In 2018, when Qianjiang launched the Jinpeng 502, it was the most popular recreational ADV model, with a good sound, full body, and oversized body, which almost satisfied the intuitive imagination of car lovers from BMW's "water bird" for ADV models. Although the engine and workmanship were not perfect, it still made it the choice of most riders.
The time has come to 2024, and now the new TRK552 has been upgraded many times, and the stability of the engine and the details of the body have been greatly improved. The appearance still retains the original large bird's beak design, and the deflectors on both sides have been slightly adjusted in details. The all-LED headlights have finally been installed, and the shape of the headlights has become a little more spiritual, and the appearance has not changed much compared to the original generation.
Compared with the original generation of TRK552, the swingarm has also been upgraded to aluminum alloy, but compared to the body size of the whole vehicle, it is always felt that this swingarm is a little smaller. In addition, the paint of the whole vehicle and the texture of the plates have also become better, and the off-road version with gold front 19 rear 17-inch spoke wheels does have a good temperament.
In terms of power, the actual displacement of the new TRK552 engine has reached 548.9cc, the maximum power is 45.0kW/8500rpm, the maximum torque is 55.0N.m/6000rpm, and the slipper clutch is standard. After years of iterative updates, this engine is also a relatively stable one in Qianjiang and even in China.
The new TRK552 performance is also good, and the vehicle is equipped with a 5-inch full-color TFT LCD instrument in addition to full-LED lamps, which supports mobile phone interconnection function. In addition, it comes standard with stock guards, tyre pressure monitoring, three-stage adjustable heated handlebars and heated front seats, and the tyres are Pirelli branded.
In terms of shock absorption and braking, the new TRK552 is equipped with 320mm dual-disc J.Juan opposite-facing four-piston calipers at the front and 260mm single-disc J.Juan opposite-facing dual-piston calipers at the rear. The front shock absorber adopts Mazuqi inverted hydraulic shock absorption, and the rear shock absorber is a mid-mounted hydraulic spring shock absorber, both of which support adjustment function. A dual-channel ABS system is standard, but unfortunately not equipped with TCS traction control.
Now, with the continuous introduction of domestic models of the same level, coupled with the market price in the past two years, the off-road version of 43,800 yuan has now come to a price of 36,680 yuan, and has better configurations. If you want to have a middleweight ADV model with a lot of swagger, then this TRK552 is still a good choice.
