Fuel consumption Racer Panther 250 CC • Cramped conditions

Chinese companies specializing in the production of budget motorcycles produce especially many classic “road bikes” and lightweight enduros. This is understandable - in these classes, successful sales do not require any expensive technical innovations. A low price and a pleasant appearance will be enough. Well, reputation, of course, matters - although brands from the Middle Kingdom still have some problems with this. Most often, the Chinese rely on price, and this is obviously what they were guided by when releasing the Racer Panther 250 motorcycle onto the Russian market. Looking ahead, let’s say that the price of a new bike in the showroom for 2022 is about 85 thousand rubles .

In general, the motorcycle is called Racer Panther RC250GY C2 , but Russian bikers have already dubbed it simply “Panther”. Behind this loud name lies a generally unremarkable lightweight enduro, which, among other Chinese bikes in this class, stands out only for its even lower price than most of its competitors. The motorcycle is as simple as possible in all respects, and this can be attributed more to its advantages than to disadvantages. The simpler the technology, the more reliable it is, right? Considering some complaints about the quality of Chinese motorcycles in general, the primitiveness of the design can be considered a plus for the Racer Panther 250.

What is the difference between the Racer Ranger RC300-GY8 and Racer Panther Rc300-GY8X motorcycles

Good morning everyone! I propose a topic, mainly it is created for those who decide to buy a motorcycle. A typical question is: how are these motorcycles different? Externally there are a lot of pictures, but with the filling, not everything is so clear. At some point, when I was choosing a motorcycle, I also became immersed in this topic, I had to collect information little by little. So I’ll start, if anyone wants to add it, maybe with a photo. __________ pp300 — presence of progression, 18/21 wheels, tank with fuel level sensor, front radiator. Luggage handles are cast iron, “spout”, direct-flow type plug - aluminum body - a bit noisy. chain and sprockets in the first releases -428, carburetor in the first releases - PZ32, there has been a PZ34panther 300 for several years now - 17/19 wheels, oil cooler on the side, the bike is more compact, tank without fuel level indicator, slightly different handles, crossed fender, nonlinear jammer - throttle. I remembered that the Ranger's wheels are chrome. How's the panther doing with this?

Technical characteristics of Racer 200 Enduro

In 102 kg of dry mass, Racer engineers managed to compact everything you need to conquer dirt tracks. Of course, there were no frills - the gearbox has only 5 steps . But as they say, what you pay for is what you get, and for the price the Racer Enduro 200 is definitely a good value. It is capable of accelerating to 95 km/h , but in reality it lives mainly in forests and fields, where torque comes to the fore rather than top speed. In this regard, however, he is also fine - the motorcycle pulls very confidently, and picks up speed to 60-70 km/h very quickly. The engine power of the Racer 200 Enduro is only 12.5 hp. , but it seems that in fact there are much more frisky horses hidden in its 1-cylinder air-cooled engine , because it doesn’t take up the speakers. And there is also an “advanced” version of the same motorcycle, called Racer Enduro RC100XZT, with a modified 16-horsepower engine and a couple of other nice improvements.

Braking is handled by 2-piston calipers with discs on both wheels , and shock absorption is provided by a monoshock absorber at the rear and an inverted telescopic fork at the front, in which it is recommended to change the oil immediately after purchase, since the Chinese usually fill in God knows what instead. But the Racer 200 Enduro suspensions work perfectly, and there are plenty of videos online showing this motorcycle overcoming really serious obstacles and even jumping off ramps without any negative consequences. By the way, the Racer Enduro 200 is conventionally considered a two-seater, but it’s better to immediately forget about the passenger, since riding this bike with two people is damn inconvenient due to the cramped space.

Mini Panther. Specifications. Photo.

Mini Panther is an Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle developed by Israel Aircraft Industries for military use.

Mini Panther photo

The unmanned aerial vehicle is designed to carry out tasks related to conducting terrain reconnaissance, performing patrol and observation flights, conducting special operations on land and water, etc. If such a need arises, the Mini Panther drone can also be used as a means of controlling military units in places of direct contact with the enemy, actually serving as a means of communication and relay.

The Israeli drone Mini Panther has a fairly small size, in particular, with a wingspan of 3.5 meters, the fuselage length of this unmanned aerial vehicle is 2.9 meters, and, thanks to the use of composite materials, the weight of the empty aircraft is only 10 kilograms, which ensures ease of use. Moreover, the special design configuration of this unmanned aerial vehicle provides the device with the ability to take off vertically, which is inherently so. Makes it possible to operate the drone even in hard-to-reach areas and unprepared places.

