QJ is a Chinese motorcycle brand. Yes, motorcycles made in China. And QJ Motor, to situate us, belongs to the powerful Geely industrial group. The Geely name may not tell you much, but if we talk about Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, Link
And in the case of QJ, a brand whose distribution in Spain is the responsibility of the Bordoy Group, it can boast of offering an attractive and solid product, manufactured with the latest technology and with good after-sales service in Spain. And a serious and responsible after-sales service, offered by a group with extensive experience in our market in the distribution of motorcycles, is peace of mind for the user.
In any case, the truth is that QJ is a brand that goes head-to-head, without complexes, and with a stimulating present full of attractive challenges. The QJ, a range currently made up of 10 models in 3 different segments, is aimed at a young, courageous, non-conformist and non-judgmental customer. Because quality, they say in the brand, must be valued, but without having to pay more than necessary. In short, QJ has come to provoke, to awaken new ways of thinking and to create a space in the universe of two wheels where we all fit.
It is enough to review the current range of QJ in our market to understand the vision and ambition of this manufacturer in the motorcycle world. Beyond labels, at QJ they are convinced of conquering new territories at the hands of a new audience, not just the usual biker, who traditionally likes motorcycles. For this, QJ offers the Adventure, Street and Custom ranges.
In this sense, and as an outstanding novelty, the new QJ SRT 800 is the flagship of the brand, an excellent gateway to the high displacement Adventure segment and one of the most versatile models in the segment.
We are talking about a motorcycle with a 754 cc twin-cylinder engine and 76 CV of power, with excellent responsiveness, as Albert Alsina highlights in the video. Weighing 254 kg, it has an 18.5-litre tank to ensure excellent range on the road.
The SRT 800 is currently QJ’s top-of-the-range model, a trail-focused motorcycle, and which has a range sister, the SRT 800X, more adventure-oriented. The SRT 800 is designed for asphalt, city and interurban environments, with a really good and satisfying driving experience. A high displacement trail bike at the level of the best motorcycles in this category, as confirmed by Albert.
Of the two SRT 800 models in the range, the most significant difference is in the front wheel, which in the case of the SRT 800X can be fitted with a 19†wheel. Back keeps the 17 “wheel. And on the adventurer version, the wheels are spoked, instead of the alloy wheels of the asphalt version.
QJ takes care of the quality of the components of its models and in the SRT 800 it is worth highlighting the two-in-one exhaust, the alloy wheels with Pirelli GT tires, the 155 mm inverted front fork or the rear monoshock with adjustable preload and extension.
As for the equipment, it includes a 7†TFT multifunction screen as standard, with color graphics, Full LED lighting, USB socket to charge devices such as smartphones, aerodynamic windshield and adjustable hand protectors on both levers.
