The Benda Liao 700, which was launched at the Xi'an Motor Expo last year, touched the hearts of countless people, but for various reasons, many of the first batch of car owners who ordered cars only got the car this year. Recently, the owner of the first Liao 700 in Wuhan appeared. The editor was also very honored to experience the charm of the domestic four-cylinder cruise. Without further ado, we will get to the point.
has a perfect appearance and a giant
Liao 700's appearance design is no different from the exhibition car exhibited at that time. This is indeed very rare. After all, we have seen too many cases of "mass-produced Luo Yufeng". Secondly, the Liao 700 is very large in size, with a length of 2.43 meters and a wheelbase of 1.72 meters. This size has exceeded the Ducati Devil and Triumph Rockets 3R, so it will be more difficult to get started with the first impression it gives.
Because of the layout of the inline four-cylinder engine, the Liao 700's is wider than most cruising models. In addition, the 310mm ultra-wide rear tire and the thick swingarm have a strong visual impact, especially from the rear perspective, it is very domineering. Because of its huge body, Liao 700 uses a thick aluminum alloy frame to ensure strength while minimizing weight. The style of
Liao 700 is obviously different from the traditional American cruise. It has a slightly sci-fi appearance and a more sporty contour lines. Its positioning is closer to the sports cruise like Ducati Devil, and it is reflected in some configurations and details.
details configuration
front design continues the original concept car, and it really takes a lot of determination to be able to keep it. The original headlight position was actually an air intake decorated in the style of turbine engine . In order not to make it look so simple, the owner installed an ambient light inside. The effect after lighting it is amazing. The actual headlight is actually above. The design of the
front turn signal is quite clever. The integration of the inside of the trim panels on both sides will not destroy the integrity of the car body. Moreover, it can also be used as a day running light when the turn signal is not lit.
Many people may think that the air intake on the front of the car is fake. In fact, from this angle, you can see the filter cover at the air intake behind the front of the car. Although it is not directly connected to the front of the car, it can still play a role in rushing intake during high-speed cruise. The design of the taillights of
is relatively simple. The shape of the single-shaped LED light is inlaid into the outline of the short tail, which is also the most common taillight layout method for many short tail design models, which is simple without losing the overall feel of the vehicle.
full color TFT instrument adopts reverse installation and has functions such as automatic backlight switching, mobile phone screen projection navigation, etc. The internal UI design is relatively simple, and the data display is also very intuitive. The functionality is in line with the current mainstream standards.
backlit handle buttons are currently popular modules on domestic models. Although they are not high-end, they cannot be said to be bad. Both the left and right Niu Kettle provide an adjustable angle function, and the original rearview mirror was modified by the car owner to be plug-in, and tire pressure monitoring was also added to it.
The huge size naturally requires a strong brake system, so the high-end version of Liao 700 is equipped with a side-pushing pump of Brembo, which is even better if it is replaced with direct push.
The huge fuel tank makes the Liao 700 look extremely strong, and the 20-liter fuel tank capacity can also ensure sufficient battery life, allowing it to show the riding charm of heavy cruise during long-distance driving.
The wide integrated seat cushion is an effective guarantee for the comfort of the Liao 700. The thickness and support of the seat cushion are very good. The concave design can also provide some support. Compared with the comfort brought by the seat cushion of traditional models, it is naturally outstanding.
This Liao 700 is a high-power version, so it is equipped with Brembo M4.32 front and rear brake calipers. The front brake specifications are radial four pistons, and the rear brake specifications are opposite dual pistons. The dual-channel ABS anti-lock function is standard.
front and rear shock absorption are provided by KYB. The inverted front shock absorption both have adjustment functions on the left and right, and the center rear shock absorption also supports adjustment functions.The low-end models use domestic shock absorption, and the price difference of 1,000 yuan is exchanged for a Brembo and a KYB. All fools know how to choose.
In fact, if Liao 700 drives the DID chain and replaces it with a belt, the size will be higher, but the cost will naturally increase. In addition, the rocker fender has a good effect, but it covers the wide rear tire. If modified, the visual effect will be very good.
