Use data to expose the truth, with the trend of ** motorcycles, hello everyone, I am a little brother who loves motorcycles, a lover who likes to interpret motorcycles with data thinking. (The platform is limited, and it is not easy to meet.) 2023 is coming to an end, looking back at this year's motorcycle market, you will find that both cruising and imitation racing have ushered in the rise of displacement this year, especially the imitation racing models above 500cc, with the gradual development and improvement of novice demand, more and more attention to medium and large displacement, the generation of advanced demand has promoted the upward development of this domestic motorcycle market, which also makes our domestic medium and large displacement locomotives gradually prosperous, such as the Benelli tornado to talk about in this issue Tornado 552R, a medium-sized locomotive born in this atmosphere, will conduct an in-depth analysis of this model from multiple dimensions, hoping to provide a strong reference for your car purchase decision.
Power parameters: Zero hundred acceleration between the two sides.
First of all, let's take a look at some dry goods, you can simply understand what are the three models to be compared in this issue through the power parameter comparison table (the data marked in red in the table is unofficial data).
Through the comparison table of power parameters, it can be seen that the engine compression ratio of the front Wuji RR525 and Benelli 552R is exactly the same, mainly the difference between the cylinder bore and stroke size, so the actual displacement Tornado 552R that is finally shown is a small level larger, so just look at the engine parameters, this Benelli Tornado Tornado 552R is more cost-effective.
About the zero hundred acceleration data in the table needs to be specially explained, so as not to mislead everyone, the data in the table are taken from a car rim platform, the credibility of the data is still quite high, it can be seen that Benelli 552R 44 seconds 000 acceleration data, and 4 of Wuji 5255 seconds, the difference is actually very small, but it is a head stronger than Honda's CBR. However, the zero hundred acceleration data is only a theoretical value for most of us, and it is impossible for us to run out of this gap (friendly reminder: no strong technology, don't try to measure the speed, life matters).
In terms of lightweight, the curb weight of the Infinite RR525 is the lightest, only 172kg, which may also be the reason why the Infinite can achieve a smaller horsepower output but the zero hundred data can be on par with the other two. However, I don't know if the lightweight is too extreme, and the real car effect of Wuji will feel very loose, and it is even a little bit like a 500-level imitation racing model.
Appearance Comparison Whose family lineage is purer?
The specific renderings of some models have been released one after another, and here is a side shed photo of the above four models to facilitate better comparison and find differences.
The sensory attribute of appearance varies from person to person, after all, turnip and cabbage have their own loves, no one is better looking than whom, only who you like more. In terms of appearance, although Wuji has a series of imitation races, Wuji's designers often design aesthetics, so it also leads to the uneven reputation of his model's appearance, and it is estimated that there is no way to form a family appearance for this reason, after all, the previous Wuji 250 has also been complained about by the majority of users.
In terms of appearance, I have to admit that Qianjiang plays a little more slippery, whether it is the race series or the tornado series, they have successfully created their own unique set of family bloodlines.
Personally, I still prefer the exterior design of the Benelli Tornado 552R, which inherits the family appearance genes but also adds more sporty and novel elements, such as the bold and innovative front face design, although to some extent it is still based on the optimization of the family design, but it obviously feels more different.
However, this highly recognizable design, there are pros and cons, people who like it may like it more, but people who don't like it are likely to be persuaded to retire because of this headlight design, which can be regarded as a barrier to innovative design, after all, it breaks the routine and breaks away from the golden mean, which will inevitably lead to audience differentiation.
In fact, I haven't talked about the appearance of Honda CBR500, mainly because there is really nothing to boast about, the biggest difference between CBR500 and CBR400 is that one is made in Thailand, and the difference in appearance is mainly reflected in the prints, as well as the price!Just look at the comparison chart of the CBR400 and 500 below, can you tell who is who.
Size Comparison Honda's range is a real surprise.
The appearance is a bit too much here, so let's speed up, and then let's take a look at the situation of the model in terms of size, so that friends who have not seen the actual car can have a measure.
As a 500-class imitation race, the size data of this model is strikingly similar in many dimensions, such as wheelbase, car length, ground clearance and seat height. The big difference may be in the ratio of the fuel tank, the minimum fuel tank of the stepless RR525 is only 145L, while the Honda CBR500 has a maximum fuel tank of 171L, the fuel tank of the Benelli 552R is also not small 16The 5-liter fuel tank is definitely a big fuel tank among imitation racing models.
