging interface, seat bucket light, electric seat opening, pulse ignition, etc. Of course, the dual-channel ABS system and TCS traction control system, which are essential in the same class, are not absent, and both support independent opening and closing functions.
The retro Mate is powered by a very stable single-cylinder liquid-cooled two-valve engine with an actual displacement of 149cc, a maximum power of 10kW at 8000rpm and a maximum torque of 13.7Nm at 6000rpm. Xiaobian thinks that as a retro pedal model, riders don't need to care too much about the two-valve and four-valve, after all, in terms of fuel consumption performance and smoothness, the two valves are more in line with the model positioning.
U150: Elegantly and comfortably positioned
Different from the Mate, the large-wheel-diameter U150 has a strong style of European pedals in appearance, although the large-wheel-diameter pedals are not very popular in the domestic market, but in the 150 class, the U150 is also a more cost-effective model. Since the U150 focuses on comfort, it also looks more elegant in appearance, and the lines of the whole vehicle, whether it is the front, body or rear of the car, run through very smoothly, in one go.
At the same time, the U150 is equipped with ultra-long travel front shock absorber and five-stage preload adjustable rear shock absorber, plus 16 front and rear 14-inch tire specifications, whether it is a stone road, asphalt road, unpaved road and other car environments to bring comfort that other pedals cannot give. In addition, the U150 has decent seat space and can accommodate two 3/4 helmets.
In terms of configuration, U150 basically inherits all the configurations of Mate, but the instrument adopts LCD positive display material, and other features such as full LED lamps, keyless start, power seat opening, USB+Type-C fast charging interface, side support flameout, dual-channel ABS, TCS traction control, etc., are equipped, of which TCS also supports independent opening and closing functions.
In terms of power, it also uses a single-cylinder liquid-cooled two-valve engine with an actual displacement of 149cc, a maximum power of 9.7kW/8000rpm, and a maximum torque of 9.7Nm/6000rpm. The two-valve engine has excellent fuel consumption and stability.
S150: Great value sports pedal
Compared with the previous two models, the S150 has a completely different positioning, and the S150, which focuses on sports control, is very in line with the sports tone in terms of vehicle setting and exterior design. The sharp headlight design has a bit of rounded decoration, which is muscular and the vehicle is also very recognizable. Moreover, the layered front design and the floating short tail shape also give it a sporty momentum.
The vehicle also adopts the 50% front and rear weight ratio of the sports model, and the rear single shock absorber connected to the body structure also brings better traction and controllable performance in corners. At the same time, the S150 is also the most cost-effective sports pedal model among all domestic products.
In terms of configuration, the S150 is also excellent, and what others can give you and what can't be given to you are all given. The vehicle is equipped with full LED lamps, sports digital display instruments, dual-channel ABS, TCS traction control, keyless start, manual parking, electric seat opening, USB+Type-C fast charging interface, brake four-speed adjustment, etc.
In order to cater to the sporty positioning, the S150 is equipped with a single-cylinder liquid-cooled four-valve engine with an actual displacement of 150cc, a maximum power of 11kW/8000rpm, and a maximum torque of 14.5Nm/5000rpm. Compared to the two-valve engine, it has higher peak power and torque, and is more aggressive in rev setting.
The three models released by MBP will be officially available for pre-order on the official mini program at 10 a.m. on April 15. The first 500 pre-booked riders of each model can enjoy a discount of 100 to 1,000 yuan, and if the first 500 places are exhausted, they can enjoy a discount of 10 to 500. Among them, the scheduled models will be delivered on a first-come-first-order basis in late April, and the S150 will be delivered on a first-order-first-served basis in early May.
MBP Domestic Development
Together with the previously announced C150 and X series, Feelink also has as many as 5 models under its umbrella. Whether it is positioning or price, it has a very comprehensive layout, and I have to say that Keeway, which has been in the foreign market for more than 20 years, does have a very strong strength. It is understood that Keeway has established R&D centers in Milan, Barcelona and Shanghai, and it can also be seen that they have strong strength in product design and development.
In addition, Keeway also has quality standards that far exceed the standards of the domestic market, and each released model has to go through more than 20,000 kilometers of road tests and factory tests before going on the market. This also seems to make domestic car lovers more assured of its quality control and quality, and domestic manufacturers such as Chunfeng, Gaojin, etc. are also co-branded with MBP in foreign countries, perhaps it is under this strong market integration ability that there are new cars one after another.