To ensure terrain control, the Mini Panther unmanned aerial vehicle uses a high-resolution electro-optical camera as well as an infrared camera.

The power plant of the Mini Panther UAV is represented by two piston engines, which are capable of accelerating the aircraft to a cruising speed of 60 km/h, with an effective range of the drone of 20 kilometers.

Reviews from Racer Panther 200 owners. Pros and cons

• Suspensions with full settings . Both the rigidity and intensity of the rebound are adjustable.
• Significant ground clearance . There is no need to be afraid of hitting the crankcase against any obstacle that suddenly appears on the way.
• Excellent traction in the lower rev range . Indispensable quality for off-road use.
• Ease of operation . A short wheelbase, reduced diameter wheels and a weight of 102 kg make the Racer 200 Enduro a truly excellent handling motorcycle.
• Convenient electromechanical dashboard . As practice shows, she is not afraid of bumps and falls.

Racer Forester RC200LT • What really pleased me was the fit and handling of the motorcycle.

Pros and cons of Racer Panther 250

Advantages

• Low price . This applies to both the motorcycle itself and spare parts.
• Low weight . From a purely physical standpoint, even the frailest motorcyclist can handle RC250GY C2
• Excellent maneuverability . This follows from the previous point, and the short wheelbase also helps.
• Undemanding to gasoline . The Panther racer consumes AI-92 , and there is a suspicion that it is generally capable of riding anything that burns. Although it’s probably not worth checking on yourself.
• Simplicity of the entire design . Any novice motorcycle mechanic can handle the repair and maintenance of this bike on his own.
• Unification of spare parts . Many parts on the Racer Panther 250 fit from other Chinese bikes, so there are no problems finding them.
• Gas tank volume . Ten liters is a good figure for a light enduro. On the road this will be enough for three hundred kilometers. Outside of asphalt, consumption is difficult to predict; in any case, it increases significantly.
• Fork protection . Standard guards protect the anthers from damage due to dirt and sand.

Flaws

• Standard mirrors . It is very difficult to adjust them to see in them anything other than your own shoulders.
• Front fender . Due to its not very successful design, the engine gets heavily covered in mud when driving off-road, which in the future can lead to overheating.
• Sluggish dynamics . From 15 hp with 118 kg of mass one would expect more vigor.
• Pendants . They are extremely primitive, and they are often broken through in holes and bumps. Apparently, the Racer Panther 250 was originally designed for lighter Asians, and not for Europeans.
• Standard hand protection . Of course, it’s good that it exists at all, but the owner of large hands will find that his male palm hardly fits into the space allotted to it.
• Headlight . It is about as useful as an LED flashlight on a smartphone.

Technical characteristics of Racer 250 Enduro

The release of a small-capacity tourenduro is a rather risky undertaking, because equipping a motorcycle belonging to the “long-range” class with a small engine is not the most popular solution. For example, Honda, in the wake of the popularity of its XL1000 Varadero model, released the XL125 Varadero model for European countries, which is a real small tourenduro, but it completely and miserably failed in sales. This is probably why the Chinese continue to rivet cruisers, sportbikes and road motorcycles, and bypass the touring enduro class.

Irbis TTR 250

A new one now costs 73 rubles, first of all. What oil are you running in? How's the plastic? Were there any serious falls? Were any parts replaced? Reason for sale? What was your maximum speed?

Buy for 74 if available.

Motul Mot oil is almost new, everything is intact, nothing except the oil has been changed. I didn’t accelerate much during the run-in. Selling because I bought another one.

I have a Racer Panther 200

I traveled last summer almost every day. During the period of operation, there was not the slightest complaint about the motor, even the chain never had to be tightened. Before this I was skeptical about Chinese motorcycles, but now I have completely changed my attitude.

April 14, 2014

The only thing

We are driving together; during the testing of the equipment, we agreed not to exceed 70 km/h. Well, I’m driving 70, I see the Panther is catastrophically behind, I’m leaving it right to the point. Stopped, what is it? It turns out I’m going 70, and the Panther already has 90 on the speedometer and is running out of its last strength. So in this regard, the Chinese are lying a lot. The real maximum speed of the Panther and others like it is 70-75 km/h.

