Mondo Cars Updated on 2024-01-30

In the new year, the automobile market will usher in another interval of competition with rolled up "rolls". At the Milan Motor Show, several automakers were targeting the 400-500 displacement class, among which, Kawasaki released two new models, the Ninja 500 and Z500, the successors of the Ninja 400 and Z400. At the same time, several major domestic brands have also launched flagship models such as Qianjiang Sai 450, Chunfeng 450SR, and Kaiyue 450RR.

The Ninja500 has some improvements in power and frame, with increased engine torque and faster power delivery at relatively low rpm. In addition, the Ninja 500 features a new body fairing, front face design and steel tube frame, and floating brake discs replaced with a standard round shape to further improve comfort. However, the overall body contour and design style still follow the design language of the previous Ninja 400 and Z400.

In terms of power and frame, as can be seen from the Z500's exposed engine side cover and frame details, the frame of the two new cars will not change significantly compared to the previous model. At the Milan Motor Show, Kawasaki unveiled the 70mm bore of the Ninja400 engine, just a 51 before the 51The 8mm piston stroke has been extended to 58The 6mm, although named 500, has only expanded its actual displacement to 451cc. In the domestic market, the obvious opponents of the Ninja500 are the Race 450 and Chunfeng 450SR of **motor.

The race 450 won the 3-hour final with a time of 131 laps, three laps faster than the six fastest Kawasaki Ninja 400s competing in the same field, indicating that the Ninja 400 has lost its previous advantage in performance in the 400cc class. Although the Ninja 500 is about to enter the domestic market, the maximum power of the Ninja 500 will not be higher than 35kW 48PS compared to the Race 450, while the Race 450 is currently at the top of the class with a power figure of 39kW 53PS.

The Sai 450 is also equipped with higher-level performance accessories such as Mazuqi inverted adjustable shock absorbers, aluminum alloy single wishbone, and dual floating front brake discs, as well as a number of practical configurations such as tire pressure monitoring, intelligent car networking, and TCS system. The Ninja500 is only replaced with a TFT meter that can be connected to Bluetooth, and the swingarm is still the same steel square tube that has remained unchanged for 10,000 years.

At present, domestic Kawasaki stores have begun to reduce prices to clear up the inventory of the Ninja400 in preparation for the launch of the new car, but if the guide price of the Ninja500 is 49800 yuan, compared with the official guide price of 31999 yuan of the Sai 450 and the price of 33580 yuan of the Chunfeng 450SR, it seems a bit cost-effective.

NINJA500 in terms of configuration and parameters, there is indeed no obvious progress, and the similar products of various domestic brand manufacturers, all of which have undergone a desperate involution, in terms of technology, details, as well as configuration and performance, have been rebornMore importantly, in the past two years, the quality of domestic brands has also become more stable in quality control with the pressure of the market. It is foreseeable that next year's 400-500 market will be rolled into a twist, and domestic brands will be more competitive than before.
