Shineray X2 250cc watercooled twincam 6speed
-
This is probably a result of their MX team riding Hondas.
-
Possibly. According to the factory they're going to try and get away from user other company's products and using their own in house developed technology.
If the X2 is a sign of things to come from Shineray I say bring it on! It does look like a really great bike. Although I haven't riden one yet. I did have a video of one on the test track before. I'll have a look and see if I can track it down.

I want the engine in my current bike, but I don't think it'll happen. I want the company to use this engine to build something along the lines of the old AX-1 or slap two of um side by side and make a killer 500
-
Do you have an idea of the local price for this one?
-
techincally it won't be ready forsale until June. I'll ask the factoy and get back to you.
-
I was told this model will be for export only and that means not forsale in China. Sorry Brice, you should just get the XY200GY-7 (my bike) with the aircool SOHC 250cc engine.

Not a big surprise. Apollo and other dirt bikes manufacturers have the same byzantine export only policy. TIC

That 250 have 2 or 4 valves?

Does China have any displacement laws regulation license, registration, use on specific roads, tax, etc?
We see high tech motorcycle engines because many markets (Europe, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, etc.) have displacement laws, and the manufacturers have to get all the performance they can out of a certain engine size. Also, most motorcycle racing is classified by displacement.
High tech engines are cool; I love 'em. However, as somebody that lives in a place without any significant displacement laws and as a guy who never races, I'd rather have the power of a DOHC four valve liquid cooled 250cc delivered by a ~400cc air cooled OHV engine. It would be lighter, cheaper to produce, no larger, have far fewer parts and would be easier & cheaper to maintain.
Best,
PJ

China does have displacement regulations and even has some regulations banning motorcycles from some cities. I believe they stick with the smaller displacement bikes for export reasons.

According to internet rumors that have in no way been confirmed by the factor:scooter:y this bike should have a street price of around $2000 USD.

For a Chinese bike, it looks bad a@*! That photo of the bike suspended in pieces reminded me alot of the "Bodyworld" exhibit I just saw a few weeks ago in L.A. $2k would be a great price, but I think that is more a wholesale price in the US. Any rumors of the price for the X1 dual sport?
-
The X2 could probably stand to use a better carb. The AX1 carb was much more robust than what's on there currently. I can't help but think it would render more horses.
Either way, if they only put this engine in a motor-X type bike they're totally missing the boat.

Im really intrested in this bike and am wondering if anyone knows yet when it might be avalible to buy in the UK and if anyone has any idea of a cost yet
:confused1:
-
Pinchers,
Unfortunately there hasn't been too much Shineray news on here recently. This engine created a bunch of buzz but I have no idea what happened with the follow through!
The UK should be getting some other 250's soon, even if not the DOHC 4v version.

Hi all,
The X2 has just beeb released to market in China continent. Compared with prototype, its power goes up to 21KW, very close to AX-1, I believe with simple modification, it will reach 25KW without difficulty; the inverted forks 48mm and PDS type shock made by FASTACE (much better than that in prototype); the workmanship improved too. Probably this is the best MX bike you can buy in China at present. The only problem is the weight, 115KG is too heavy in its class.

Today I was in Chendgu bike parts market (thanks Carl) I saw these bikes then do a quick ride on them.
Far more higher and powerful than the QingQi200GY. Impressive bike very dirt oriented, high seat, large handlebar, immediate power. I found the fork hard and the rear suspension soft but they can be both fully tune.
The guy sells them 14000RMB or 2048USD. Seen also some Galaxy FTR 250 that I already ride few months ago. The Galaxy is far lower and smaller.
Don't mind about the HONDA decals on the pics. Using famous brands in a kind of homage for the Chinese.
If Carl wants to open a subscription on this forum to buy one for me, I won't protest...:naughty:

Nice you found the place okay and happened to have your camera with you!!! :icon10: It's great to see one of these bikes somewhere besides in a convention center or factory test track... it makes it more of a "real" product.
Would be nice to have that engine for travel but too bad it doesn't have a rack! :deal:

I saw one of those yesterday, Shineray 250cc in white, exactly same as in your shot, minus Honda decals. It was having an oil change, this bike must be available, as there are some pretty hardcore dirt bike riders in my area. I have to say I like it.

An enduro version (street legal) is on it's way.

Shineray 250 x
Hi guys! I dont know if you notice that there engine of the new 250 mx from Shineray is the same of the CPI 250 enduro bike.Compare them and you will see! This bike is a excellent example how fast and big the chineese are coming with the dirt bikes!I am very happy to see this coming!I think they will not be any problem to shineray to get EPA approval if they use the same CPI motor unit.Well check and compare them and let me know!
-
Taiwan CPI actually gets engines from Yin Gang (YG) who spent years to develop the 1st China DOHC 250 water-cooled engine, basically this is an exact Honda copy with wide gear ratio. This engine is OK but the power was lowered down to maintain high durability.
Mainly for X2 MXer project, Shineray built-up their own production line, and improved YG 250. Finally X2 engine fully built by Shineray, the overall performance is better than YG 250. Higher power and closer gear ratio give rider more MX feel.

If you can. give some links for this engine, I want to have a look at details.