April 14, 2014

gallery.ykt.ru/photo/view/1503647 =))) what is this about?!

April 14, 2014

There is a great Russian proverb for this

A bad dancer always gets in the way of his balls. Young people simply brutally kill a brand new motorcycle during the break-in period, and then start writing - it’s a bad motorcycle, Chinese, broken. Believe me, the photo you posted in the gallery will kill absolutely any motorcycle in record time. Moreover, the Chinese TTR 250 and Panthers are soft enduro. That is, this is a simple road bike with an enduro appearance. It is not enduro in essence, it is, in principle, structurally not intended for use as an enduro. Moreover, they are much more delicate than the same Java or Japanese road builders and you need to handle them doubly more carefully, try not to give them maximum speed and load. Then they will be happy for a long time. But once again, they should be treated as road workers, and not as enduros, despite their endurist appearance.

Construction of the Racer PANTHER 200

The enduro class, to which the Chinese classified the model, required good bite, but given the presence of the Japanese prototype, in addition to this, the bike should become lighter, handle better, and, if possible, not lose its driving characteristics.

The design of the motorcycle is designed for off-road riding.

By using high-precision casting, the developers were able to solve the first issues, and by installing a more powerful engine, they were able to not only make their motorcycle equal to its Japanese counterpart, but in many ways surpass it .

The decision to produce two models also bore fruit. The Chinese did not specifically develop a new frame, given the slight difference in engine volumes . Therefore, in addition to the design strength, RC200GY-C2 also received a margin. It became one of the components of the success of the weaker model. This also includes the cost, the ability to travel not only outside the city, but also the low price.

Suspension

Due to its versatility, the bike’s suspension does not create the same problems as pure enduro . In terms of its capabilities, it is more suitable for a classic bike, but the steel thickness of 35 mm allows the motorcyclist to move on asphalt, dirt road, and, if desired, through clear forest.

The anthers on the front fork are soft and look “grown-up”.

The front wheel is supported by a standard telescopic fork, and the rear wheel is supported by a mono shock absorber. The stroke length of both shock absorbers is 150 mm .

Exterior

The decision to create a “universal soldier” gave the Panther the features of a standard road bike (there is even a place for a trunk), and, at the same time, unique to enduro.

Front end

The Racer PANTHER 200 has no bulky fairings, with the exception of a small windshield that covers the instrument panel.

The first thing that catches your eye when looking at the front of the bike is powerful road tires . It will allow movement on asphalt and minor off-road conditions. The second feature will be the wing, which, according to the standard for SUVs, is suspended under the very front body kit.

• The head optics are not rich - a small round headlight with a 2-helix bulb. Thanks to the versatility of the motorcycle, it shines well and is tuned to work in urban conditions. The body kit is small , most of it is placed above the headlight, curved in the shape of a visor. There is no windshield.

In the latest models, the headlight has taken on a more original shape.

Dashboard

The versatility of the panther is reflected here too. Unlike other models in the class, here you can see almost a complete set of instruments necessary for control.

The instrument panel is equipped with arrow-type indicators.

The driver has indications of speed and revolutions (both pointers) , an odometer (a line under the speedometer glass), an indicator of the engaged gear, as well as the inclusion of high beams. Turn signals and fuel gauge are not provided on the panel,

Although the tachometer has a white backing, the developers saved on the size of the numbers; they are not very readable . Marking up to 14x1000 rpm , red zone starts at 11000 .

There are also complaints about the speedometer.

1. It fades in bright sunlight.
2. Miles, on some versions of the dials, are printed in yellow (the stock backing is black). Numbers and additional dots that do not coincide with the main markings of the device make it difficult to read the readings.

Rear end

Motorists driving behind the panther will clearly see the rear red headlight, made in the shape of a hexagon. It combines a brake light and a side light . To protect against inclement weather, the developers positioned it at an angle, slightly retracting it under the rear stem.

• The turn signals are made on separate brackets and placed outside the bike. The location is good, it is immediately noticeable in traffic conditions.
• The saddle is 2-seater , behind it there is a small stem, there is enough space to install a trunk (interestingly, the Japanese have a trunk in this place). But the panther is not intended for long trips - the saddle is small in size, and the second number will sit almost on the muffler. The flex of the frame is designed so that the stem, saddle and fuel tank are in the same plane, with a slight flex at the rider's seat.

A long two-seater saddle is not designed for long trips.
