X-Pect the Unexpected

culcune · 12-07-2020, 08:16 PM

Not sure if we will get this one, but a 250, USD forks and a rear disc brake! According to the specs, this one will be 20 hp and 6 gears with 21/18 wheels! I X-Pect this one will be just as nice as the 200... http://www.lifanmotos.net/product/yy...11-24/129.html

I go to the Lifan home site every so often to see if they have anything interesting, so wanted to link the X-Pect 200 it to the member's post to show him what them model number is called. Well, this beauty was pictured next to the X-Pect 200, so figured all of us would be interested since it is also an X-Pect, and 'improves' what many people's complaints were about the 200--standard forks, rear drum, etc.

Let's cross our fingers. Maybe we should contact American Lifan??

Very nice specs.

Always pleased to see another good China bike on the market. Let's hope it comes to the US market.

Looks like a good one although i saw 15 hp in the specs and 20 whatevers torque? It would be nice if it did indeed start with 20hp ?

The 15 was kw...about 20.1hp

I know that motor is very similar to ours but the balance shaft is in the way of the frame of the hawk (and I assume the Tbr7), but... It sure would be nice if someone made up some adapter mounts to make putting them in our bikes a little easier.

I'm getting jealous already with that 20hp!

I'm much more interested in the torque. 20.5 nM = 15.12 ft. lbs.

Not bad at all in a bike that light.

Hmmmmm....I think this just moved up to the "number 1 spot" on my list!
