[#Wittels-]

The Chinese brand will appear in the coming days this pair of trail and sports

The Zongshen premium brand will reveal its two new motorcycles on March 30. A trail and a sports that will share a 400 cc twin-cylinder engine

A few months ago we talked to you in this article about Zongshen's plans to create a new sports car for its domestic market. This first prototype presented in China comes from the hand of Cyclone, Zongshen's premium brand and baptized as RC3S. Although for now it maintains its policy of not bringing its products to Europe, everything suggests that Cyclone could arrive sooner or later with models like the ones we bring you.

Remember that Zongshen is currently one of the leading brands of the Asian giant, and like QJ Motor, or Colove, it has parallel brands with those that matter to the old continent. Presumably Zongshen will do the same in the future with its Cyclone brand. For now they bring two new novelties in the form of trail and sports with the same shared propeller.

If nothing fails, it will be this coming March 30 when they are officially presented, for now we have obtained some images through the Moto.it colleagues as a sketch, although as far as the sports car is concerned, we do not think it will differ much its appearance to that of the Cyclone RC3S that we have told you about. In this way, the new RC401, with a sporty cut, and the RX401, in this case a light trail bike, would land. Both would be equipped with the brand's 400 cc parallel twin and liquid cooling.

The final result will be about 45 CV of power, achieving in the case of the RC401 reaching a maximum speed of the order of 170 km/h, somewhat less in the trail variant. As for the cycle part or components, the RC401 would come equipped with 17-inch wheels and double disc on the front, as well as a two-channel ABS system, inverted front fork and a central rear monoshock absorber. The chassis in this case would be made of steel, combined with a rear aluminum swingarm. With all this, the weight deposited would be of the order of 178 kilos. strong very light

The track, for its part, would be made up of a tubular steel chassis and an aluminum swingarm. In this case, the multi-spoke series wheels, with 19” at the front and 17” at the rear, both shod with mixed tubeless-type tires. Two brake discs would be anchored to them on the front axle and an inverted fork would take care of the suspension. A dual-channel ABS system would help keep this lightweight trailhead in check.

As for the equipment of the latter, according to the photographs that have been leaked, it would be composed of an adjustable front dome, seat in two heights, side protection bars, rack rack or a complete set of three suitcases made of aluminum. We assume that several of these components could come as optional. High equipment seems to be his hallmark.

In any case, we will continue to be attentive to the news that may come from Zongshen, and if the brand will decide in the coming months to share all its news with the European continent, thus expanding the wide range that we enjoy, where brands such as CFMoto or Benelli, owned by QJMotor, or VOGE itself, already offer us a huge number of models in each and every one of the segments where they participate.
