A business specializing in imported vehicles in TP HCM recently launched the Hyosung GV350X in the market. This marks the first appearance of this mid-range cruiser in Vietnam, imported from China.

The GV350X sports a neo-retro design, blending classic and modern elements in its overall aesthetic. The motorcycle features low handlebars and a low seat, complemented by bar-end mirrors. Silver-colored details like the exhaust pipe and engine covers contribute to the Korean model's muscular and robust appearance.

The motorcycle blends classic and modern design.

The silver exhaust pipe and engine trim create a modern feel for the bike.

The motorcycle measures 2.130 x 790 x 1.080 mm (length x width x height).

The Hyosung model has a wheelbase of 1.460 mm and weighs approximately 180 kg. With a seat height of 730 mm, it is suitable for most adult Vietnamese riders.

The Hyosung GV350X is equipped with upside-down front forks and dual hydraulic spring-damper rear shocks. These are common features found on cruiser motorcycles with engine displacements of 350 cc and above.

This Korean brand motorcycle features a 16-inch front wheel and a 15-inch rear wheel. It comes with single disc brakes on both wheels, complemented by an anti-lock braking system (abs).

All lighting on the motorcycle is LED. The speedometer combines an analog display with a tft screen.

The fuel tank has a capacity of 14 liters.

The speedometer features a classic round design.

The front wheel measures 16 inches.

The seat height is 730 mm.

The LED taillight has a stylish design.

The exhaust pipe is single and horizontally positioned.

Disc brakes are standard on both wheels.

The engine has an actual displacement of 339 cc.

The GV350X is powered by a liquid-cooled, sohc v-twin two-cylinder engine, producing 31,5 horsepower at 8.500 rpm and a peak torque of 30 Nm at 6.500 rpm.

Power is transmitted from the engine to the rear wheel via a belt drive. This system provides smoother operation and reduced noise compared to a chain drive, though replacement costs are typically higher. The motorcycle includes rider assistance features such as traction control and a slipper clutch.

Due to its generally less widespread brand recognition in Vietnam, the Hyosung GV350X primarily appeals to young people who prioritize riding experience over brand prestige. Its engine, with a displacement under 350 cc, also makes it a suitable choice for new motorcycle riders.

In Vietnam, the GV350X introduces a new segment for neo-retro cruisers with an actual engine displacement of 339 cc. For those seeking a purely classic style, the market offers the Royal-Enfield Classic 350, priced at 139 million dong.
