The shape emphasizes the muscle feel of the car, and the differentiated appearance design is unforgettable.
In addition, the wide body body and the KPT400 use the ultimate adjustable windshield, the design angle and width are relatively suitable, bringing a good wind choke effect, which is very important for long-distance riding, which can reduce the impact of airflow on the driver and reduce fatigue.
electrical configuration
lighting, KPT400 uses a full-vehicle LED light source. Due to the use of a square head design, it has a wider headlight shape and a matrix headlight composed of three lenses. The original headlight lighting effect is very good. In addition, the rear taillight design is also very user-friendly. The traditional taillight group placed under the tail seat cushion was moved to the rear bracket by Lifan designers. The warning effect of the taillight group will not be affected by three boxes, making driving safer.

The overall adjustment level of the ABS system is relatively high, the intervention timing is controlled in place, and the feedback movements are gentle.
power performance
0 Under the two-day test drive experience, the good power performance of KPT400 is the focus of my attention. In addition to the maximum power of 31.5kw/9500rpm and the maximum torque of 35N.m/7500rpm, the book data of 35N.m/7500rpm is better than other models in the same class, the sensitive accelerator adjustment also makes the car's output rapid and low-torque performance better. This type of engine also emphasizes the broadness of the output, and can also obtain good power output after accelerating under high speed conditions.
As a relaxing vehicle model, it is more important to engine noise and vibration control. Under actual experience, the vibration and noise suppression of the KPT400 twin-cylinder model are very good, suitable for long-distance riding. In addition, with the support of a larger exhaust echo chamber, the sound waves are strong.

Under actual riding tests, the average fuel consumption of the car is about 3.2L per 100 kilometers, and the range can easily reach more than 500 kilometers. Long-distance motorcycle brigades are enough.
