I am the Cavalry Mansion, welcome to follow!
This year's spring and summer season, Motoromolini released the second new model in China: Seiemmezzo 6 1/2. This car has two versions, namely the Street Edition (SCR Edition) and the Climb Edition (STR Edition), with prices of RMB 42,800 and RMB 44,800 respectively.
First take the real car picture of STR street version and SCR climbing version of Sevenzo first, let’s talk about the appearance design
!
Italy is a powerful country in the motorcycle industry and a world-renowned art country. In terms of aesthetic design, Italians are born with artistic cells. Sevento is a high-value motorcycle that fully reflects the Italian design talent. From a fuel tank full of muscle lines to a minimalist design body, from a straight waistline to a round headlight, Motoromolini's designer perfectly combines retro style with the sports style of modern motorcycles. The exterior design of the whole vehicle is coordinated and simple but not out of the ordinary, with artistic aesthetic value. I personally appreciate the appearance of this car.
Industrial product appearance design also requires deep aesthetic cultivation. This cultivation usually starts with the influence of childhood. You can have time to go to art museums and art museums for frequent training after class, rather than rushing to each other to cultivate your strengths, so that you can thrive in the ocean of art. In this regard, European countries generally must be ahead of the country. Fortunately, we have also been correcting things in recent years. This is another topic.
In addition, whether the cultural atmosphere and atmosphere are strong is also a key reason.
"Centenary Molini, Chunfeng engine", this is a joke that many domestic netizens complained about the two motorcycles (X-CAPE and Sevenzo) launched in China. That's right, Sevenzo is also equipped with the water-cooled parallel twin-cylinder 650cc displacement engine made by Chunfeng.
Since claiming to be a historically wealthy brand in the European car world, why do Motoro Molini choose engines made of pure domestic brands?
There should be many netizens who have such questions, it will not be the same as the Borgward in the automotive industry, right? Only one brand left and then go to China to make money? It is normal for
to have such questions, after all, there is a lesson in the past - Borgward has gone bankrupt.
It should be noted that first of all, Motoromolini has been operating and producing in Italy. It has physical factories and personnel. There is no doubt that when it acquired Motoromolini a few years ago, the local government of Motoromolini in Italy also asked China to make relevant commitments to protect the brand before agreeing to complete the acquisition. As for why Motoromolini is so famous, it is because the Motoromolini brand has no intersection with the development of the domestic motorcycle industry, and is only limited to the European market, which has led to Motoromolini's popularity in China.
But in fact, Motoromolini is very famous in the European market, and its several large-displacement models are frequent visitors to several professional motorcycle magazines in Europe.
Motoromolini chose this water-cooled twin-cylinder engine made by Chunfeng. In my opinion, there are only two reasons.
First, Motorola Molini really doesn’t have such a "small" displacement engine. Don’t believe it, this is the fact.
The reason is actually very simple. Only large-displacement motorcycles have the characteristics of high added value and high profits, and can support local European factories. The same is true for Motor Molini. For example, the Molini Milano 1200, which is now sold in the European market, is priced at 15,000 euros, which is more expensive than the Ducati of the same level, but Motor Molini really does not have a small displacement engine.
Think carefully about BMW , Ducati, Apulia , Japanese and other major brands, why have they transferred small and medium-sized and medium-sized medium- and low-end models to domestic or India, Southeast Asian countries for production? Are you inspired?
Second, the apocalypse of fuel vehicles is coming soon. Various car manufacturers will face the problem of long recovery time for R&D costs and high returns and risks, so they are generally unwilling to increase their investment in R&D development. Looking back at the launch of new engines in various European and Japanese brands in recent years, does it feel that there are obviously much less?
Please think about why big brands such as Harley , Augusta and other options have all used domestic engines.
OK. I spent a lot of time explaining why Motoro Molini chose Chunfeng to make this engine. It's time to talk about this engine. Strictly speaking, this engine of
is a customized version of the Spring Breeze 650 engine of Motorolyni. To be precise, it is produced by Chunfeng according to the technical standards set by Motorolyni. The bottle is an old bottle, and the wine is not the original wine. The performance, operating quality, durability and other indicators of
engine are often determined by the hardware part and post-tuning.
