"Four wheels carry the body, two wheels carry the soul", I don't know how many young people have been attracted to ride a motorcycle and chase their inner soul on two wheels. I was one of them, and I bought a large-displacement ADV model to satisfy my attachment to the distant place, but after countless rainstorms and scorching suns, I couldn't bear the effects of extreme weather, and I began to wonder if I was determined to pursue my passion.
In the confusion, I met the Avenue Explorer pickup, and I fell in love at first sight, and its powerful aura and hardcore appearance from the inside out instantly conquered me. Goodbye is infatuated, after the test drive experience, I immediately chose this avenue explorer, and since then, in my life, pickup trucks and motorcycles have formed a perfect fusion, they complement each other to satisfy my desire for freedom, and really fill the depths of my soul.
Strong power meets the pursuit of extreme speed, and the Avenue Explorer is leading in the same class
Every motorcycle enthusiast must have a pursuit of power and speed, and my motorcycle has a displacement of 850cc, which is the largest in the motorcycle, and the acceleration time from 000 to 100 is less than 4 seconds. Therefore, I have a high threshold for sensory stimulation caused by speed, and it is difficult for ordinary family cars or small-displacement pickup trucks to meet my driving needs.
Fortunately, my Dadao Explorer is equipped with a FEU 2.3T engine with a maximum power of 190kW and a peak torque of 450N·m. It should be noted that motorcycles generally have a high maximum speed, and it takes 5000 rpm to reach the power range, while there is a lack of power in the low speed range. However, the Avenue Explorer only needs 1000 rpm to achieve a power output of 220N·m, bringing an extremely enjoyable power experience.
Compared with the two cars, it is true that the motorcycle has a stronger sense of acceleration and pulling due to the advantage of the thrust-to-weight ratio, but the Dadao Explorer has more power in the rear section of the high-power engine, which can be described as "stepping on it", which is very suitable for high-speed cruising.
It's relatively easy to make the power stronger, but satisfying the silky linear driving experience while being strong is a great test of the gearbox matching between the gears. In addition to the pedals, there are few automatic transmissions in motorcycles, and the driver needs to pay attention to the tachometer at all times and manually shift the gears with the left foot, which greatly increases the difficulty of driving and consumes energy. The Dadao Explorer is matched with the industry-benchmark ZF 8AT gearbox for its powerful engine, and the "golden partner" together form the industry-leading power system of the Dadao Dadao Explorer.
With the blessing of ZF's 8AT gearbox, "quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit" has become the best interpretation of the avenue explorer. The power release is extremely linear during low-speed following, and the gearbox can well understand the driver's intention to move up and downshift, with almost no uncomfortable frustration, and relying on the ultra-wide speed ratio of 7.813, it can effectively reduce fuel consumption, and urban traffic jams will not lead to high fuel consumption.
But when you need to release the potential of the engine when you get rid of the turtle speed car, the gearbox can achieve rapid downshifting, and even 8th gear can be directly lowered to 4th gear, directly pulling the engine speed to the maximum power range, and indulge in the full strength of this 2.3T engine. This is difficult to achieve for motorcycles, and it is easy to slip the rear wheels due to the difference in wheel speed during the continuous downshift, but for the explorer, the continuous downshift acceleration is as smooth as flowing water, and the engine is as restless as a loose horse.
There is also a major disadvantage of the motorcycle in the process of intense driving is the engine vibration problem, due to the natural structural reasons, my twin-cylinder motorcycle will begin to vibrate significantly at 5000 rpm, that is, just to the power range, and maintaining a high speed for a long time is a great test for my wrist. However, sitting in the cockpit of the Avenue Explorer, the vibration transmitted to the seat is obviously almost zero, and the noise suppression in the high-rev range is also excellent, but for car lovers, the engine sound is not considered noise, but a clarion call to launch a charge.
The mountain road tests the strength of control, and the avenue explorer is even better
"Fast corners are really fast, and who won't step on the accelerator in a straight line." Indeed, the extreme driving in corners can better highlight the handling strength of the whole vehicle. For motorcycle enthusiasts, running up the mountain is a common riding environment, and you can fully enjoy the happiness of people-vehicle communication on the winding mountain roads, and you can indulge in the beautiful scenery between mountains and rivers.
For the Dadao Explorer, such a high-performance large pickup truck naturally has to be pulled to the mountain road to show the real handling strength. In terms of hardware, the Avenue Explorer is equipped with front double wishbone suspension and rear multi-link + watt linkage suspension, and it is also equipped with K-MAN nitrogen shock absorption and two-inch adjustable suspension height. The class-leading hardware configuration gives me confidence in the mountain control of the Dadao Explorer. For chassis control, the hardware decided to go offline, the tuning decided to go online, and the next step was to verify the tuning and matching strength of JMC pickup technicians.
What I'm going to conquer today is a continuous mountain road with a series of sharp bends and hairpin bends, and it is also an Internet celebrity mountain road that motorcycle friends are vying to check in. Here, I realized the integration of people and vehicles with the Avenue Explorer, and fully appreciated its excellent driving and control strength.
