JAKARTA - Zhejiang Qianjiang Motorcycle, a motorcycle manufacturer from China that oversees well-known brands such as Benelli, Keeway, and MBP, has received significant recognition in China's local market. In recent years, the company has also started expanding into the European market.

Reporting from Rideapart, Tuesday, January 9, MBP (Moto Bologna Passion), which is part of the Qianjiang group, is rumored to be launching the latest model for an intermediate capacity Cruiser named C352LS.

The C352LS design has a modern retro touch, resembling a common crudeer style, as seen on bicycles from brands like the Indian and Harley-Davidson brands. The bike appears with a slim body, high handlebar, and a horizontal oval headlights.

In terms of performance, C352LS does not adopt V-twin machines such as larger variants, such as C1002V and C650V. Instead, these bicycles use parallel twin machines that are more compact with a capacity of 349.5 cc. This machine is capable of generating a power of 32.6 hp at 8,000 rpm and a torque of 26 Nm. MBP claims that this bicycle has the highest speed of up to 120 kilometers per hour (75 miles per hour).

With the performance specifications, it is clear that C352LS is intended for novice riders, which has a light weight of around 170 kilograms, making it very suitable for new riders.

In addition, C352LS is equipped with a dual-seater steel frame that is still not completely perfect. The suspension system consists of a reverse front fork without adjustment, and a pair of shock dampers on the back.

To date, MBP has not announced a specific market and official price for C352LS. However, given that this bicycle has been exhibited at the 2023 EICMA, it is estimated that information on availability and prices in the European market will be announced in the near future.