This engine customized by Motoro Molini is not bad, although it has been a few years ago, the hardware part is not bad, water-cooled parallel twin-cylinder eight-valve, DOHCh gas distribution mechanism, and its mechanical structure is no different from the current mainstream engines, and its foundation is not bad.
In fact, since the 1980s and 1990s, the mainstream structure of motorcycle engines in the world has not changed much. The main changes are the addition of electronic control systems, including the matching of fuel injection systems and engine speed, combustion control, the matching of each sensor under different practical conditions (such as ambient temperature, altitude, air humidity), etc.
tuning is the soul of the engine. Good tuning will turn decay into magical effects. The engine tuning of Sevenzo and X-CAPE is very good. It was adapted and adjusted by the Italian team of Moto Morini and the German Bosch BOSCH electronic injection team. The differences in operating quality and power characteristics of the two cars will be described in detail in the subsequent articles.
Many people will ask, what is adjustment? Invisible and intangible, it is completely a fool of Xiaobai's metaphysics. Is it okay to talk about something useful?
is good! Less nonsense, just go directly to the topic. This is another topic - How far is China's motorcycle manufacturing from the world's top level?
is a pity, I think it is all-round, and that's what I think.
is the backwardness of electronically controlled systems (including engine electronic injection system), which is most obvious. Especially after motorcycles entered the era of electronic injection, the gap between us and the world's top manufacturing is getting bigger and bigger. After all, in the era of carburetor , there are not so many electronic control systems.
Take the incident of a certain domestic brand of ECU driving while driving some time ago, which is very telling. The matching between the engine ECU and the engine operating conditions is an extremely fine technical task, involving a large amount of data collection to simulate the use of the engine under various operating conditions. There is no shortcut to this process, so you can only do it step by step.
Under normal circumstances, the current electronic injection system of domestic cars, , can cope with most daily use situations, but in specific environments, such as high temperature, humidity, cold, plateau, etc., the ECU may be stunned in this environment because it does not reserve corresponding data.
basic scenario should be like this -
engine: I said, buddy, why are you still timid? Give it oil now!
ECU: How to give it to the method? Boom boom boom boom or buzz? I have no data!
Engine: You stupid, you don’t even know how I know? No matter what, give it oil!
ECU: Can't serve, let's go on strike!
Let’s talk about the gap in the body electronic control system. At present, several cars in China are equipped with TCS systems. However, this TCS is still a very basic and original anti-slip electronic monitoring system. The more vivid metaphor is the fool-like principle. After the sensor detects the rear wheel slip, it sends a signal to the computer. After the computer calculates, the engine oil-breaking protection is protected to limit the power output to the rear wheel to aggravate the tendency of slipping. This process is simple and crude, either left or right. However, during the actual use process, the road conditions are ever-changing and complicated, and simple oil-breaking protection cannot provide the most appropriate protection.
The real TCS should be like Ducati Street Fighter. Multiple modes correspond to the multi-level segmentation of TCS. In the case of slippery roads on rainy days, TCS can greatly intervene to ensure safety. In the case of good road conditions, the degree of TCS intervention is much lighter, so as to maximize the rider's experience of driving pleasure.
However, even with this basic electronic control system, domestic manufacturers have not yet fully understood it. The fool-style calculation logic is simple and crude.
Others, such as electronic suspension, electronic fast-discharge systems, etc., have also a large amount of data to be collected for adaptive matching, constantly trial and error adjustment, and finally find the most reasonable way.
Having said so much, do you still think that the engine training matching is a gimmick?
Others such as the setting of the whole vehicle's riding triangle, road feedback, suspension and braking tuning, the distribution of the whole vehicle's centroid, lightweight design, material selection and use, ergonomic applications, etc., are all major issues and require extremely deep technical reserves to solve. The design and development of a car is the process of constantly discovering problems and solving problems. Why are international brands of large-displacement motorcycles better than domestic products? The knowledge here is the mastery of core technologies.
Motoro Molini's Sevenzo and X-CAPE do use domestic ready-made engines, but in terms of soul training, it is the Italian Motoro Molini team and the well-known electronic component manufacturer in the industry, and work together to match the ECU with the engine.
Regarding the two versions of Sevenzo, I have already tested the car. In the next article, I will continue to talk about the test drive experience of these two cars. Friends are welcome to follow my updates.
