With the popularity of motorcycle tours in recent years, rally cars have also become extremely popular in the domestic market. However, rally vehicles in the traditional sense, that is, ADV models, are positioned as adventure vehicles. As someone who is not a frequent motorcycle traveler, Lao Wang feels that buying an ADV is not very cost-effective. With the changes in market demand, road-based SUVs suitable for motorcycle tours are also very popular. Today Lao Wang will talk to you about a "pseudo rally car", the DL250 from Haojue Suzuki. Let's take a look at it together. Entry-level rally car, 250cc twin-cylinder water-cooled, Nissin calipers, dual-channel ABS system, suitable for motorcycle tours.
Speaking of Haojue Suzuki's DL250 (also known as Suzuki V-Strom? 250), we have to mention another Suzuki GW250, known as the "magic car", which has a high reputation in the domestic market. Popularity. But the GW250 is just a street bike after all, and with the weight limit, it’s still a bit difficult to ride on a motorcycle. The Haojue Suzuki DL250 is based on the GW250 and combined with the GSX-250R engine to launch an SUV that has the appearance of a rally car but is more suitable for paved roads.
Suzuki’s classic “Big Eye 250” design
As far as appearance is concerned, the overall design of the Haojue Suzuki DL250 is still very classic, inheriting the single headlight design of the GW250, with a round shape The shaped headlights are quite distinctive. The iconic beak-like design on the front of the car can be said to be the standard feature of many rally cars now, and it was also the first to be invented by Suzuki. Viewed from the side, the body lines are smooth and tight, the design of each part of the vehicle is coordinated, and the load ratio of the front and rear tire design is just right, so it does not give people a top-heavy feeling.
In addition, this car also adds an engine protective bar design to protect engine parts. However, the disadvantage is that the headlights and turn signals still use traditional halogen light sources. Only the taillights use LED light sources. The life and brightness of the lamps still need to be improved. In addition, the volume of the original three boxes is not very large, which also adds extra weight to the vehicle. Lao Wang does suggest that if you are going on a daily or short-distance motorcycle trip, you can remove the side boxes on both sides. Only one tail box is probably enough.
Rich body configurations
As a road recreational vehicle, the Haojue Suzuki DL250 is also equipped with a small non-adjustable windshield and a hand guard design. Don't underestimate the design of these small details, they play a very critical role in comfort when cruising at high speed. In terms of other body parameters, the minimum ground clearance is only 155mm, and the vehicle's passability is average, but it is also in line with the positioning of this car. The weight of the vehicle reaches 204kg. Although the vehicle itself is on the heavy side, it is very flexible to handle.
"Neither up nor down" power system
In terms of power, Haojue Suzuki DL250 is equipped with a parallel twin-cylinder engine, using mainstream water-cooling and electronic injection fuel supply systems . Among them, the actual displacement is 248cc, the maximum power is 18.4kw/8000rpm, and the peak torque is 23.4N.m/6500rpm. Among models of the same level, the power is not outstanding, but it is sufficient. The engine's compression ratio is as high as 11.5:1, giving full play to fuel economy while ensuring power. In addition, the fuel tank size of this car is 17.3 liters, and the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 3.7 liters. The endurance is still very good.
Editor’s summary
Based on Lao Wang’s above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the Haojue Suzuki DL250 car. Now Lao Wang will take a little tour with you. To summarize. First of all, with the support of Suzuki's technology, the quality of this car is still very guaranteed. Secondly, with the GW250 as the vanguard, everyone can clearly see the quality of Haojue Suzuki. Let’s talk about the advantages again. As a road-based recreational vehicle, it is suitable for both daily transportation and long-distance motorcycle tours and travel. In addition, it has flexible control and good practicality. Finally, let’s talk about the shortcomings. The weight of the car is a flaw, so it will be fatter at the start, but it will not affect the cruising speed.
