For many motorcycle enthusiasts and connoisseurs, the phrase "Chinese sportbike" seems unthinkable. However, lately one still has to believe in it, since the external features and the price correspond to the sport class.

Patron Sport 250 specifications

It is this model that currently represents the achievement of Chinese designers in the field of sports motorcycles. The engine of the unit is a single-cylinder four-stroke. Cooling is carried out by air-oil way. The motor was equipped with a well-balanced shaft, as well as an electric starter and a five-speed gearbox. The wheels of this monster are 17 inches and are equipped with disc brakes. The slight downside is that the suspension setup on the Patron Sport 250 isn't great. The weight of this machine is only 138 kg. Power 15.6 l. With. at 7500 thousand rpm.

Model overview

At first glance, the brainchild of the well-known company Shineray turned out to be quite good in terms of its parameters. However, the trouble is that the technical characteristics of the Patron Sport 250pale in comparison to the many shortcomings that this bike has. It’s worth starting, perhaps, with the fact that the foot for the brake pedal is just a small steel bar, which is not very convenient. The width of the upper bridge, together with the steering wheel, also turned out to be too large and is 810 mm. The main frame of this motorcycle is completely steel with distinct steel elements. The small structure behind the passenger seat does not look too nice. Although it serves as a convenience, being a passenger handle, but since the Patron Sport 250 positions itself as a sport bike, it is not very appropriate there.

The rest of the set seems pretty good. The ground clearance of the motorcycle is only 130 mm, which is nice for a sportbike. The wheels have a three-spoke mount, and the seat is clearly divided into front and rear. The rear tire is quite wide; the front brake disc has a diameter of 280 mm.

Motorcycle performance

In order to describe some of the nuances of starting and running this motorcycle, it is worth comparing it with its younger brother, the Sport 150. The first and positive difference towards the Patron Sport 250 is that it did not fall sideways in the moment it starts. The 150 has such a problem when the driver simply takes the wheel. The 250 model not only does not have such a defect, it also has a central stand, which is extremely rare for sports bikes. The motor part of the Patron Sport 250 model is of a newer generation. The type of installed motor is more modern -upper, but only because of this you should not expect something unexpected from him, since he is still a two-valve. In fact, it became clear that the declared capacity of 250 cubic meters did not correspond to reality. The motorcycle has a maximum of 233 cc.

What else can please this model is that the footpegs are set far back, and the handlebars are set quite low. Both of these components together create an inclined riding position for the rider. It is also worth noting that the gear shifts intelligently and smoothly. The calculation was made very well, because if the motor turned out to be a little more revved, then sixth gear would already be needed, and everything looks very balanced.
