Skutik Berteknologi Tinggi dengan Honda PCX

Jakarta – PT Astra Honda Motor (AHM) semakin melengkapi line up produk skutiknya dengan meluncurkan Honda PCX (Personal Comfort Xaloon). Skutik berteknologi tinggi kelas dunia ini diharapkan akan memimpin tren skutik premium di Indonesia dengan pesona kemewahan dalam setiap detail desain bodinya.

Honda PCX dilengkapi dengan teknologi tinggi yang belum pernah ada di skutik lain di Indonesia yaitu Idling Stop System. Teknologi ini akan mematikan mesin secara sementara setelah skutik berhenti dalam hitungan 3 detik dan pengendara hanya perlu menarik tuas gas untuk menghidupkannya lagi. Teknologi ini didukung oleh pengaplikasian alternator/starter yang canggih dan pertama pada sebuah skutik. 

Honda PCX merupakan skutik berteknologi injeksi pertama di Indonesia. Mesin 125 cc PGM-FI membuat motor ini semakin hemat bahan bakar, ramah lingkungan, dan bahkan sudah memenuhi standar emisi gas buang Euro 3.

Teknologi mesin V-matic Honda yang dikombinasikan dengan built-in liquid cooled akan menstabilkan temperatur mesin sehingga membuat Honda PCX memiliki tenaga besar,  berakselerasi secara maksimal namun tetap efisien saat digunakan menempuh perjalanan jauh.

Sistem alarm anti maling Honda PCX memiliki kecerdasan dalam mendeteksi getaran dan gerakan untuk mengaktifkan sistem, dikendalikan oleh remote control. Sebuah persembahan istimewa dan pertama yang hanya ada di skutik premium Honda.

Tidak hanya itu, Honda PCX juga masih dilengkapi dengan kecanggihan sistem combi brake hidrolis dengan 3 caliper membuat jarak pengereman lebih pendek dan stabil saat pengereman.

Honda PCX juga menawarkan sensasi kenyamanan berkendaran melalui desain sit-in riding position, ban tubeless berprofile besar yang stabil, dan suspensi belakang ganda. Selain itu, Honda PCX juga dilengkapi dengan intelligent key shutter yang berfungsi sebagai pengaman kunci kontak bermagnet, tuas pembuka bagasi bervolume 32 liter yang dapat menyimpan helm fullface, serta membuka tutup tanki bensin berkepasitas 6,2 liter.

Presiden Direktur PT AHM Yusuke Hori menyatakan kehadiran Honda PCX ini diharapkan akan mampu memperkuat merk Honda di Indonesia sebagai pelopor teknologi tinggi di segment motor skutik. ”Kami berharap Honda PCX menjadi pemimpin tren skutik premium di Indonesia”, ujarnya.

Executive Vice President Direktur PT AHM Johannes Loman menambahkan segmen premium sepeda motor identik dengan gaya hidup yang selama ini lebih dikenal di pasar motor sport. Produsen motor di Indonesia belum ada yang bermain di segment skutik premium ini.

”Kami ingin Honda menjadi pilihan semua. Karena itu kami hadirkan produk di setiap segmen, termasuk dengan memperkenalkan flagship terbaru kami untuk skutik premium, yaitu Honda PCX.”

Dengan semua keunggulan desain dan teknologi yang dimilikinya, Honda PCX diproyeksikan dapat memenuhi gaya hidup lelaki metropolitan berusia 25-30 tahun dengan profil trendy, smart, sangat memperhatikan penampilan dan memiliki ketertarikan terhadap sepeda motor yang nyaman, mewah dan berteknologi tinggi.

PT AHM akan memasarkan Honda PCX yang memiliki varian warna Silverstone Metallic, Goldbullion Metallic, dan Black Nighthawk seharga Rp 32 juta (on the road DKI Jakarta).

SEPEDA MOTOR UNIK

Sometimes a bike is just a bike... there's no photoshopping going on here, guys. This is Uno, of course, a segway/motorcycle mashup shown publicly for the first time at the recent Toronto National Motorbike show. Technically it has two wheels, but they're right next to each other and it does balance on them under its own power.

Built by Ben J. Poss Gulak, it's an electric vehicle that uses a similar sort of microgyro-motor system as the Segway, but with two gyros: one for forward and back, and one for turning. Its got just one control —a power switch— and everything else is done by leaning, which must make for one hell of an adrenaline-packed ride. It's the culmination of a number of vehicle projects by Ben, and uses electric propulsion for eco-friendliness, since Ben visited China where he found that "the smog was so thick, we never saw the sun."
Ben designed the 120-lb vehicle himself, using Google SketchUp to help with the plans as he couldn't afford professional software. How does it perform? We don't know, but we suspect it's a lot of fun. And though Ben got some advice from expert motorbike modders, and a robotics expert for the gyro programming, he deserves a round of applause— he's only 18 years old. And that's just amazing.

SEPEDA MOTOR ANGIN

No gearbox, no exhaust system, no lights sure makes for a pared-down motorbike. At least it's got an engine, however. And a nice little stand that stops it falling over when you're sitting on it in the office.
Student Edwin Yi Yuan is behind this air-brained invention, and he and his tutor at RMIT in Melbourne, are hoping to set a world land speed record in South Australia - once they get the stabilizer thingy off, I assume. It's basically a stripped-down Suzuki body, with a rotary air engine fed by high-pressure air tanks. As we all know, I'm not exactly good on the science bit of stuff, but what would happen if you're wearing heels and you puncture the tank (as you do when you're one of those fantasy chicks with big la-las, a leather bikini and tramp shoes?) I'm almost tempted to nominate myself as a test driver to find out. I'll have to do something about my current wardrobe, however. [Motorcycle USA via Core77] Source from.....
