Is the Jiao Long 200 a Horizon?
2 Answers
Jiao Long 200 is a Horizon. Horizon motorcycles refer to domestically assembled small-factory motorcycles that imitate the appearance of sports bikes. Motorcycle Classification: Motorcycles are two or three-wheeled vehicles driven by gasoline engines, with handlebars to steer the front wheel. They are lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, etc. They are a versatile, fast, economical, and comfortable mode of transportation. Characteristics: They combine the flexibility and portability of bicycles with the mobility and speed of cars. Broadly, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, touring bikes, etc.
From my over ten years of experience in car repair, the Jiao Long 200 is definitely not a Horizon brand vehicle. Horizon is a small domestic motorcycle brand in China, mainly producing flashy-looking small-displacement sports bikes, such as the Horizon 250 model. I've disassembled many of them, and Horizon bikes all come with brand nameplates and standard logos. The Jiao Long 200 might sound impressive by name, but upon checking the details or inspecting the actual bike, it's usually a replica or an independent brand product made by other small manufacturers, with different parts and designs. I recommend carefully checking the manufacturer information and invoice when buying a bike—don't be fooled by appearances, as counterfeit products are prone to malfunctions. Additionally, many beginners often ask similar confusing questions; the key is to test ride at authorized dealerships and prioritize safety.
