Yes, you read it right. This is another article about Haojue DR300, and the price is still not officially announced. According to the countdown on Haojue's homepage, the official press conference may be held on June 16. The news of Haojue DR300 has been on and off for several years. It is the most "difficult to produce" domestic motorcycle, but foreign media prefer to call it GSX-300.
According to foreign media speculation Haojue DR300, it is possible to enter the global market with SUZUKI GSX-S300 in the future! Haojue DR300 can still see the shadow of some Suzuki GSX-S family from the appearance design. With the blessing of Suzuki technology, it is understandable to learn from some excellent designs.
The engine part adopts 298cc displacement water-cooled double cylinder, the maximum horsepower is 29.2PS@8,500rpm, the maximum torque is 27.8Nm@6,500rpm. Previously, the maximum horsepower of the GW250 was 24.5Ps, so the rumors that this engine is a GW250 cylinder expander is likely to be true.
The chassis adopts KYB inverted front fork, 7-stage preload adjustable central rear shock; brake system, front wheel uses 290mm single disc with NISSIN dual-piston calipers, rear brake is 240m single disc is equipped with NISSIN single-piston calipers, and the front and rear wheels are equipped with BOSCH dual-channel ABS system. It adopts a monochromatic LED instrument panel, and the entire vehicle light source is designed with LED. This configuration has achieved the mainstream level of the same-level models.
Although Haojue DR300 bears the domestic name, the overall structure is almost composed of Japanese brand parts, including: Temperature sensor: Denso, tilt Sensor: Asahi Denso, Spark Plug: NGK, Fuel Hose: Sano, BubbleGuide: Hitachi, Timing Chain: Japan BorgWarner, Crankshaft Bearing: Japan Daido, Catalyst: Mitsui Chemicals, Catalyst Carrier: Nippon Steel, ECU/ Pressure sensor: Mitsubishi Electric, and other parts.
Therefore, DR300 does have a great chance to become Suzuki’s twin model; whether Suzuki will use DR300 as the basis in the future, and the development of GSX-R300 is indeed very exciting. Even if the subsequent Suzuki GSX-S300 is really born, it will use China as its main production base and then export to the world!
