Cyclone RX6

Zongshen officially unveiled its latest model, the Cyclone RX6, the company first motorcycle powered by the Norton 650cc parallel-twin engine.

The RX6 was first sighted in 2019 as a concept before the Chinese manufacturer pulled the wraps at Shanghai Motor Show this week.

The overall look of the RX6 clearly defined an adventure motorcycle, and at a glance, it does bear a resemblance to the previous Yamaha MT-07 Tracer.

According to reports, the RX6 is powered by the Norton 650cc parallel-twin that produces around 70hp and is the same power plant found in yet-to-be-released Norton Altas.

Zongshen also includes a host of the latest electronics, including a full-colour TFT display, adjustable windscreen and keyless ignition.

The bike also features exciting specifications, including:

  • 21L tank
  • Nissin brake callipers
  • Kayaba suspension
  • ABS
  • Pirelli tires

However, the Cyclone RX6 sits on the heavier side as the bike is quoted at 245kg.

Despite no confirmation, we can assume the motorcycle will be made available in Malaysia soon!

Belum sempat berita penjualan Norton Motorcycles ke TVS Motor Company bertukar suam, kini timbul laporan bahawa Zongshen bakal melancarkan motosikal baharu menggunakan enjin 650cc V4 milik jenama Britain itu.

Pada 2017, Norton telah pun memeterai Perjanjian Lesen dan Rekaan 20 tahun bagi enjin 650cc V4 serba baharu.

Enjin baharu itu dibangunkan sendiri Norton dan direka khas bagi menepati ciri ditetapkan Zongshen di samping mematuhi piawaian Euro 4.

Menurut kenyataan rasmi dari Norton pada 2017, enjin itu akan diguna pakai jenama Zongshen atau Cyclone.

Tahun lalu, Zongshen memperkenalkan dua model ADV konsep menerusi Cyclone RX6 dan RK6 dan kini timbul paten baharu memaparkan model ADV yang akan dipasarkan pada 2021.

Difahamkan, rekaan model tersebut turut dibantu syarikat rekaan Itali, Ricardo. – NewMotor.com
