Speaking of the Siberian Express, one might easily think of the famous Trans-Siberian Railway. But here we are talking about motorcycles. Changjiang has several decades of history and has now launched a new generation of sidecars, including the Siberian Express 750. With very classic lines, it takes a closer look to realize that it is a modern motorcycle.
The water-cooled inline two-cylinder engine is from CFMoto. It has a displacement of 693 cubic centimeters, capable of producing up to 69 hp and 68 Nm of torque. The gearbox is a four-speed.
As is typical with a sidecar, it has three wheels. The front features a swinging arm with two spring supports, while the rear has a tubular steel swinging arm with two shock absorber supports. The sidecar has a third Kayaba shock absorber support and two smaller ones directly below each of the two seats.
The wheels are spoked, and the braking system includes a disc with a two-piston caliper at the front, and a disc on the rear wheel and another on the sidecar wheel.
The design is distinctly retro: as mentioned earlier, only a closer look and understanding of the Changjiang Siberian Express 750 reveal that it is a very modern vehicle. Highlights in terms of equipment include LED lighting, a digital screen on the instrument panel, two USB ports, and a 12-volt socket on the sidecar, as well as heated grips and a voltmeter for the battery. The Changjiang Siberian Express 750 is already available through the importer in France, with a cost of around 17,490 euros.
