The market is witnessing a surge in Chinese-made motorcycles, particularly in Europe, as Chinese manufacturers capitalize on lucrative partnerships with Western counterparts. One such example is Zongshen's collaboration with Norton, where certain models from the Chinese brand incorporate Norton technology. Indeed, there have been notable Zongshen models in the past featuring Norton engines, such as the Cyclone RX6 adventure-tourer.
That being said, there is yet another Zongshen model powered by Norton technology. Dubbed the Cyclone RX650, it is an evolution of the RX6 and is designed around a road-focused adventure-touring platform. With its rugged bodywork, tall windscreen, and standard massive side panniers, the Cyclone RX650 appears to be a capable long-distance bike, designed specifically for on-road touring.