The huge rear tire is the most eye-catching configuration on the Liao 700. This width makes both the Ducati Devil and the Triumph Rockets 3R out of reach. The tires of the front 130/70-19 and the rear 310/35 R18 are provided by Shanchi. Because the rear is too slim, there may be an embarrassment of not being convenient to replace in the later stage.
four-cylinder engine
In fact, everyone knows that the 680cc inline four-cylinder water-cooled engine equipped with Liao 700 is a reverse development of the Honda CB650. However, the displacement has been increased from 649cc to 680cc. The maximum power of the high-end version is 69kW/11000rpm, the maximum torque of the 63Nm/8500rpm, the power of the low-end version is 6kw and the torque is 3Nm. A peer tested its 000 acceleration in more than 5 seconds, and this result was not eye-catching. Compared with its size and heavy weight, it is here. The reliability and durability of this engine cannot be judged yet, but one thing is worthy of recognition, because it was developed in reverse with the Honda , so the four-cylinder engine of the Benda Liao 700 also has a very classic "whistle". Although I don't know if Benda has learned the essence, it can gain a lot of favor based on the whistle alone.
In addition, the parallel four-chamber muffler claimed by the manufacturer actually has only one air outlet. It is not difficult to see from the picture that the only air outlet has been yellowed less than 1,000 kilometers. The owner said that the other three air outlets can be opened by themselves, but the exhaust sound will become more explosive.
test drive experience
First of all, let’s show the seat height . The seat height data of Liao 700 is 695mm, but the wide seat cushion does not increase the requirements for leg length. The author is 173cm tall and his feet are covered with no pressure. It is also worth mentioning that although Liao 700 has 235kg, it is not as heavy as expected when pushed.
The wide 310 rear tire is destined to limit the sports performance of the Liao 700. Because the tire is too wide, it is a little hard to tilt left and right. When cornering at high speed, it presses to the opposite lane several times. Also, because of the wheelbase of up to 1.72 meters, the Liao 700 is destined to have better flexibility. This big guy is not suitable for bending up the mountain.
But there is a gain if you want, because the huge size makes Liao 700 as stable as an old dog when riding at high speed, and the huge tire width also provides great grip. You can give the accelerator as you like, and you don’t have to worry about this thing going up. Thanks to the inline four-cylinder engine, the power output of the Liao 700 is smooth and linear, but it is inevitable to bake legs in this weather, especially the position of the right ankle and calf, and it is highly recommended not to ride in shorts.
Brembo family bucket looks very practical on Liao 700. After all, such a big guy doesn’t have a strong brake, so there is no way to give people a sense of security. I personally think the brake feels linear. The brake force will not feel like the wall hitting of European cars, nor will it be insufficient due to weak brakes.
According to the owner's riding feedback of nearly 1,000 kilometers, the front and rear wheels of the Liao 700 have obvious mud throwing. The front fender is too short, causing mud to occasionally throw mud onto the helmet, and the rear wheels are too wide and inevitably thrown onto the back. Therefore, the car owner installed a tail bag to fender, and there was no solution in front. The front pedals equipped by the original factory lack comfort, and the owner also replaced them with modified parts with larger area.
car owner said that the Liao 700 car was originally planned to buy and try it, but if it doesn’t work, it will be sold! As a result, the car exceeded its expectations, so I decided to keep the car. After riding for more than a thousand kilometers, he did not encounter any problems, and he was also very satisfied with the overall performance. He thought it was worth it to get such a car at a price of less than 50,000.
summary report
Liao 700 is a subversive model in domestic cruise. Whether it is style design or appearance, it has reached an unprecedented height. Moreover, this is a four-cylinder model, and it is not easy for the 700cc level to control the price within 50,000. Based on this short ride, the overall performance of the Liao 700 is satisfactory, especially the four-cylinder sound wave is impressive. If you want a large-size cruise with a huge return rate, the Liao 700 is a good choice.
