We have seen a lot of rally motorcycles, retro style rally motorcycles are still relatively rare, except for Huswana's Norden 901, there are no other high-value retro style rallies, appearing in the domestic market. However, the price of the imported Norden 901 is not cheap, if you also like this style, you must have been paying attention to the iron chrysalis of high gold, although it has been unveiled for a year or two, but it has not been officially launched until today.
On July 29th, the high-gold iron armor chrysalis was officially announced on the market, the price of the leading version is 29980 yuan, the price of the premium version is 31580 yuan, both versions are the price after the limited-time discount of 1000, the leading version and the premium version are different in the configuration part, the specific differences are as follows:
In fact, the two versions are roughly functionally similar, more of the difference between parts suppliers, such as slipper clutch, the high-end version is FCC, the tire is the difference between Tengsen and Pirelli, the shock absorption is Chuannan and KYB, the caliper is Hangte and Xihu, ABS is Saifu and Bosch, etc.
The most attractive thing about the high gold iron armor chrysalis is the retro-style appearance, people give the nickname "grasshopper", as for how this nickname came about, there is no way to trace, but this appearance is indeed a bit like "grasshopper", the posture and color of the whole car are indeed very consistent with the image of grasshoppers, not to mention that this appearance is quite individual, and it is very handsome! What's even more outrageous is that one of the two colors of the ironclad chrysalis is called "green grasshopper" and the other is called "yellow grasshopper".
The appearance of the high-gold iron chrysalis is designed by the European team, this appearance style is similar to the HuswanaNorden901, which can be called the Nordic retro style, and at the same time incorporates some design elements of rally cars, so the high-gold iron chrysalis does not have the "bird's beak" of the traditional ADV model, and the flat-headed shape and narrow body seem to be more suitable for standing riding.
Although there are some retro elements in it, the appearance style of the iron chrysalis is still very tough, the front 19 inches and the rear 17 inches of steel wire sub slats, as well as the long stroke of shock absorption, so that the ground clearance of the whole car has reached 200mm, and the front and rear shock absorption stroke is also 180mm, so the iron chrysalis has a very good foundation, and it can also play hardcore off-road roads.
The actual picture is a low-profile version of the model, using the front and rear shock absorption of southern Sichuan, the front and rear brake calipers of Hangte, and the all-terrain vacuum tire of Tengsen, while the iron chrysalis also continues the setting of the front single disc brake on the GK500 series, and the high-level exhaust pipe also brings higher playability.
The handlebar buttons are the same as GK500, but the instrument has been fully upgraded, 7-inch vertical screen full-color instrument, which is very in line with the appearance of this similar rally car, and the layout and distribution inside the instrument are also very clear and do not interfere with each other, and the popular mobile phone screen projection function is also available.
In terms of power, it is still the same 486cc displacement parallel twin-cylinder water-cooled engine, with a maximum power of 35kw/8500rpm and a maximum torque of 43Nm/6750rpm, and a slipper clutch as standard. Although this set of data is not so impressive today, considering that this engine has been with the Gaojin GK500 series for 4 years, its stability and reliability have been tested by the market, which is rare for a rally motorcycle that often needs to run long distances.
A small summary, in fact, the selling point of the high-gold iron armor chrysalis is clear at a glance, whether it is the appearance of personality or the retro-style shape, it is relatively scarce in the current market, and the appearance alone can attract many people. In addition, the starting price is now less than 30,000 yuan, which is indeed not expensive for a 500cc rally model, and even the low-profile version has enough configuration in all aspects, so the cost performance is also a big aspect. In the end, it is the reputation that Gaojin has laid before, the workmanship, details, and quality control are very good, but they are not good at publicity. Xiaobian thinks that the car of the iron chrysalis is still worth trying.
