Overview

### Introducing the 2021 Keeway RKS 150 GS The 2021 Keeway RKS 150 GS is a dynamic entry in the allround motorcycle category, tailored for urban riders and those venturing out on weekend escapades. With its stylish design and approachable size, the RKS 150 GS is an ideal choice for both newcomers and seasoned riders looking for a reliable, budget-friendly option. Keeway, an established brand under Qianjiang in China, has built a reputation for delivering quality motorcycles that balance performance and practicality, making this model a noteworthy contender in the competitive lightweight segment. ### Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics Beneath the sleek exterior lies a robust 148.0 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, generating a respectable 11.0 horsepower at 8500 RPM and torque of 10.0 Nm at 7500 RPM. This powertrain is designed for optimal responsiveness in urban environments, while also delivering a thrilling ride with a top speed of 95 km/h (59 mph). The 5-speed gearbox allows for smooth transitions and a comfortable riding experience, complemented by a wet, multiple-plate clutch that ensures reliable engagement. The air-cooled system keeps the engine at optimal temperatures, while the carburettor fuel system guarantees efficient fuel delivery, making the RKS 150 GS not just fun to ride, but also economical in terms of fuel consumption. ### Key Features and Technology The RKS 150 GS isn’t just about performance; it also boasts several features that enhance the riding experience. The combination of telescopic forks at the front and a telescopic coil spring oil-damped setup at the rear provides a balanced ride, absorbing bumps and ensuring stability, with front travel measuring 110 mm and rear travel at 60 mm. Safety hasn’t been overlooked either, with a single disc brake at the front and an expanding drum brake at the rear, allowing for confident stopping power. The motorcycle is equipped with both electric and kick starters, giving riders flexibility in starting up. With a seat height of 760 mm, it caters to a wide range of riders, making it accessible for those who might be new to motorcycling. ###
