An in-house-developed single-cylinder oil-cooled engine really gets me. Not relying on off-the-shelf parts but building it themselves shows a Chinese manufacturer's real seriousness. Including the tall ground clearance and all-terrain tire setup, tracing how the spec came together is irresistible.

How does oil cooling actually differ from liquid cooling as a cooling method?

There's a quiet sense of pride in it being an in-house-developed single-cylinder engine.

Packing in off-road capability at this price is exactly the kind of value-for-money you'd expect from a Chinese manufacturer.

All-terrain tires as standard clearly show the intent to cover everything from commuting to dirt.

'Dragonfly Captain' is such a distinctive name, it really sticks with you.

13,970 yuan for a 150kg curb weight is pretty light for this class.

Curious about how rigidity holds up in exchange for that lightness, though.
