Chongqing's emerging car manufacturer, Manken, a mini motorcycle brand, exhibited a new mini model M9 on the first day of the 135th Canton Fair on April 15. This mini retro motorcycle that resembles the "Black Arrow" of Husswana Svartpilen is also another new car after Lingming and Wild Fun, before which Manken's Lingming and Wild Fun have left a deep impression on us, and what are the highlights of this new retro climbing style mini motorcycle!
First of all, the exterior design, Manken's climbing-style retro mini bike borrows some of Huswana's Black Arrow design elements, especially the shape of the fuel tank and the entire side panel connected to the fuel tank are quite similar, and the exposed frame is very Chunfeng 250NK style.
This appearance can be said to be a bit of a collection of the strengths of each family, but in fact, as long as the reference is good, consumers also like to hear it, and they can accept it more happily. Judging from the M9 on the side panels of the body, it should be the name of this new car.
▲Aluminum alloy material on the Samsung platform
▲Yu'an inverted front shock absorber
▲ Hangte brake calipers
Then there's the equipment, and while minibikes tend to focus more on appearance than on configuration, Manken's new M9 does both. This car adopts the inverted front shock absorber provided by Yu'an, the middle rear shock absorber (preload adjustable) to improve the sports performance, the front and rear are disc brakes with Hangte's brake calipers (front double rear single), plus dual-channel ABS, fully ensure the safety performance. The original 12-inch multi-purpose tires also have more practicality, and the chassis specifications are comparable to the mainstream level of the same class.
▲Matrix LED lens headlights
▲Round LCD meter
▲USB charging port
▲Aluminum alloy front and rear pedals
Of course, in addition to the above configurations, the Mann M9 is also equipped with a 3.5-inch round LCD gauge, matrix layout lens LED headlights, front and rear LED turn signals, LED taillights, USB charging port, adjustable handlebars. In some details, this car also uses aluminum alloy upper and lower stars, aluminum alloy front and rear pedal assembly, double cable throttle, etc., the details are full of care.
As a mini model, the Manncan M9 has a relatively small size, and the curb weight of this car is only 128kg, which is very easy to move and support, only 770mm seat height, and it is also very suitable for petite riders, but the seemingly small body, the fuel tank capacity has reached 8.5L, and the endurance level is worth looking forward to.
The fuel tank comes with a (removable) expansion bracket and Huswana's black and white arrow series is exactly the same, this bracket is actually for the decoration on the one hand, on the other hand, it is also for the convenience of those who need to load the fuel tank bag, after all, the mini motorcycle has nothing to expand the storage space, and there is a fuel tank bag to carry a lot of items when traveling.
Finally, the power part, Mann M9 is equipped with a 149cc displacement vertical single-cylinder air-cooled engine, with a maximum power of 8.3kw/8000rpm, a maximum torque of 11.4Nm/6000rpm, matched with a 5-speed gearbox, and a compression ratio of only 9.3:1, which also means that this car only needs to be filled with 92 gasoline, it is worth mentioning that this engine is also equipped with Bosch's EFI system, which effectively improves the running quality and stability of the engine.
In recent years, the rise of the mini motorcycle segment is obvious to all, but in fact, many people have a biased view of mini motorcycles, and even think that mini motorcycles are specially prepared for small people. In fact, a mini bike is more like a big toy, and it can attract even more people than ordinary motorcycles. And some of the current mini models also have a tendency to get bigger and bigger, for example, the Manncan M9 does look like a typical mini motorcycle, but the slightly larger people sit on it (above), it will not feel very cramped, taking into account more consumers of different heights.
The domestic motorcycle market has exploded unprecedentedly, and there are countless new motorcycle brands, among which there are not a few brands that love mini motorcycles, but among these brands, they can occupy the market and impress consumers, but there are very few brands recognized by consumers. One of them is Manken, who has always been committed to creating boutique models, and this is reflected in the previous two models. With the accumulation of experience and the precipitation of technology, Manken's new M9 is bound to bring more progress and more surprises. The participation in the Canton Fair also proves that Manncan is actively exploring overseas markets, and I believe that in the near future, Mannken's products will also become a sweet spot in the eyes of foreign players.