Fuel consumption varies from person to person, and each person's driving habits are different, and fuel consumption data is also different. In addition to Honda, which focuses on fuel economy far more than driving pleasure, has successfully achieved a very low level of fuel consumption, and the other two are because the engine is too irritable, and the fuel consumption level is indeed much higher than that of Honda CBR500, which is basically 4 kilometers per 100 kilometersAround 5L, they are all runners who can barely hold on to 300 kilometers. However, although Honda's fuel consumption is indeed low, the brand premium is too high, and the extra money spent is enough to refuel for 13 years, right?So the size is evenly divided here, except for Honda's absolute advantage in fuel consumption, the difference between the other two models is very slight. The three models are actually about the same, but the comfort of the seat cushion must be voted for Benelli, and even the Wuji seat cushion has to be reduced by one vote because it is too slippery.
Now comes to the main part of this article.
Configuration list Configuration - the core competitiveness of domestic brands.
In fact, whenever it comes to configuration, Brother Xiao Ma will be very happy, because the domestic production is really strong, and it is the kind of degree that throws off the joint venture import several streets, and I feel very cool inexplicably, let's look at the detailed list specifically.
Front brake configuration
First of all, the front brake configuration of the two models, the two models of Wuji and Benelli have Brembo opposite four-piston calipers, while the CBR500R uses Nissin dual-piston calipers, which needs to be specially explainedBenelli uses a 320mm dual-disc pattern + dual-Brembo counter-facing four-piston calipers, so in the front brake configuration Benelli wins!And Honda was a complete defeat!And the one in the middle is a half-paralyzed player.
In addition, the double disc looks at the thief peace of mind, there is a sense of luxury, the improvement of self-confidence is also huge, and the actual braking effect above the model equipped with dual disc brake mode is indeed much better than the other two single disc brake mode models. There is always a fascinating symmetry to the double dish
In terms of rear brake configuration
The rear brake configuration is more unexpectedOnly Benelli gave Brembo's two-piston calipers, whileBoth Infinite and Honda are Nissin's single-piston calipers, soThe rear brake configuration is still Benelli's victory!However, it is also understandable why the other two models have invariably carried out a simple configuration in the rear brake, because for the imitation racing model, the rear brake is more to adjust the speed, rather than really used to decelerate immediately, and if you want to brake quickly, you still have to rely on the front brake.
The brake upper pump here is a direct push upper pump for the two domestic models, and they are equipped with a transparent oil pot that looks very high-end, compared to Honda's, it is too classless.
In terms of suspension configuration
In terms of suspension, everyone is in place: in terms of brand alone, Benelli 552R uses Marzocchi's inverted shock absorption (support adjustment), while the stepless RR525 uses Yu'an 41mm inverted front reduction, as for Honda CBR500, because it is an imported car and it is 70,000 **, so the configuration is not castrated.
In fact, the suspension is more important than the brand for imitation racing models, but this sports feeling is not good to evaluate who is strong and who is weak, as for the use of rear shock absorbers, each has its own style and configuration, but it is basically the same.
Safety configuration & instrumentationIn terms of safety configuration, the four models are given the front and rear ABS anti-lock braking system, as for the TCS traction control system, only the two models are equipped with the Wuji and Benelli models, and the three models in the slip clutch period are standard. It is more intuitive to put the meter situation directly on the map.
Both models in China use TFT instrumentsHowever, in terms of screen size alone, Benelli's widescreen TFT meter is a bit larger than the others. Accessibility features are the two most complete and supportiveVehicle-machine interconnectionNavigate to the screenTire pressure monitoringAnd so on, as for HondaLCD antique gaugesThere's not much to say.
Conclusion Although thanks to Wuji, Benelli is more cost-effective.
On the whole, Wuji is the lowest priced model here, only 28980 yuan, compared with the 33980 yuan price reduction at the time when it was just listed, the price reduction reached 5000 yuan, as if the cost performance has increased a lot in an instant, but the actual market feedback seems to be very calm, I can feel that the current consumers have experienced many rounds of baptism, in addition to the focus of more attention to the experience of riding, quality control and after-sales service, etc., but still thanks to Wuji The butcher has brought us more ** benefits, but for the 500cc model recommendation, I would probably be more willing to recommend the Benelli Tornado 552R, for the simple reason that it has more power, better braking, and better after-sales and quality control!At least there are quite a few directly-operated stores in Beijing Benelli.
Okay, that's all for this issue, I'm a little brother who loves motorcycles!Thank you for taking the time to read this article, and thank you for always being with me. Yes!Your attention is the biggest motivation for me to continue to create and bring more great content to you. Thank you again for your kindness, and we'll see you next time!
