The first and second generation road tests of the domestic Iron Fist have been perfectly completed
From August 24th to August 28th, we conducted road tests for the domestic Iron Fist Generation 1 and 2 in the Chuanxi route of the high-altitude region. Chuanxi, a secret realm forged by mountains and rivers, serves as a natural testbed for motorcycle performance. From gentle river valleys to high-altitude passes over 4,000 meters, from smooth scenic highways to bumpy unpaved pasture trails, the unpredictable high-altitude climate, complex and varied three-dimensional road conditions, and extreme elevation differences create the most demanding real-world testing scenario. This comprehensive motorcycle road test across Chuanxi covered classic cycling loops, spanning urban national highways, winding mountainous roads, grassland pasture trails, and gravel-paved roads, among other diverse road conditions. Through authentic high-altitude riding experiences, the tests thoroughly evaluated the vehicle's power output, handling stability, shock absorption capability, and adaptability across all terrains. Amidst snow-capped mountains and sea of clouds, the performance of a motorcycle's core strength and ultimate adaptability was witnessed.
This road test traversed the core scenic routes and classic test sections of western Sichuan, starting from the gentle edges of the Sichuan Basin and heading west along Panda Avenue, Lixiao Road, and the S434 Scenic Highway. The route passed through forest canyons, Red Stone Beach, alpine meadows, Tibetan villages, and crossed over multiple high-altitude snow-capped mountain passes, offering direct views of iconic plateau landmarks such as Mount Yala, Mount Gongga, and Mount Qingrao. The entire test route encompassed four core scenarios: smooth paved roads, continuous winding mountain curves, unpaved gravel sections, and long-distance steep climbs. It also experienced variable weather conditions, including sunny exposure, mountain fog, sudden showers with cooling temperatures, and high-altitude winds, fully replicating real-world long-distance motorcycle travel and all-terrain riding scenarios. This ensured performance testing extended beyond data, closely aligning with practical experiences. Upon entering the heart of western Sichuan, the road conditions were primarily smooth national highways and scenic routes, with open, unobstructed paths. The rolling green mountains and babbling streams along the way formed a picturesque, flowing ink painting. On these gentle roads, the vehicle’s power advantages were perfectly showcased. The low-rev power output was smooth and abundant, enabling effortless starts without sluggishness. Urban following and provincial highway cruising were well-controlled, with linear and refined throttle tuning that allowed easy maintenance of steady speeds without frequent gear shifts, significantly reducing fatigue during long-distance rides. In high-speed cruising mode, the vehicle exhibited exceptional stability. When faced with mountain crosswinds and airflow disturbances, there was no noticeable drifting or shaking. The frame rigidity and overall balance tuning were solid, delivering a steady, substantial feel at high speeds that fully met the demands of long-distance highway riding in western Sichuan. This test focused on extreme trials of Sichuan’s complex, characteristic road conditions. Sections of Lixiao Road featured gravel stretches with uneven, pitted surfaces and scattered stones, offering the most challenging terrain for testing motorcycle suspension performance and off-road capability. During the ride, the high-end suspension system effectively filtered road bumps and vibrations, making minor surface irregularities almost imperceptible. It also cushioned impacts from large potholes and gravel, maintaining stable body posture and delivering far superior ride comfort compared to peer models. Meanwhile, the vehicle’s ground clearance adaptation was excellent, maximizing off-road capability. Shallow pits, gravel piles, and lightly uneven surfaces required no cautious deceleration, allowing effortless navigation of unpaved trails in western Sichuan. This truly achieved the dual performance of comfortable cruising on paved roads and effortless traversal of rough terrain.he advantages of lightweight body and precise handling are highlighted, with sensitive and precise steering, minimal virtual position, sufficient cornering support, stable and smooth bending posture. Coupled with a calibrated and balanced braking system, the braking is linear and the braking distance is controllable. In frequent start stop, deceleration and acceleration scenarios of continuous bends, the braking performance is stable without attenuation, and the fault tolerance is extremely high. Novice and experienced drivers can easily handle the dangerous roads in western Sichuan.
The focus of this road test is on the extreme testing of the complex road conditions in western Sichuan. The gravel section of the Li Xiao Road, the original ecological pastoral road in the mountains with uneven potholes and scattered gravel, and extremely poor flatness, are the core scenes for testing the shock absorption performance and passability of locomotives. During the driving process, the high-end shock absorption system fully filters out road bumps and vibrations, with almost no sensation of fine road vibrations. Large potholes and gravel impacts on the road can also be effectively buffered, and the body always maintains a stable posture. The ride comfort on bumpy roads far exceeds that of vehicles in the same class. At the same time, the vehicle has excellent ground clearance adaptability, with full passability. When facing shallow pits, gravel piles, and mild uneven roads, there is no need to slow down and travel cautiously, making it easy to cope with unpaved road conditions in western Sichuan. It truly achieves the comprehensive performance of comfortable cruising on paved roads and smooth crossing on rough roads. With two wheels, TEKKEN is not only a means of transportation, but also the beginning of traveling to distant places.
