Zongshen Cyclone RC401 and RX401

The Chinese motorcycle manufacturer will soon launch the two 400cc models Cyclone RC401 and RX401. It is not unlikely that they will be released in Europe as well.

Zongshen is one of China’s leading motorcycle manufacturers, founded in 1992 and working closely with Suzuki. The Cyclone brand belongs to Zongshen and aims to produce high quality models for the domestic but also for the foreign market, this includes the two models RC401 and RX401.

 

Cyclone RC401

The two models are powered by a liquid-cooled parallel-twin that produces 45 PS. The RC401 is given a sporty look and is equipped with matching 17-inch cast wheels. A dual-channel ABS is present and dual brake discs have been mounted at the front. There is also an aluminum swingarm. The weight is said to be 178 kg. The front is damped by an upside-down fork. The monoshock should be adjustable in spring preload.

 

Cyclone RX401

The RX401 is an adventure bike equipped with the same engine. Here, too, the power is 45 PS. The spoked wheels are 19 inches (front) and 17 inches (rear). Here, too, there are dual-channel ABS and two brake discs at the front, although here the dimensions are slightly smaller. The upside-down fork comes from KYB.
