Yamaha R3 facelift vs Yamaha R3 phiên bản cũ: Sport hơn, Nhiều nâng cấp đáng giá | Đường 2 Chiều

Go, go, go! 1, 2, 3! Hello everyone, welcome back to 2MILES! Previously, we have posted a very hot video about a very hot car, the 2020 R3, which has just arrived in Hanoi. And today, the purpose is to have a more intuitive look, it is easier to observe the difference between the new R3 and the old R3. So today, we have two R3s here, one can be said to be from the 2018 generation, and this is the latest 2020 R3, very hot. And let's see if these two cars are worth upgrading, or if this new car is really enough to replace the old car. Let's start watching the video! First of all, let's talk about the design. We have two front wheels here, starting from the front, it is easy to see that the new R3 is designed by Yamaha for a completely new look, much more beautiful. And right from the front, I can see one thing I like about the new R3, which is the space between the wheel arches, which makes the design more seamless. The old R3 has a lot of space, so it doesn't look very beautiful. That's just my personal opinion. The new front wheel is beautiful. The new paint job is also the same, but the white paint on the front wheels is more beautiful than the shiny paint on the old R3. The second thing is the upgrade of the lights. The new R3 is equipped with a very bright LED light, while the old R3 still uses a halogen light. However, the lights are the same, the halogen lights are the same as in the old R3. Next is the fairing. We can easily see that the new R3 and the old R3 have completely different fairings in both design and material. In terms of design, the new R3 is equipped with a fairing in the style of the Yamaha racing car, and it has better aerodynamics than the old R3. According to the manufacturer, this car will reduce the wind noise by 5% when driving at high speed, and improve the maximum speed to 8 km per hour compared to the old R3. As for the material, the new fairing is very solid, while the old fairing is a bit loose, so the fairing may be a bit unstable when driving at high speed. Next, let's talk about the equipment. For example, the watch or the buttons. I don't think I need to say much more when you've seen a video about the new R3 on Haichiyo Street before. The watch is fully electronic, full LCD. However, there is one point that I quite like about the new R3, which is that the power button is designed in a larger style. The power button and the power button are not separated like the old R3. The clip-on handle is lower, and there is a bar like the Yamaha M1. The design is very similar to the M1, I don't want to say it's exactly the same. And how about the steering wheel? It will give us a more pure sport position. If many people still argue about the old R3, when they say that this is not a pure sport car, but it has a bit of a sport city feel, then this new R3 is a pure sport car. The clip-on handle is a bit higher. The handle of this R3 is really... I don't feel it when I drive it. And the new fuel tank is designed like the R1 or M1. And it's like a car that you can easily see on the street, the R15 V3. It's a new design of Yamaha, a new generation of Yamaha cars. And the cool thing is that there is a small detail on this fuel tank. I think it's very cool. For example, the windshield. Here. The windshield. It looks very delicate. It looks very cool. This fuel tank is also designed to be more relaxed compared to the old R3 fuel tank. And combined with the fact that the steering wheel is lowered and the fuel tank is designed to be more relaxed, it will give us a better seating position to control the car. And maybe that's right. If we talk about the driving experience between these two cars, maybe I'll share it with you later. Next, about the body, we still have a frame system. They are all the same. This is just a facelift version, not a brand new facelift version. So the frame is still the same as the old version. That's one of the criteria Yamaha put forward when they released this R3. A very light sportbike. Very light frame. And it will improve a lot for flexibility and speed of the car. As for the design of the body, these two versions are probably the same. However, the body is a significant upgrade when the new R3 is equipped with a SportMax body. The number is still the same. The front wheel is 110mm, the rear wheel is 140mm. Meanwhile, the old R3 is equipped with a StreetPilot wheel. This SportMax wheel, in my opinion, after experiencing both cars, has a much better road grip. And one more small point on the new R3, that is, although the shape and design are still the same as in the old days, however, it has been replaced by a new suspension. The old R3 was very uncomfortable to ride, so they cut it off. Or even remove it. Maybe the removal of this suspension will affect the strength of the car a