The Infinite SR250GT has dropped sharply, successfully triggering a wave of price cuts for small and medium-displacement scooters at the end of 2023. Followed by Wuji SR250GT will reduce ** to 16666 yuan, Zongshen will also reduce Saikelong RT2 to 15800 yuan, and Qianjiang will also reduce the Hong 250 commemorative version to 15999 yuan. 250 enters the 150** range.
This is the second most influential price cut this year, the last time the price cut of medium and large displacement motorcycles, and medium and large displacement motorcycles only accounted for about 10 of the total sales of the market, so although it looks lively, but the sense of gain of consumers is not strong.
Until Wuji dropped a bombshell on the domestic motorcycle market.
In recent days, we have been paying attention to the evaluation of the SR250GT, and from some evaluation articles and ** reflections, we see that both power, vibration, acceleration, and fuel consumption have been basically affirmed.
However, the majority of consumers who have been educated again and again by domestic enterprises are not only valued by simple performance and configuration, but also by the reliability and durability of products, and the benchmark of these two indicators is Japanese motorcycles. Therefore, we need to keep an eye out for time to prove the reliability and durability of the SR250GT.
Recently, we have seen two new technologies displayed by Honda, one is the E-Clutch electronic clutch technology, which has been applied to the latest versions of the CB650R and CBR650R models. Another technology is an upgrade of the motorcycle's active balancing system, replacing the bulky gyroscope with an auxiliary balancing motor, which not only enables self-balancing but also reversing the motorcycle. It can be seen that Honda will not only reduce prices, but also core competitiveness from technological innovation.
Similarly, Loncin is also actively improving its technical capabilities.
On October 27, Loncin held a hybrid system technology conference at its Chongqing plant, officially unveiling the 48V automotive-grade mild hybrid system that has been developed for more than three years, and arranging a comparative test drive of the Wuji 150GT, the first pedal model equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system. There are already Dayang and Qianjiang in China making hybrid motorcycles, and the current Loncin mild hybrid motorcycles are also worth looking forward to.
Another patent application of Loncin is the design of motorcycle training wheels, when the vehicle is stationary, the training wheels will automatically be lowered to play a supporting role, and when the start is completed, the training wheels will automatically retract, and at the same time, they can play an auxiliary role when cornering, without affecting the vehicle's handling and cornering. It is reported that this technology will be the first to be applied to the ADV model DS525X under Wuji.
Today, when domestic motorcycles are generally configured, Loncin is also involuting, but from the other side, we see that Loncin is actively preparing technology, perhaps after the first war, Loncin will cause technical competition.
Technical competition is another key ability of domestic motorcycle enterprises, which will transform the domestic motorcycle market from heap configuration-based to technical competition-based development model transformation. Only such a development model can meet the requirements of the world market, and it is possible to compete with Japanese motorcycle companies on the same stage.
After the war, enterprises ultimately have to rely on technological innovation and improve product quality to achieve survival and development.
Perhaps for various reasons, we may not buy Wuji SR250GT, but we must thank Wuji, maybe after this wave of price reductions, it will open a real competition between domestic motorcycle companies. List of high-quality authors
