What's the story
Chinese automaker QJ Motor will unveil its SRV500 Custom motorcycle soon. Its arrival in India seems unclear.
As for the highlights, the two-wheeler based on the SRV500 Street Cruiser shall bear an imposing look and offer alloy wheels and a circular headlamp.
It will draw power from a 500cc, parallel-twin engine that puts out a maximum power of 48hp.
Context
Why does this story matter?
The QJ SRV500 Custom is tipped to be a stylish vehicle with great performance. In the global markets, it should attract a lot of buyers and rival the Honda Rebel 500.
The two-wheeler's arrival here seems unlikely. However, it might be introduced on our shores as a Benelli model and will surely raise the competition in the 500cc segment.
Design
The bike will have a single-piece seat and weigh 199kg
The QJ SRV500 Custom will have a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a stepped-up single-piece seat, forward-set footpegs, and a round headlight.
The bike should pack a digital instrument console and an all-LED setup for lighting and ride on alloy wheels.
It will tip the scales at 199kg. Meanwhile, its fuel storage capacity will be disclosed later.
Information
It will run on a 48hp, 500cc engine
The QJ SRV500 Custom will be fueled by a 500cc, parallel-twin engine sourced from Benelli's 502 range. The mill puts out a maximum power of 48hp and a peak torque of 46Nm.
Safety
It will get a rear mono-shock unit
To ensure the safety of the rider, the QJ SRV500 Custom should be equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS for better handling on the roads.
Suspension duties on the motorcycle will be taken care of by telescopic forks on the front side and a mono-shock unit on the rear end.
