Mr. Qi Anwei announced that Xiangshuai Cangyun 500/Traveler 800 will be officially launched nationwide from May 1st.
Cangyun 500 parameter configuration:
Traveler 800 parameter configuration:
Let’s take a look at the car. In addition to the appearance of Cangyun 500, it is also very similar to CM500 in settings. Cangyun 500 The seat height of is 698mm, and the curb weight of is 195kg, which is slightly higher than the 690mm and 191kg of CM500. However, the parameters of the front fork angle and caster angle of these two cars are consistent. From the perspective of curb weight and riding triangle , the driving experience of the two cars is probably very different.
Not to mention the engine, Loncin reversely developed the Honda 's KE500 engine, which is infinitely similar to the Honda 500cc engine in terms of parameters and running quality. The maximum power is 35kw/8500rpm, and the maximum torque of is 3n/700rpm. It is standard. Slip clutch.
In terms of braking and shock absorption, the accessories used by Cangyun 500 also come from domestic first-line supporting factories. The shock absorption is provided by Yu'an. The front non-adjustable 41mm upright shock absorption, the stroke 130mm, the rear dual gun airbag rear damper, shock absorption support Preload is adjustable.
brakes use calipers from Hangte. The front 300mm floating disc is matched with opposing four-piston calipers, the rear 260mm brake disc , and dual-channel ABS is standard. It is worth mentioning that Cangyun 500 has put a lot of effort into car accessories, such as RK chains, Panasonic fans, forged connecting plates, etc. These things are relatively comparable to 500cc or models worth around 30,000 yuan. Common, but rare together.
In addition, Cangyun 500 also provides 7 colors for you to choose from. This may be the cruise car with the most colorful colors among domestic brands.
After talking about Cangyun, let’s look at the Traveler. The Traveler 800 is obviously prepared for gliding enthusiasts. It is also unique in China. Except for Xiangshuai, no other domestic company makes this style of car. .
In terms of engine, Traveler is equipped with a V-shaped water-cooled engine with a displacement of 800cc. The maximum power can reach 45kw/7000rpm, the maximum torque is 72nm/550Orpm, and it comes standard with a sliding clutch. The engine supplier is from Gaojin Power. In terms of quality, Don't worry.
In terms of the frame, Traveler uses a one-piece aluminum alloy cast middle body and front + forged split frame structure, which can distribute the pressure resistance more evenly and ensure the stability of the body under various road conditions.
In other configurations, this car is very similar to the domestically produced Grand Glide...
In fact, I don’t have much to say about these two cars. Everyone knows that these are domestic imitations of Japanese and American models. , their biggest advantage is their cheap price. If you insist on saying how good these cars are, it is obviously unscientific. The public's evaluation of these two cars is even more mixed.
Some people think that this thing is garbage and is not suitable for dogs to ride.
Some people think this car is really nice. Thank you Xiangshuai for making my dream come true.
What these two groups of people said is actually right, but both sides cannot understand the other's position.Those who criticize Xiangshuai mostly hope that domestic products can become stronger and no longer take pride in plagiarism, but start from another higher dimension and use their own designs and excellent assembly techniques to win glory for the country.
It is a pity that Xiangshuai has not grown into a strong enterprise and cannot immediately realize everyone's expectations.
The copycats in our eyes have actually changed from 10 years ago to today. Ten years ago, they just copied the shell and fooled consumers into selling it, without any after-sales or guarantee. Today's "shanzhai" is more of a supplement, for specific consumers to realize their wishes.
For example, today's Cangyun 500 and Traveler 800, these cars only provide a relatively reliable choice for consumers who like CM and gliding styles, fulfilling everyone's dream.
I am not defending plagiarism. I once had a very tough attitude towards copycat copycats. The most classic example is Hengjian Daidao and copycat Dafei Shuang. Before this car was released, I was very disdainful. I don’t understand why this car is so blatantly copied, and I don’t understand what problems this car’s two oversized fuel tanks can solve.
Until I met an old car enthusiast who likes this kind of car. The reason why he admires Haidao is very simple, because he knows that he will never be able to afford a Africa Double, so he wants to buy a Max model while he can afford it. A motorcycle with a limit close to that of Africa, fulfilling your dream.
This incident sounds funny at first, but there is some sadness behind the story.
High imitation motorcycles are different from high imitation luxury goods. They are fundamentally different. High imitation luxury goods are more about pleasing/deceiving others and pursuing a kind of psychological vanity.
As for a motorcycle as a productivity tool, or a highly recognizable toy, no matter how you imitate it, it will only look similar in the end. If you look closely, not only will everyone know what you are buying, but you will also know what you are buying. What is pursued here is not so much vanity as appreciation of appearance design.
But as the old saying goes, what is false cannot be true, and what is true cannot be false. This sentence is particularly prominent on motorcycles. If Xiangshuai wants to go a long way, it must go through two important stages. First, the public can accept its style, and second, its quality can become better and better in line with the public's expectations for consumption. Only in this way can it be good. Causes produce good results, otherwise it would just be the result of bad fate.
