RX4 is here. I mean, there.

Some things I noted:

150/70/17 rear
110/80/19 front
ABS
Radial mounted front caliper
I really like the headlight/side wings/adjusable windscreen
Just one radiator? And the filling cap seems located on top for easier access
Weird exhaust routing, and weird that it seems a 1:2:1:2 (note the split below the engine and then the dual exit...)

It looks like an oversized Cyclone RX3 with some very nice upgrades. The only upgrade I'm not wild about is the exhaust system. 1 into 2 into 1 into 2. Must be a fashion statement. I really like the front dual disc brakes with radial mounting, the adjustable windshield and the improved fender coverage.

The Chinese spokes person had a very nice presentation. Especially like his handheld video camera.
Joe Berk could take some lessons from this guy!
When, or if, do you think CSC will be offering this bike model?

The main one being the 43hp, 450cc engine, let's not forget about that!

I'd say rest of the world availability would be mid/end 2018

I think this bike could sell really well in the states. Just have to be a decent price. Anyone know what it might cost? $6000 I think would be a great price.

That is now coming quite common now that EURO 4 has come in..
the idea is to split the exhaust charge so theres not one big cat..
it's easyer to have 2 smaller cats 1 in each muffler..
also one of the reasons the big singles are on there way out..
too much exhaust gas to deal with at one time when there is limited room
on a bike for the cat... With a twin the exhaust charges are smaller and
easyer to deal with... Is the main driving force behind all the new twin cyclinder
ADV bikes that are starting to show up....
It could also be the end of some after market exhaust companys as there is a few euro
countrys that are making the cat part of the yearly inspection... So why spend money on a exhaust
if it still has to have a cat to pass the inspection....

Also it looks like the japs are going to stop making the smaller scooters as the componts
needed to make them EURO4 compliant make them to exspensive & rob some
of the what little power they already have... Honda are making noises of cutting
everything from 100cc down..

Me neither fellow Juanro :hmm:; but I´ve found the original information webpage here, having plenty of pics and text:

The most important aspects depicted there (from my POV):

• That bike isn´t a production model (however, should be pretty simmilar to this one)
• The frame is very simmilar to the RX3's one, but has more free space (perhaps to allow for a twin cylinder or bigger displacement engine in the future)
• Delphi EFI system
• Front brake ABS system equipped with a double floating disc and two pairs of four radiant calipers
• Front shock absorber adjustable in fork
• 110/80R19 front wheel, 150/70R17 rear
• Lamps: LED (all of them)
• Headlight: adaptative with light sensor (?)

I wonder how accurate the gauges will be on this model.

:hmm:

RX4......Busted!!!
 

Ooohhhh... Mr. Berk....the cat is starting to get out of the hat!!!
Hopefully we will be seeing more of this fabulous ADV Bike in the future and get your opinion on it!......I mean since you have seen it already....he, he, he!

:tup:

you stole my words... RX3 cluster sucks big time in accuracy...:tdown:

Why not just have one pipe per exhaust port? Then you have the added advantage of making people think it's a twin cylinder bike and people won't scratch their head bald looking at the exhaust system. I know it's a dirty trick but it seems like something the Chinese would do to 'upsell' their product.

Hi, Biker Andy!
I have seen that solution made by the japanese on a model you probably know: the GN 250. It showed two pipes coming out of the exaust valves and then became into one before the muffler. Back then I tought it was a two cilinders bike...he,he,he!
Could not be more wrong!

Yamaha XT660R & XT660X have a complete exhaust system
for each exhaust port.... with a link pipe between them...
just a couple of the meany....

Honda XR have been doing it since
1979... pipe for each exhaust port into a single muffer...

Nothing new just fyi
