Riding atop an 8-cylinder engine, this motorcycle appearing at CES weighs nearly half a ton

【PCauto】SOUO S2000 motorcycle made its inaugural appearance at CES, garnering widespread acclaim and attention.

SOUO S2000 is characterized by its LED headlights, complemented by two parallel LED light strips on either side. Aesthetically pleasing chrome plating enhances various components, including areas beneath the windshield and along the sides of the front fairing.

SOUO S2000 is offered in four distinct models: ST two-box variant, GL three-box variant, Founder Edition, and Black Gold Special Edition. The GL three-box version is equipped with a backrest and trunk, rendering it well-suited for dual-rider journeys while providing additional storage capacity. In contrast, the ST two-box version eschews the backrest and trunk, presenting a more streamlined design ideal for solo riding. Both the GL three-box and ST two-box variants possess dimensions of 2660mm × 950mm × 1540mm and feature a wheelbase of 1810mm. Their curb weights differ, measuring at 461kg and 450kg, respectively.

Fitted with a 2.0-liter horizontally-opposed eight-cylinder engine, the motorcycle achieves a maximum power output of 113kW. It is paired with an 8-speed DCT dual-clutch transmission and features a shaft drive configuration, boasting a top speed of 210 km/h.

SOUO S2000 is equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD display, powered by the Qualcomm 8155 chipset, and supports TBOX and over-the-air (OTA) updates, remote smartphone control, intelligent navigation, and multimedia entertainment functionalities. Furthermore, it incorporates smart voice control capabilities, enriching the technological experience for riders.

To ensure the safety of this nearly half-ton "monster", a suite of advanced technologies are integrated, including an ABS, traction control system, electronic parking brake (EPB), rear warning system, and blind-spot monitoring systems, thus ensuring vehicle stability even in critical situations.

In terms of braking and suspension, the motorcycle features front 18-inch (130/70 R18) and rear 16-inch (200/55 R16) wheels, along with Brembo brake calipers that provide exceptional braking performance. The shock absorbers are designed for multiple electronic adjustments, ensuring stability and comfort across varying road conditions.

Additional attributes include EPB automatic parking, a walk mode feature, and dual-arm front suspension, along with optional enhancements such as an electric windshield, a fully digital instrument panel, heated handlebars, and both front and rear seat heating functions.
