QJ Motor SRC 500

Monday, 18 November 2024 04:34 PM The QJ Motor SRC 500 delivers a respectable fuel economy, making it a viable option for those who prioritize mileage. In my testing, the bike returned around 34.8 kmpl, which is commendable given its 480cc engine. This fuel efficiency, combined with its 15.5-litre fuel tank, translates to a range of approximately 540 km on a single tank. This is particularly useful for long-distance riders who need a reliable and fuel-efficient motorcycle. The engines performance is optimized for cruising, and it builds power smoothly above 2,500 rpm, which helps in maintaining good fuel economy even at higher speeds. ABOUT The QJ Motor SRC 500 is a middleweight, retro-styled motorcycle designed for laid-back riding. It features a 480cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with two valves and a single overhead camshaft, producing 25.5 hp and 36 Nm of torque. The bike is linked to a five-speed gearbox and has a comfortable riding position with a flattish handlebar and well-placed footpegs. The suspension setup, while comfortable at highway speeds, feels firm at slower speeds and can be improved with added weight or faster riding. The bike weighs 205 kg and has a seat height of 800 mm, making it accessible but slightly wide for shorter riders. The SRC 500 also comes with a digital twin-pod display, alloy wheels, and a single-piece seat with a dual-tone cover. Despite its appealing design and enjoyable engine performance, the bike lacks in terms of features and has some quality and handling issues that need to be addressed.
