Wolf, I think you meant 15". Looks like the tire says 130/90-15.

Yeah that's why I posted that pic, it clearly says 130/90/15

Thanks for posting the photo, Wolfie.
![]() If you look at the writing on the bottom of the tire, you will see it's a 15-inch wheel. ![]()

Here's a nice walk-around video of the RX3. It's edifying to watch, even if you can't speak Russian.

The more I look at that bike, the more I like it. That said, I think I'd elminate the close fenders. Those are troublesome on the TW200.

I appreciated that video. I've never really focused on the exoskeleton before, and I quite like it; I think it's a good idea.
I wonder if the holes under the motor are intended for a center stand.

I bet that the rear half of a conventional fender could be mounted to the lower triple to prevent mud build-up.

Here's another interesting, walk-around video of the RX3, in Russian.

Quite frankly, I wouldn't bother. I'd want maximum ground clearance on a bike like this.

Here's some Chinese advertising for the Zongshen RX3. Apparently, the bike can lift the front wheel and do 'stoppies.'

I recently noticed the RX3 has steel braided, brake lines.

At the 5:52 mark on the video, I didn't see any grease zerks on the lower shock linkage. I wonder if the bike employs bushings, or bearings in the linkage?

You can really hear the rev limiter kick in in the upper RPM range. Too bad about that whole Tower of Babel thing. I'd really like to understand that guy.