little bit. I will share with you later. As for the value upgrades, which I find extremely valuable on the new R3, when compared to the old R3, the first thing to mention is the 37mm upside-down suspension. The upside-down suspension of the new R3, in general, with a small car like this, installing the upside-down suspension also caused a lot of controversy, when many people said that the new R3 should use a tubular suspension as in the old version, to reduce the weight. However, the stability when riding on this new R3 is clearly shown when equipped with this new upside-down suspension. When compared to the old R3, the feeling of the body of the car is not very good. The rear suspension is also a K-3 suspension. And the second valuable equipment, which is this new R3, is now equipped with the standard ABS 2-channel, no longer like the old version, there is no ABS anymore. Actually, the old version also has ABS, but in Vietnam, I didn't import it, maybe because the price is too high, so Yamaha decided to only import the version without ABS. It is also a controversy when many people say that a car that is not too large, like 300cc like this, does not need to have ABS, however, sports cars really have ABS, it will be much safer. The more safe mode, the better, the more technology, the better. As for the stability of the car, maybe it is still the same, the rear of the car is also the same, there is no difference at all. However, if you sit up, you will feel that the stability of the new R3 is a bit, its width is a bit smaller than the old one, it will be easier to stand up, and actually, it will be more stable, the sitting position will be more comfortable. As for the engine, both of these cars still use a 321 cc engine, 2 straight-line cylinders, and the power is 41.5 hp, as well as the maximum torque is 30 Nm, which is quite impressive when comparing the R3 with rivals, such as CBR300 or even GSX-R250. GSX-R250 is also quite impressive. Now, let's talk about the sitting position. As I shared earlier, the steering wheel is lowered, and the gas tank is made smaller, so the sitting position of this new R3 really gives us a feeling that it controls the car much better than the old version. As you can see, the wheelbase is 780 mm, so it's not difficult to sit in this car. It's very simple. And when we sit in this new R3, those who are driving the old R3 and switch to the new R3 may feel a little tired, as if they are not used to it. But actually, this is the sitting position of a sports car. And actually, this new R3 gives us a feeling that it controls the car and the stability of the body is much better than the old R3. In other words, the acceleration is more effective, the steering wheel is more stable, and there is less feeling of being twisted. If you have been driving the old R3 for a long time, you must be familiar with the fact that this car is twisted a lot. This twisting is limited on this new R3. It's still twisted, but it's limited quite a lot. Besides, there is more ABS, so you can go without worry. As for the power of the car, these two cars have the same engine. Or at least, that's what the manufacturer announced. I feel that this new R3 gives us a feeling that the car runs smoother and much more stable. Perhaps due to the new design with the new engine or even the new exhaust, it may also affect the power of the car. This new R3 has a better twist compared to the old R3. The stability at high speed is also better because our sitting position is more forward, and the center of gravity is low. When this new R3 is in the center of gravity, it will be 50-50. One more thing, when we rev up at high revs, this new R3 gives us a faster acceleration. And actually, when driving at about 11,000-12,000 rpm, this new R3 has less vibration compared to the old R3. Is it because of the new exhaust, or Yamaha did something to their engine that they didn't announce? We don't know. But believe me, this new R3 runs much better than the old R3. To sum up my quick comparison between the new R3 and the old R3, we will conclude that first, the new R3 has an extremely beautiful and eye-catching design that is much better than the old R3. Second, the engine runs more smoothly. Third, the car is equipped with new technologies such as ABS, Upside Down, which I think are worth the price. At the moment, this new 2020 R3 is priced at 129 million VND by Yamaha. However, with an old R3 like this, the price will definitely be lower and much more expensive. So, would you like to buy this new R3 with a lot of upgraded technologies and a sport sitting position? Or would you like to buy an old R3 with a little less technology and a more comfortable sitting position when driving in the city because it is a bit like a sport city? The price will definitely be more expensive. So, which one would you choose? Please leave a comment below to let us know.
