This Is QJMotor’s Answer To The Triumph Tiger Sport 660

The Chongqing Motor Expo is a perfect place for top Chinese bikemakers to give a sneak peek into their arsenal. And Chinese brand QJMotor, the parent company of Benelli, has done exactly that by unveiling its new upcoming ADV, the SRT600. 

There isn't much official information about the bike and it was just put on display, without any spec sheet or details. Nevertheless, the design paints a nice picture of the bike. 

The overall look undoubtedly shouts ADV, with a sharp beak and a tall windscreen up front. But it doesn’t come out as a hardcore off-road bike, thanks to the 17-inch alloys, road-biased Pirelli tyres, and the lack of any bash protection. So, this is more of a touring-friendly road-biased ADV, quite similar to its primary rival: the Triumph Tiger Sport 660.

Powering the SRT600 is a 600cc, inline-four engine. QJMotors is yet to reveal the power figures, but since this is probably the same engine as QJ’s 600cc naked bike, expect it to put out 82PS and 55Nm, albeit a different state of tune to suit the ADV. 

From what we can see, the features on the SRT600 include all-LED illumination, a TFT instrument cluster (probably with Bluetooth connectivity), and a chunky USD fork. Whether the panniers in the photos come standard or as accessories is something we’ll have to wait to find out. 

QJMotors is expected to launch the SRT600 in the Chinese markets by November 2021. While the SRT600 could be sold in international markets under the Benelli name, chances of it coming to India are remote. However, Benelli could soon launch the TNT 600 here.
