– Dalam paten yang baru didaftarkan, CFMoto merancang sistem yang menggunakan kamera hadapan untuk mengimbas jalanan.
– Imej yang dirakam diproses oleh komputer untuk menyesuaikan suspensi secara automatik.
– Konsep ini terinspirasi oleh kemajuan dalam industri automotif, terutamanya penggunaan kamera dalam sistem pengimbasan jalan oleh Mercedes.
– Pada motosikal, sistem penyeselan semi-aktif biasanya menggunakan sensor dalam suspensi, tetapi CFMoto mengusulkan pendekatan berbeza dengan menggunakan kamera.
– Paten ini menggambarkan sistem suspensi aktif pada model utama 1250 TR-G CFMoto, yang banyak digunakan oleh pihak berkuasa di pasaran China.
– Walaupun model ini sekarang dilengkapi dengan suspensi dari Marzocchi, paten terkini menunjukkan kecenderungan CFMoto untuk mengintegrasikan sistem suspensi yang aktif.
– Sistem ini menggunakan kamera untuk “membaca” permukaan jalan, membolehkan penyesuaian pada penghadam depan dan belakang berdasarkan maklumat yang diterima.
– Meskipun paten menunjukkan teknologi ini pada model 1250 TR-G, kemungkinan konsep serupa boleh diaplikasikan pada model CFMoto lain.
CFMoto is pushing the boundaries of motorcycle technology with its pursuit of an advanced electronically adjustable semi-active suspension system. This innovation, outlined in a recently disclosed patent application filed in 2022, envisions a cutting-edge setup that employs a front-facing camera to scan the road ahead. The captured images are then processed by a computer, which rapidly interprets the data and dynamically adjusts the suspension, pre-empting bumps and optimising the riding experience.
This concept mirrors advancements seen in the automotive industry, with Mercedes pioneering camera-based road-scanning systems like “Magic Body Control” and “Road Surface Scan” a decade ago. The idea of preemptive road-sensing technology dates back to the 1980s when Nissan introduced a sonar-based adaptive suspension utilising ultrasonic sensors.
In the realm of motorcycles, current semi-active suspension systems typically rely on stroke sensors within the suspension itself. These sensors monitor the suspension movements’ distance and speed, feeding data to a computer that adjusts damper settings in real-time. CFMoto’s patent marks a departure from this norm, introducing a camera-based approach to read the road surface.
The patent showcases this active suspension system in CFMoto’s 1250 TR-G, a flagship model primarily utilised by law enforcement in the British market. This motorcycle, with its BMW-inspired design, conceals a 1,279cc V-twin engine developed in collaboration with KTM. CFMoto and KTM have a joint venture, allowing CFMoto to incorporate KTM’s engine designs into various models, including the 1250 TR-G.
The current iteration of the 1250 TR-G, produced since 2020 and just recently introduced in the Malaysian market, boasts a host of technological features, including a substantial 12.3-inch TFT instrument panel, keyless start, tyre-pressure monitoring, built-in navigation, and a radar system. Despite initially being equipped with non-active Marzocchi parts, the latest patent indicates CFMoto’s inclination towards incorporating active suspension, potentially elevating the bike’s performance further.
The patent details a shock absorber control system incorporating a camera to capture road surface information, enabling adjustments to the front and rear shock absorbers’ damping based on the transmitted data. The document delves into the technical aspects of damping adjustment, featuring adjustable valves in the fork and an actuator in the rear shock that alters oil pressure and volume in response to road conditions.
While the patent showcases this technology on the 1250 TR-G, there’s potential for its integration into other CFMoto models, including those available in the UK, opening up new possibilities for enhanced riding experiences across the brand’s lineup.
CFMoto Malaysia telah mengejutkan pasaran Malaysia dengan pengenalan grand tourer dengan harga yang boleh dikatakan sebagai paling berpatutan.
CFMoto 1250TR-G, yang kelihatan seperti saudara kepada BMW RT generasi lama, dijual pada harga hanya RM88,888.
Ia dikuasakan oleh enjin V-Twin 1,279cc yang menghasilkan 140hp@8500rpm dan 120Nm pada 7000rpm.
Menariknya, enjin ini dibangunkan bersama KTM dan merupakan motosikal berkapasiti tertinggi dan paling berkuasa di China.
Enjin ini memberikan motosikal ini kelajuan maksimum 220km/j.
Ia juga mempunyai teknologi seperti cruise control dan paparan panel instrumen TFT multimedia (MMI) 12.3-inci.
Ini juga dilengkapi dengan pautan bluetooth, membolehkan anda memainkan muzik kegemaran anda melalui speaker JBL.
Terdapat juga sistem pencahayaan LED penuh, lampu siang, dan skrin yang boleh diadjust secara elektronik. Sistem pemantauan tekanan tayar melengkapkan kelengkapan teknologi.
Dari segi prestasi, selain hasil kuasa yang mengagumkan, terdapat tiga mod pemanduan – Sport, Comfort, dan Rain. Dan juga ada quickshifter yang disediakan sebagai kelengkapan standard.
Tugas suspensi diuruskan oleh suspension Marzocchi yang dikatakan lebih dari cukup untuk menguruskan berat sebanyak 300kg.
Sistem brek disediakan oleh dua cakera berukuran 320mm di bahagian hadapan dan satu cakera berukuran 270mm di bahagian belakang, digenggam oleh caliper Brembo yang dilengkapi dengan keupayaan ABS.
CFMoto Malaysia mengatakan bahawa 1250TR-G telah menjalani ujian lokal selama 50,000km untuk memastikan motosikal berfungsi dengan baik dalam semua keadaan Malaysia.
CFMoto 1250TR-G akan tersedia di semua pengedar yang sah minggu depan dengan pilihan dua warna. Ia juga dilengkapi dengan jaminan kilometer tak terhad selama dua tahun.
CFMoto Malaysia has started the year by shocking the industry with the introduction of the most affordable grand tourer in the Malaysian market.
The CFMoto 1250TR-G which looks like its the sibling of the previous-generation BMW RT, is priced at just RM88,888.
It’s a shocking price for a bike that looks this good and exudes luxury and good looks in almost any angle.
It is powered by a 1,279cc V-Twin engine that makes 140hp@8500rpm and 120Nm at 7000rpm, which is plenty for highway cruising. Interestingly, this engine was co-developed by KTM and is the largest-capacity and most powerful motorcycle in China.
The engine provides the bike with a top speed of 220km/h.
It also boasts some decent tech such as cruise control and a 12.3-inch TFT multi media interface (MMI) instrument panel. This also comes with bluetooth connectivity so you can playback your favourite music through the standard JBL speakers.
There’s also full LED lighting system, daytime running lights, and an electronically adjustable wind screen. A tyre pressure monitoring system rounds off the tech equipment.
In terms of performance, besides the impressive power output, there’s three riding modes – Sport, Comfort and Rain. And helping to put down power is a quickshifter that is provided as standard equipment.
Suspension duties is managed by Marzocchi shocks and absorbers which are said to be more than good to manage the bike’s 300kg kerb weight.
