Gladiator X450
Chinese quads nowadays technique of
catching up on their Japanese and American models, but at the same time
maintain a low price on the Czech market even clear lead in sales.
Under the brand Journeyman Gladiator on
our market sell quad giant Chinese group CF Moto, who besides quads (ATVs) and
scooters in recent years and begins to flirt with big motorcycles.
Like cars and an ATV slowly beginning to
show trends of downsizing, therefore, is the successor to last year's cheapest
pint of the same brand today Gladiator X450 cou čtyřstovkou equipped with
electronic injection.
The new unit was created simply by
shortening the stroke of five hundred of the higher model and the resulting
value of stroke volume is even a 400 cm³. The result is a lively and likable
torque motor which, although at low revs forces took not much, but after
dialing with it pretty fun. After opening at full capacity with 32 horses and
that's normal on-road use on the road is enough.
Heats and maneuvering are new variator
without starting clutch simple, less torque is essentially just know when you
want to enjoy a visit to the slope or if you need to pluck the rear wheels to
drift and turn striking shear.
At the permeability of the ground or
escape from the mud, however, it has enough forces X450. Just click on the left
handlebar connect wheel drive, and if necessary even lock the differential and
gladiator keep its name and will overcome any terrain. Limit is a tire tread.
And where run out of power, it is still in an ambush serially mounted electric
winch with controls on the right handlebar.
At work, X450 is cool enough, but
if you care about a decent entertainment or hauling wood, after all need to
consider more robust X550. That is in addition to higher krouťáku even stronger
chassis and more suited for riding with a passenger.
A very big part of the current sales
success of the series can be attributed Gladiator líbivému design. Aggressive
forms of the headlamps in combination with intricately shaped grille and front
bumper tube just look attractive. And what we will talk, appealing sporty sold.
What does it matter that this work is
not particularly practical, or that the rudder hidden in the corners of the
headlamps are part of the ever seen. Ancestor simply a success and looks like a
machine, two groups higher price categories, particularly in the attractive
orange color and with additional alloy wheels. However, on a test ride, we
pulled prefer basic black version with ordinary discs, which are after all only
less visible scratches.
Gladiator X450 also boasts a range of
the latest hi-tech novelties such as two USB connectors to connect a mobile
phone charger or navigation, electrical outlet or a separate gear lever lock.
On the other hand, some ideas are maybe a little cramped, and at the expense of
resistance, it must be true for the combined rear light that is tilting and
underneath there is a small storage space.
Instrumentation equipment here
represents a small display with onboard computer, where you can find everything
you need. The controls are classic, just on the left handlebar will vainly
groping after a brake lever, X450 has only the front brake on the right handle
and combined brake pedal. While the brakes are disc front wheels, accompanied
by one central disc on the rear cardan.
X450 is generally slightly smaller than
that of the usual half-liter category. Unfortunately, it is also about as heavy as mugs and
all the toppings, the balance swings over 350 kg. But the important thing is
the total value, is the main center of gravity height and it's pretty low.
Gladiator is thanks to this handy and in my opinion, a surcharge of 15 thousand
for steering rather pay only extended versions for driving in two.
This model is a surcharge of ten
thousand others can be ordered in a version of the X450, with a wheelbase
extended by 20 mm and honest two-digit saddle. For X450 in base pay less than a
hundred thousand of VAT because it is about buying "the company".
Working quads they are really versatile workhorses and the tax office can be
easily justified as a working tool.
