Overview

Introducing the 2017 Keeway RX3, a compact touring motorcycle designed to cater to both the adventurous spirit and the practical rider. Priced at a budget-friendly US$3895, this versatile bike positions itself as an appealing option for those seeking a reliable companion for long-distance journeys and daily commuting alike. With its rugged aesthetics and a reputation for durability, the RX3 stands out in the competitive lightweight touring segment, making it a solid choice for beginners and experienced riders looking for an economical yet capable mount. At the heart of the RX3 lies a spirited 249cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers 24.8 horsepower at 9000 RPM, paired with a robust torque of 22.51 Nm at 7000 RPM. This lively engine, supported by a 6-speed gearbox, allows the RX3 to reach a top speed of 135.2 km/h (84.0 mph), providing ample power for highway cruising as well as urban commuting. The bike’s liquid-cooled system ensures consistent performance, while its advanced Delphi EFI fuel injection system contributes to smooth throttle response and improved fuel efficiency. The combination of a lightweight chassis—tipping the scales at just 175.1 kg (386 pounds)—and an optimal power-to-weight ratio of 0.1416 HP/kg enhances the riding experience, making the RX3 agile and responsive on various terrains. The RX3 is packed with features that enhance comfort and convenience on long rides. It boasts a preload adjustable monoshock rear suspension and a 37mm inverted front fork, offering a plush 130mm of front travel and a generous 142mm of rear travel to tackle bumps with ease. The bike’s braking system is equally impressive, featuring dual-disc brakes with two-piston calipers at both ends for reliable stopping power. A small windscreen provides added wind protection, while the electric starter makes for effortless ignition. Riders can choose from a stylish palette of colors—Orange, White, Red, or Silver—and enjoy peace of mind with a two-year unlimited mileage warranty. **

Pros

  • Affordability: At US$3895, the RX3 offers excellent value for a touring motorcycle, making it accessible for new riders.
  • Lightweight and Nimble: Weighing only 175.1 kg, it is easy to handle, especially for those new to motorcycling.
  • Comfortable Ride: With adjustable suspension and a suitable seat height of 795 mm, it provides comfort for longer journeys.

Cons

  • Limited Power: The 249cc engine may feel underpowered for more experienced riders seeking higher performance.
  • Basic Features: While functional, the RX3 lacks advanced technology found in higher-end touring bikes, such as rider modes or traction control.
  • Market Availability: Being produced in China, parts and service availability may vary depending on the region, potentially complicating maintenance.
