At this year's Beijing Motor Show, Kaiwei MBP models of all camps were exhibited, although the lineup was not as large as that at the Milan Motor Show last year, but many models could also be seen on display. From the observation of this show car, Xiaobian believes that Kaiwei's layout for the domestic market will be expanded. Previously, it was only the introduction of pedal models, and the next block car will be slowly introduced into the domestic market, and it is no exaggeration to say that Kaiwei MBP will be a full range of layout in China.
收购Morbidelli,MBP品牌重塑
At this Beijing motorcycle exhibition, Kaiwei MBP took the opportunity to release a new brand upgrade plan, and on the 18th of last month, MBP officially acquired the old company Morbidelli (Mobidelli) in the foreign market. This once dominating car company has now been acquired by MBP, and there must be meaning behind any acquisition, and the greatest value of Morbidelli is the engine, and we have time to publish a story about Morbidelli for car lovers.
After the acquisition of the Morbidelli brand, Kaiwei officially integrated it with the MBP brand, so a new design was also made on the brand LOGO. The new logo is a combination of black and white, with the existing MBP logo retained on the inside while the Morbidelli lettering on the outer ring, and the staggered foliage below and the black and white dots of the finish flag also symbolize the wreath of champions that once dominated the race.
MBP will also build and open the "Mobidley R&D and Design Center" in Bologna to gather the top design resources in Europe, and I believe that this old brand will also usher in new products.
The international resources of Kaiwei Group will also play an active role in the acquisition of Morbidelli this time, and it is believed that China is also a very important market in the next step when it was unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show. It is understood that the next MBP models will cover 125-1200cc of all categories of fuel motorcycles, and the first batch of medium and large displacement products will meet with domestic riders in the second half of this year at the earliest. At this exhibition, we can also see the participation of new energy models, and carry out product layout in different product fields such as HYPE series electric motorcycles, electric light motorcycles, electric self-motorcycles, electric bicycles, and road bicycles.
新车预告：Feelink C150 IRON
At today's press conference, Kaiwei also brought the "iron shell" retro pedal C150 IRON, the whole vehicle is made of steel frame and automotive-grade steel "iron body section", the strength is twice that of ordinary steel pipes, and the DC06 steel used in the covering parts can reach 250Mpa high tensile strength and greater than 180Mpa yield strength, summing up one word is "hard". However, the color scheme displayed on the scene is very small and fresh, and the texture of the paint water of the two colors is also very delicate.
The C150 IRON is powered by the same single-cylinder, liquid-cooled four-valve engine as the S150, with a maximum horsepower of 15 hp. At the same time, it also adopts a rocker arm multi-link front shock absorber, and with dual-channel ABS and TCS, it will be guaranteed in terms of comfort and safety.
In addition, it is equipped with a 5-inch TFT screen projection instrument, tire pressure display, keyless start, LED lens headlights, side support flameout, pulse ignition, USB interface and other configurations. It is worth mentioning that this iron high-end version will also be matched with electronic throttle, handlebar heating, seat heating and dash cam, and I believe that no one else will have this configuration.
新车预告:Finder 250
The Finder 250 is an entry-level ADV model, and the arrival of this model also means that the blocking cars are coming. Kaiwei was the first to launch this model with a displacement of 250cc, and it seems that it sees a vacancy in this class of models in the domestic market. The overall positioning of the Tracer 250 is relatively tough, whether it is the riding triangle, as well as the shock absorption, tires, brakes and other configuration specifications, they are all designed according to the standards of rally cars. It is also available in a trail version with spoked wheels and a road version with plate wheels.
In terms of configuration, the Tracer 250 is equipped with full LED lamps and 6.75-inch full-color TFT large-screen instruments, which support mobile phone interconnection function. The blacked-out windshield is also very sporty, along with very wide handguards. 19-inch front and rear 17-inch tires, with spoked wheels and high-grab pineapple tires on the trail variant, and aluminum wheels and road tyres on the road variant.
Adjustable long-travel front shock absorber and multi-link mid-mounted rear shock absorber for full off-road passing performance. Dual-channel ABS+TCS combined with large-caliber wave disc brakes can provide better safety protection. The original factory is also equipped with a two-stage full bumper, high-level exhaust, oil-sealed chain, etc., and the 11.7-liter fuel tank and three-box equipment can also provide good range and storage needs.
New energy vehicles followed
In addition, we also saw the exhibition of new energy models at the booth, and the concept car HYPE VISION, which has a high-tech exterior design, seems to have traveled from the future, and of course, as a concept car, it is more about conveying the concept of the product. BACK TO REALITY, THE HYPEVOLT, AN ELECTRIC SCOOTER THAT FOCUSES ON PRACTICALITY AND DAILY COMMUTING, AND THE HYPERIDE, AN ELECTRIC OFF-ROAD VEHICLE THAT IS FULL OF DRIVING FUN, ARE THE KEY TO THE MARKET, AND THE HYPEVOLT IS EXPECTED TO BE THE FIRST EV PRODUCT TO ENTER THE DOMESTIC MARKET.
In addition, S01comfort and S01spor are also making their debut in China, focusing on the market positioning of commuter travel. The minimalist design style and exquisite workmanship believe that you will stop and take a good look when you see the real car. Models in the NEV market will also be launched in the second half of this year, which is believed to bring a lot of market competition to competitors in the same class.
Wrap up at the end
Kaiwei MBP's confidence in entering the domestic market is self-evident, and several pedal models released not long ago were opened for pre-order, which once collapsed the applet. This is also enough to see the recognition of domestic car lovers for Kaiwei MBP models, of course, behind this is also the result of the excellent workmanship, rich configuration and high cost performance of each model. We will also continue to pay attention to the new car of Kaiwei MBP and bring you the latest news as soon as possible.
