It appears that CSC will be offering both the 380 cc twin and the 450cc single. Right now they have the ones that are going to be used for EPA/DOT certification. If you look at the specs you'll see that the 450 single is about 50 lbs heavier than the 380 twin, which is about 15 lbs heavier than our RX3. Both of the new bikes have a 5.2 gallon tank and dual disc brakes in the front. I would expect the big single to have lots of torque for better off road performance and the twin to be smoother running. The single has 40 hp vs the 24 of our RX3 so it's almost twice the power.

As an aside, I wonder what the tariff war is going to do to Zong pricing in the US. That might also affect our spare parts pricing.