First of all, the chassis of the Dadao Explorer is extremely supportive, with the blessing of multi-link suspension is very tough in cornering, and the roll suppression is significantly better than that of the same class model, which also gives me great driving confidence to dare to carry out some more extreme operations to push the tire grip of the Dadao Dadao. When it comes to tires, the Avenue Explorer is equipped with Gupo AT tires, which provide excellent off-road strength at the same time, and the road grip is also excellent in AT tires, the width of the 285 allows the wheels to be close to the ground at all times, and there is almost no slippage after a pass, and the only few times have been quickly resolved by the excellent TCS calibration of the Avenue Explorer, giving the driver a very high fault tolerance.
Mountain road extreme driving is also a huge test for the vehicle's steering system, for the locomotive steering needs to rely on the whole body center of gravity shift to achieve turning and lane change, while the pickup truck can only rely on the steering wheel in the hand to control the direction. If there is an obvious virtual position on the steering wheel, it will greatly affect the driver's control feeling, and the Dadao Explorer has almost zero virtual position after the steering wheel is adjusted to the sport mode, and can control the direction of the road at will, so as to "point where to hit". Of course, the steering wheel can be adjusted to comfort mode during high-speed cruising, which can make the car more stable and also improve the driving tolerance rate.
The excellent steering system makes the front of the Dadao Explorer very directive, the front of the car reacts quickly after turning the steering wheel to give a command, and the rear follow-up is also very sensitive, so it will not drag mud and water to affect the speed of cornering or lane changes. You must know that the wheelbase of the Avenue Explorer has reached 3270mm, and the length of the car has reached 5535mm.
With strong power reserve and excellent driving performance, the comprehensive driving experience of the Dadao Explorer is undoubtedly the first echelon in its class. Together with the locomotive, I was able to enjoy double the pleasure of one trip. Living in a busy city, taking a whole day out to indulge in the mountains and rivers, and getting the most out of the limited time is indispensable.
Highlighting the advantages of multi-purpose attributes, the Avenue Explorer takes the lead in expanding the loading capacity
Not only on weekends, but also on holidays, self-driving tours are my first choice, but for the locomotive, the lack of loading capacity is the biggest disadvantage, even if it is equipped with three boxes, it is difficult to meet my needs. The medium and large body size of the Avenue Explorer 5535x2055x1920mm brings it a spacious interior space, which can put almost all of my belongings, and especially large items can also be placed in the cargo box, highlighting the loading advantages of the pickup truck model.
For loading, the cargo box size of the Avenue Explorer reaches 1546x1595x546mm, which is enough to fit large items such as grills, canopies, tables, chairs and benches when going out for barbecue and camping, which is difficult to achieve for ordinary SUV models. While ensuring strong power performance, it can also meet the needs of practicality, and the Avenue Explorer will give full play to the multi-purpose attributes of the pickup truck model.
Another major disadvantage of motorcycle touring is that I can't travel with family and friends, I usually don't like to take people with me when I ride a bicycle, which not only affects the handling but also increases the risk factor, so long-distance motorcycle tours are always alone. But the Avenue Explorer has a more spacious interior space in the pickup, I am 180cm tall, after the driver's seat is adjusted to a comfortable sitting position, there is still two fist space in the rear leg, and the head is a fist and two fingers, with ample riding space with moderate support and comfort, the Avenue Explorer takes 4 people on a long-distance journey without pressure.
For full-load travel, the locomotive is installed in the later stage because the three boxes are installed in the later stage, and the weight is relatively light, so the heavy load has a great impact on the control and speed, and even in the case of high speed, there may be a "death swing", which greatly affects the safety of driving. However, there is no concern about this aspect for the Dadao Explorer, whose weight reaches 2260KG, and with a strong power of 450N·m, normal loading of goods will hardly have any impact on its power output and driving stability.
In addition to the loading capacity, the multi-purpose attribute is one of the core competitiveness of the pickup, and the Dadao Explorer has infinitely amplified this advantage. This is due to the fact that the Dadao Explorer has a 3-ton towing qualification and can tow motorcycles, jet skis and even RVs. So in the future, I plan to drive the Avenue Explorer and tow the motorcycle to participate in the official operation activities of the Avenue Borderless User organized by JMC Pickup again.
Last month, I drove the Avenue Explorer to participate in an avenue without borders activity, during which the JMC pickup staff led us to experience the fun of off-road crossing, and let me meet more "like-minded people" who love pickup trucks and love the road. The Avenues Without Borders event has given me a platform to experience the strength of the Explorer's powerful products in depth and safely, allowing me to let go of myself in the beautiful outdoors and go to my deep love.
Write at the end:
I believe that most motorcycle enthusiasts have a desire to ride the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line or even enter the Tibetan uninhabited area, but they were previously limited by the endurance of the locomotive and their own physical problems and did not dare to put it into practice, with the Avenue Explorer, I can rest assured that I can plan the future pickup + locomotive trip to Tibet. And for the Avenue Explorer itself, strong power, excellent control and strong carrying and expansion capabilities fully meet my needs, back to the beginning of the four-wheel two-wheel dispute, at this moment I want to say: "The mediocre four wheels can only carry the body, and the excellent Avenue Explorer carries my body and soul." ”
