On November 13th, the highly anticipated "2008 Model Selection" in the motorcycle industry was announced. The "Core II" engine of the Honda "Warrior Eagle" produced by New World Honda won the "Best Engine Award of the Year", and the "Best Environmental Contribution Award of the Year" was received by Honda "Feimeng". The company won two annual awards with its outstanding technological advantages, becoming the biggest winner in the 2008 model selection.
This selection is hosted by the "Motorcycle Trends" magazine and lasted for four months. It went through five stages of strict evaluation, including enterprise self recommendation, shortlisting selection, bench testing, professional testing, and expert evaluation. After multiple rounds of competition, a total of 8 annual awards and 8 individual awards were awarded, and the model with the highest technical and manufacturing level in China's motorcycle production field in 2008 was selected.
The Honda "Warrior Eagle" that won this award was developed by Honda of Japan and produced by Honda of New World. It is Honda's first 150CC displacement motorcycle launched in the Chinese market and also a model for the commercialization of Honda's cutting-edge racing technology. The "Warhawk" is equipped with Honda's latest developed "Core II" engine. The "Core II" engine meets the driving habit of Chinese users to output strong horsepower at low speeds, and is an engine that combines both technology and economy. This is the culmination of Honda's advanced technology, which has won over 600 world motorcycle championships. It is reported that the crossover bikes produced by Honda in 2009 will be equipped with this engine.
The Honda "Feimeng", which won the "Best Environmental Contribution Award of the Year", is the best performing among the 24 participating models. Its clean emissions are far below the "National II" standard, and it is the first to reach the National III standard one year ahead of schedule. The Feimeng is equipped with Honda's new generation engine, which incorporates a new technology of "carburetor+dual catalyst" configuration, conveying confidence to the motorcycle industry that carburetor models can also pass the National III standard.
