纯正运动踏板，11980元的性价比足够高—MBP Feelink S150动态测评
Main configuration
The exterior design is remarkable, and the lines on the side of the body, the connection and transition are very smooth, running through the entire body in one go, without the slightest cumbersomeness. The color separation design of the same color makes the whole body appear more layered but not abrupt. The front face is decorated with a grille design similar to that of a car, and the surface is chrome-plated, and each bump is like a meteor shower in the night sky, crossing the sky from large to small, looking exquisite.
Keyless start, LCD positive display, front USB+Type-C charging port, full LED light, side bracket fire-off, double flash, and all the configurations that should be available.
The power is the same as MBP's previous C150, but the power has been fine-tuned, with a maximum power of 9.7kw/8000 rpm and a maximum torque of 13.7 Nm at 6000 rpm.
The braking configuration comes standard with dual-channel ABS and TCS that can be closed, 260 mm front and 240 rear large-diameter disc brakes, and one-way dual caliper braking at the front and rear.
The tires are selected from the road tires provided by Zhengxin, the front 16 and the rear 14 oversized wheels, the benefits are very obvious, the stability is stronger while increasing the ground clearance, the minimum ground clearance is as high as 135mm, through the general potholes, the big wheels pass directly, the general road teeth are also directly rolled over, the ability to pass through the level, the convenience of daily use will be excellent.
The bucket storage is extra-large, which can accommodate two 3/4 helmets, and the built-in seat bucket lighting LED lights are also the reason why the U150 has less pedal space, and the limited body length is given to the seat bucket.
sitting posture
The 790mm sitting height is quite high, but thanks to the narrowed design of the front end of the cushion, the actual riding experience is not very stressful, and the 178-height knight basically lands on the ground with the sole of his foot, and the rider with a height of 172cm lands on the ground with the front half of the foot. And 146kg curb weight, even if the sole of one foot lands on the ground, there is no pressure to support the car, so users with a height of about 165 can also land on their toes.
After riding, the fit between the saddle and the rider is good, the legroom is quite comfortable, the disadvantage is that the position of the handlebar is lower, after half a day of driving, you can still feel a certain sense of soreness in the waist, it can be seen that the U150 riding triangle is still focused on street riding.
The engine runs at an excellent quality
It is worth mentioning that the U150 on this water-cooled 2-valve engine, when the speed is about 3600rpm, the transmission combination begins to start, which needs to be overcome for acute sub-motorcyclists, of course, the advantage is that the transmission combination is very smooth. What's even more impressive is that the vibration suppression performance of the whole vehicle is quite excellent, and the vibration of the seat pedals and handlebars in idle mode is very subtle, even at medium and high speeds of 80 km/h, which must be praised. The power engine sound is very soft, and even when the big throttle is unscrewed, the noise is still very small. The vibration and noise performance has the feeling of a Japanese 125 pedal engine, which is impressive.
Excellent shock absorption
Riding the U150 through the stone pavement and the high convex manhole cover on the road, the shock absorber can well filter out the bumpy feeling brought by the road surface, giving the rider a comfortable driving experience, and indeed can do it as if walking on the ground, which is the benefit of the large stroke shock absorption and color calibration. The U150's shock absorption filters out potholes very well, which is unmatched by scooters with regular wheel diameters.
At the same time, the front 16 inches and the rear 14 inches of oversized wheels, but also bring up to 135mm minimum ground clearance, test drive on the way to the general ditches, steps, road teeth easy to pass, basically can be opened casually, no pressure, even in the broken road during the trip, the passability is also excellent, this is also what we are talking about, the unique charm of European Bigfoot.
Corner experience
Of course, with the orientation of comfort tuning, in some radical corner driving, there are bound to be certain deficiencies, when the heavy braking before entering the corner, the compression of the shock absorber is obvious, which also leads to a certain sinking and instability in the front position, but there is no bottoming situation, because the middle and rear support of this set of shock absorbers is sufficient, and it performs well for comfort and daily cornering, and the tuning is excellent.
When you pass the corner at a high inclination, you can clearly feel the feet starting to touch the ground, and the tires have reached their limit. The air temperature in Guangzhou was 28 degrees that day, and the tires performed well in the corner, and there was no slippage or lack of grip. After continuous S-shaped corners, you can clearly feel that the U150's dumping speed is decent, after all, this is a European-style Bigfoot that focuses on comfortable riding, and the overall riding style is more lazy, which is also reasonable.
The U150's performance is highly comfortable in daily riding, mainly reflected in the small steering angle of the U150 when performing some small-radius steering operations, and the agility performance is inferior to its own C150 Mate. In the case of emergency braking, the U150's ABS intervention is timely, and the overall stability of the vehicle is good, and there is no lack of braking force or fluttering feeling of the body, which is also worthy of recognition.
Of course, there is also a flaw in riding, when passing through the manhole cover that has just been sprinkled with water during the ride, you can clearly feel that the rear wheel has a certain slippage, but fortunately, there is the intervention of TCS. As far as the original CST road tires are concerned, the grip performance is enough, but it may not reach the level of easy use, it is recommended that riders who need to change a set of semi-hot melt tires, and the performance of the U150 is perfect.
summary
U150's positioning is very clear, this is a European Bigfoot with a high degree of comfort, elegant and casual style, with ultra-high passing performance and comfort, excellent engine running quality, mainstream configuration and elegant European appearance design, with a sincere price of 11980 yuan, so that U150 cost-effective. Compared with the high price of about 25,000 yuan for the only competing product of the same kind, the U150 is simply too intimate. Such a super cost-effective and mainstream configuration, there is no rival in the field of Bigfoot in this segment, and riders who are interested in big-wheel pedals must test drive it.
