The last copy of china that has transcended recently is the Moxiao 500RR and it will go on sale in a few weeks, this time a Ducati Panigale has been the target of cloning.
The strategy is the same as always with these products, offering to the local market (very large) traced models of prestigious brands. In the case of motorcycles, displacement and prices are reduced, offering the image of a motorcycle whose sale value exceeds the copy by five or six times.
Although the monkey dresses in silk …
Today's pretender to the throne, Moxiao 500RR, equipped with the Loncin KE500 engine, a 471cc twin-shaft eight valve that in turn, It is also a copy of the 500cc engine of the Honda CB. Other brands such as Voguue or Macbor regularly mount this engine that delivers 48 hp at 8,500 rpm, which is actually very far from the Ducati that it emulates, which figures its maximum power at 157 hp, nothing to do with it.
Declaring a maximum speed of 165 Km / h with a 0-100 acceleration of 6.1 seconds compared to 300 Km / h and the time of 2.8 seconds in acceleration of the authentic Panigale 959. This Moxiao 500RR it stays quite far from the benefits and the super sporty image with which she is dressing so happily.
It cannot be denied that at some point it surprises us, as with its wide tires 120mm at the front and 190mm at the rear to project that "fat" motorcycle image. Interesting is the inverted fork and the 320mm double disc brake with radial calipers that also has a dual channel ABS.
Another point of surprise is the rear suspension from which they have copied very well the presence and function of the lateral shock absorber together with the connecting rods and the single-sided swingarm to leave nothing to the imagination. even the protective cap and the shock absorber spring are the same as the Italian one.
At the aesthetic level in addition to the color, the fibers are identical to those of Ducati including typography of the letters used on the fairing. The led headlights are difficult to differentiate due to their resemblance, the indicators are also integrated in the mirrors and so we could be for a while.
The Ducati Panigale 959, which it imitates, is a powerful superbike with an exquisite cycle part, cared for down to the last detail, something very difficult to match and very easy to spot as you get closer to the Moxiao 500RR for details.
This Moxiao 500RR can only be purchased in China, since its export would suffer the consequences of plagiarizing the design patents of the Borgo Panigale factory. The price in its country of origin is 35,000 yuan, which at the current exchange rate is 4,500 euros.
