At the 2024 Beijing International Motor Show, the Benda booth was surrounded by a group of BMW executives. The models we watched are the newly released Liao 700Pro and other new cars on the booth. Let’s also see why the new Benda car allows these executives to observe it carefully.
The newly released Liao 700Pro is exactly the same as the old model, and it still has super high recognition. But it has hidden mystery, and foldable electro-optic wings are hidden on both sides of the fuel tank.
When it unfolds slowly, it can definitely become the focus of the surrounding riders, and the special effects are directly filled.
In terms of practicality, this electro-optical wing spotlight can also provide a larger irradiation area, which can escort riding at night. The most important thing is that this is the original factory configuration and can not be illegally modified.
Liao 700Pro has also been upgraded in configuration, equipped with Yunchi dual-cavity airbag for shock absorption, so that the seat height can be adjusted from 650 to 730mm to adapt to knights of different heights, and it can also adjust the hardness to cope with different road conditions, thus providing a comfortable driving experience. The front shock absorption is KYB adjustable inverted shock absorption, and this KYB front shock absorption performance is also excellent in the previous test drive.
The power is still the 680cc inline four-cylinder engine, with the maximum power of 69kW/11000rpm and the maximum torque of 63 N m/8500 rpm. The combination of this four-cylinder engine and the cruise car can give you a different driving experience. This engine is an early four-cylinder model in China. After the market test in recent years and the optimization of Benda, its performance and stability have been improved to some extent.
The kerb quality remains at 235kg. You should know that Liao 700pro has increased airbag shock absorption and electro-optic wing spotlights. According to common sense, the weight should increase, but the kerb quality remains the same, which means that Benda must have lightened other parts. The most likely part to lose weight should be its all-aluminum integrated die-casting frame.
The front Brembo straight-bolt caliper with double floating discs and the rear Brembo single-piston caliper with single disc are used for braking. This braking system can handle 235kg curb weight and this power. At the same time, dual-channel ABS is also standard, but unexpectedly TCS did not see it.
Motorcycle intelligent system is the follow-up trend. Liao 700Pro is also equipped with BCD intelligent car networking system, through which the detailed information of vehicles can be mastered, and the man-machine interaction function can be realized through the brand-new TFT instrument.
Judging from the power unit and vehicle configuration of Liao 700pro, it is more suitable for long-distance straight-line attack, and the fierce curve is not its home. However, compared with the old 310mm rear wheel width, the Pro version of the 300mm rear wheel can improve some control flexibility. Although the flexibility has been improved, don’t expect too much. The most suitable gameplay for him is comfortable straight-line cruising. With the four-cylinder high-speed output and the front stamping air intake, straight-line oil supply will become a very cool thing.
In addition to the brand-new Liao 700Pro, Benda also unveiled the infinitely variable speed Jinjila 550CVT ACE. I think Benda’s vehicle shape design is once again at the forefront of domestic counterparts.
Headlights are designed with circular hollowing out, which not only retains the retro charm, but also takes into account the elements of modern fashion.
The most important thing is the power system, which has no clutch on the left handlebar. According to the field data of Benda, this CVT technology originated from Benda Gong’s patent to upgrade all-terrain vehicles. The application scope covers the power platform of 250 to 600cc. Simply speaking, this CVT has the characteristics of high efficiency, long life and quieter. After being combined with a motorcycle, it can greatly reduce the difficulty of control, and novices can ride with peace of mind, and they are no longer afraid to start and kill the car.
Napoleon 250, which was released not long ago, is also the focus of riders’ attention. With the suggested retail price of 18,380 yuan, it is still very attractive to have such a cruise car with high value and high recognition.
The overall appearance adopts BOBBER style design, and the original mechanical sense is very strong, and the round headlights at the front are the finishing touch.
The shock absorption of Napoleon 250 is unique. The front suspension is composed of conventional shock absorption plus multi-link structure and external spring. Let’s not talk about the shock absorption effect of this set, because we haven’t tried it. But in terms of appearance, it is still very attractive.
The design of the rear suspension is also brilliant. From a distance, it is a classic hard-tail structure. From a close look, it combines the characteristics of soft tail. With the multi-link damping structure, the rear reduction stroke can be increased, thus improving comfort and stability. When I get the test drive, I must experience this brand-new form of shock absorption and share it with you.
Although Benda is not a first-line brand in the domestic market, we can see their efforts and innovations along the way. In terms of the design of the cruise car, it can be said that it is the first-class level in China, otherwise it will not be carefully observed by BMW executives. I hope Benda will make persistent efforts to build a better motorcycle for motorcycle friends.
