Racer Trophy RC110N - the evolution of the Chinese Alpha-type moped

Buying a motorcycle for many is a dream come true, but someone just needs an economical and inexpensive vehicle to operate. In the Soviet Union, anyone could buy a moped, especially since rights were not needed. Now times have changed, and even to drive a scooter with a displacement of up to 50 cm3, a driver's license is required.


In the light of the new traffic rules, there is no longer much point in low-power mopeds, so China is actively supplying equipment to Russia, but with larger engines, usually from 80 to 110 cm3. Today we will tell you about a bright representative of modern mopeds from China - Racer Trophy RC110N.

To find fault, the technique refers to light motorcycles - the engine size and characteristics are obligatory. But in fact, this is a typical Chinese Alpha-type moped, only as stylish as possible.



The classic appearance of the Racer Trophy RC110N is not due to the fact that the manufacturer is not able to make a modern motorcycle. The Chinese can assemble anything - up to liter sportbikes from the best alloys. It will just cost a lot, and no one will buy.

Let's talk about price right away. Even now, when the dollar and euro rates have "taken off", the moped is offered from 70 to 85 thousand rubles. Why such a big gap? Maybe someone is selling old stocks, or just put a high markup - a bike is being bought for foreign currency.
Racer Trophy RC110N is the most budget two-wheeled vehicle. The moped looks quite attractive for its price category.

Appearance

Unlike many other Chinese-made models, the Racer Trophy RC110N has a recognizable look. The technique is more like a light motorcycle. In the appearance of the Racer, even some sports notes are guessed, for which young people love this model.

But the thin tubular frame and the general fragility of the design of the device outwardly hint at the fact that large adult men should not travel together. The moped will pull them - the power of the 110 cc engine is enough for this, but the Racer Trophy RC110N itself will not withstand this. Yes, and the frame steel is typically Chinese - “plasticine”.



Despite the fragility of the design, engineers from the Celestial Empire should be praised - the model turned out to be excellent for its price category. But when buying, one should not forget that the bike was created on the principle of maximum reduction in price, so the moped should be operated carefully.

When buying a new Racer Trophy RC110N, it is mandatory to check all threaded connections. Most likely something will have to be tightened. Only with a moment you should not be zealous - if the newly-minted owner of the "Chinese" is used to Soviet technology - you can rip off the threads and edges on the bolts, which are made of raw, that is, unhardened steel.

But spare parts for Chinese models are inexpensive. For example, an improved moped engine with a displacement of 125 cm3, which will give the technique agility, can be bought for only 20 rubles. And these are the new prices, after the dollar jump! As for the details on the motor, they are generally cheap and usually available.

TTX models

Racer Trophy RC110N does not shine with modern technical characteristics. Thanks also for the fact that the Chinese equipped it with a 110-cc engine and sell it at the price of "fifty kopecks". But the simpler - the more reliable! For most buyers of such equipment, cheapness is important - due to this, Chinese mopeds in Russia disperse in large quantities.



You can compare the Racer Trophy RC110N with the Soviet "Minsk", only the "Chinese" is four-stroke and not as powerful as the two-stroke legend from the USSR.



The moped has a four-stroke air-cooled engine. The working volume is laid down in the name - 110 cm3. Power - 7 liters. With. The cylinder is single-cylinder with two valves. The maximum speed that the manufacturer put into his device is 80 km / h. But it depends on the weight of the driver - some accelerated equipment up to a hundred.

But it is not recommended to drive at maximum speed on the Racer Trophy RC110N - the vibrations are too strong, and the engine will run at high speeds, which will not benefit it.

The moped has a four-speed gearbox - this is enough for it, given the operation in rural areas.
The brake system of the drum type on a motorcycle on all wheels. For bad roads and low speed, this is more of a plus. Moreover, the dry weight of the bike is 82 kg. - there are enough drums.



Even a teenager or a fragile girl can handle such a light moped. According to the manufacturer, the equipment is capable of carrying 150 kg. But for tall drivers, driving a bike will be crowded - the Chinese ancestry affects.

Suspensions front and rear are simple. In theory, they should be rigid - especially for bad roads, but they are too soft and under the weight of only one driver from 80 kg. break through on every bump. It is better to immediately pour high-quality oil into the fork, and it does not hurt to replace the paired shock absorbers with reinforced ones.

As for the dashboard, the Racer Trophy RC110N has a motorcycle dashboard with two separate “wells” of instruments.
The Chinese stubbornly write in the technical documentation that the volume of the moped's fuel tank is 6 liters. In fact, there are more likely 9, at least 8 fit and there is still room left.

Fuel consumption is low - it ranges from 2 to 2,5 liters per 100 kilometers. Not so little for such a cubic capacity, but do not forget that the carburetor power system.

Advantages and disadvantages of the model

The main advantage of the Racer Trophy RC110N is the cost. For such money, it is difficult to find something in a cubic capacity of more than 50 cm3 - and here it is 110. And this is a branded moped with an official manufacturer's warranty that works. Yes, Chinese bikes are branded too!

The moped is the simplest in design and easy to repair with a simple set of tools. With minimal skills, it can be done under the porch or in the field. Even if the owner has never repaired equipment of this kind, with the help of videos on the Internet, it is easy to understand the design of the Racer Trophy.



Parts are cheap and fit from other Chinese models. Everything is available in Russian stores, if you want to save money, you can order directly from China.

The Racer Trophy RC110N can be filled with any gasoline - even AI-80, if you can find it, of course. On the AI-92, the engine will work without problems, as well as on the 95th.

A moped is suitable for poor quality roads, but you should not expect from it a margin of safety for iron on a level with the Soviet motor industry. Chinese steel is often referred to as "rice" or "plasticine".

The disadvantages can be listed:

• ? Low power brakes
  
• ? Quick-burning muffler and falling off decorative trim
  
• ? Fragile plastic
  
• ? Weak welds
  

If after buying a moped there is no desire to periodically stretch the threads, then it is better to immediately put everything on the latch. You can at the same time change the fasteners for something red-hot.



So is the Racer Trophy RC110N worth buying? See what it's for. For leisurely trips in the countryside or even in the city to work - it will do. The operating costs of this model will be lower than the cost of public transport.

If you need a fast bike, it is better to pick up something more serious from a different price category.
