This Is GWM Souo S2000, Motor Touring Eight Cylinder Challenger Honda Goldwing

JAKARTA - Great Wall Motor (GWM) is known as an automotive company that produces four-wheeled vehicles from China. However, recently they launched their newest touring motorbike from the Souo sub-brand.

Carrying the name S2000, this motorbike made its debut at the Beijing International Motorcycle Exhibition 2024 and successfully stole the attention of two-wheeled vehicle observers and was declared ready to become a competitor to Honda Goldwing.

According to the BikeWale report, Monday, May 20, this bike has a flamboyant and elegant design, highlighting the luxury side compared to its rivals. In addition, S2000 has a number of features such as Bluetooth speakers and connectivity, handles and seats with a heating, electronic parking brake, automatic headlights, and a large TFT display.

This motorbike also has a Hossack-style fork girder front suspension setup with a single wishbone and absorber shock. This tuning is considered suitable for motorcycles in the touring segment which reduces front forks to dive while braking without reducing driving comfort.

The Souo S2000 is equipped with a large 2,000 cc 8-cylinder flat engine paired with eight DCT transmissions. Although the company has not disclosed its power, the speedometer screen shows a figure of 6,000 rpm, so it is estimated that this motor has a strong low-end torque.

In addition, the speedometer screen also shows a maximum speed of 240 km/hour which illustrates that the actual speed is close to that number. Unfortunately the price is not yet known.
