凯越500X (Excelle 500X ??)
never heard about such brand before. they released ADV bike based on Loncin's 500cc twin engine. there's version with 19"/17" spoke wheels and those are designed for tubeless (!!!) tires. also KYB suspension is claimed. 198 kg wet weight. and all this just for 38k RMB... well, Chinese market is getting more and more interesting.

Tubless spokes wheels.
I am impressed.
Re: another competitor in Chinese 500cc ADV market
shameless design you mean because it is too obviously GS-like looking?
personally, I would give it a go. I even do like it's design - definitely looks narrower, lighter and more fit, than MG500.
but I am happy owner of two JH600 already. although, I would like to try this "Excelle".

The producer "Zhufeng" is not a well-known brand even in China, let the market to test the bike.
Re: another competitor in Chinese 500cc ADV market
ok, so what about new 850 and 750 GS models? I heard about recalls because of problems with new engine... which is produced by Loncin :confused1:

178KG unladden is not too bad. 30 less than a Benelli TRK if I remember correctly.
