Cycloron has recently attracted a wave of attention due to the color scheme of the racing-like RC3S. It has recently released the highly cost-effective fourth-generation RX1 model RX1S MAX. Personally, I think it can be regarded as the most cost-effective model in its class. Since the launch of the first-generation RX1 in 2016, it was upgraded to RX1S in 2019, and now a new upgraded model RX1S MAX has been launched. This upgrade is also the largest upgrade since its introduction. It can be said that "the sparrow is small, but it has all the five internal organs of and " It's no exaggeration to describe it. So what are the upgrades of the new RX1S MAX? Let’s take a look.

Six major upgrades, more powerful

The newly upgraded RX1S MAX is equipped with the PY250, a water-cooled engine with an actual displacement of 249cc, with a maximum power of 18kW, about 24.5 horsepower, and a maximum torque of 21Nm. Compared with the old model, the power is significantly improved. The overall vibration suppression, heat dissipation, fuel consumption, etc. have been further optimized. The same fuel consumption is exchanged for greater power. There is no problem with a 14L fuel tank to reach 400km of driving range. Compared with the old model, the upgrade of the engine is also a personal feeling. The most powerful part of this upgrade.

At the same time, this new RX1S MAX comes standard with a sliding clutch, and the clutch friction plates are imported from Japan. The addition of a slipping clutch will significantly improve the overall driving experience, and for novices, it can effectively avoid the frustration of the oil clutch during gear shifting. At the same time, the exhaust pipe has also been upgraded to a full-section stainless steel center-mounted muffler design, which has made up for the not-so-pleasant sound of the original single-cylinder. The sound of the new and old models has been significantly improved when idling, and it feels richer.

The chain has also been upgraded. The current model comes standard with a 520 oil-sealed chain. For recreational vehicles, when you occasionally take a bad road, play in a mud puddle, etc., the oil-sealed chain can be cleaned and maintained conveniently and simply.

In terms of tire specifications, the rear wheels are upgraded to 130/70-17 specifications compared to the current model. After the upgrade, they have better grip and stability. In addition, the original three boxes have also been updated. The trunk volume is 34L, and the side boxes on both sides are 24L. The trunk also comes with a small backrest. In appearance, it does not have as many plastic parts as the old model, so the style is more hard-core. , at the same time, the sealing of the three boxes has also been improved, and compartments are provided inside to more effectively protect helmets and other items from being bumped during riding. You can still feel the manufacturer's intentions.

In addition, other configurations such as dual-channel ABS, dual-line throttle, and multi-link mid-mounted shock absorption have been continued. The seat height is 785mm, so a rider around 175cm tall can put all his feet on the ground, and a rider taller than 165cm tall can drive easily, and the cost of getting started is relatively low.

However, I personally feel that for a model that is positioned as a recreational vehicle, the new RX1S MAX windshield is a bit small. For this type of model, a large windshield will be better for riding comfort during long-distance riding.

A short riding experience

In terms of riding experience, the new RX1S MAX has well inherited the flexibility and lightness of the current model, and is even easier to control than the original. The shortened wheelbase of the new model also contributes to this. As for the engine upgrade, although the peak speed of maximum power and torque has increased, vibration suppression has been better controlled. The power output of the new PY250 engine is also relatively linear in the range of 3000-7000. The addition of the sliding clutch greatly improves the overall riding comfort, and the difficulty of getting started is reduced a lot, making it easy for novices to control. Under the action of the multi-link mid-mounted shock absorber and the inverted front suspension with 190mm of travel, the filtering of ordinary potholes is relatively straightforward and can be done in one go. However, I don’t know if the adjustment of RX1S MAX takes daily riding comfort into consideration. The adjustment of the front shock absorber is a bit soft and the support is somewhat insufficient. But overall, I feel that for a model of this price range, It's pretty good.

Summary at the end

Let’s make a final summary. The overall upgrade of the new 2022 Sycoron RX1S MAX is quite good, but the halogen headlights and small windshield are a small fly in the ointment, but it will not be a big problem if modified later. . After major upgrades, the price of RX1S MAX has also been "upgraded". I personally feel that the travel version is more cost-effective at 19,980 yuan. Compared with the standard version of 16,980 yuan, it comes with an additional set of aluminum three-box with original stainless steel brackets. Compared with other brands of models, it is already a rare choice. In addition, in addition to the anti-theft function, the optional third-generation OBD vehicle system can also be remotely upgraded to maintain the vehicle's optimal operating condition.

Overall, the new RX1S MAX still has a good price/performance ratio among models in the same class and price range. Compared with the five CB190X and the new CBF190X with similar prices, it has an overwhelming advantage in configuration and performance. Compared with the Benelli TRK 251 (no three boxes), RX1S MAX also has the advantage of the original factory configuration with three boxes. Some riders may consider Wuji’s 300DS, a three-box version priced at 23,600 yuan, which is a full 3,620 yuan more than the RX1S MAX, as well as the extra consumption tax and insurance premiums for 250cc displacement and above, which undoubtedly greatly increases the purchase cost. If you have more commuting needs and occasionally want to experience the fun of short- and medium-distance riding in your free time, the new RX1S MAX is a model worth buying.
