In recent years, we've seen a surge in new motorcycles coming from Chinese manufacturers. Names like CFMoto, QJ Motor, and Loncin have stepped into the limelight with their impressive array of new models. Not to be left behind, Cyclone, a subsidiary of the well-known Chinese brand Zongshen, has also been making significant waves in the motorcycle industry.
Cyclone has formed a notable association with the revered British brand Norton. This connection is evident in their offerings, with models like the RX 650 adventure bike and the upcoming RE 650 retro-roadster incorporating Norton's technology. Now, Cyclone is diversifying its portfolio by venturing into the realm of sportbikes. The so-called RC 680 boasts a sleek, modern aesthetic, as depicted in the renderings. However, the design nuances, such as the raised clip-ons and the less aggressive rear sets, hint at a sport-touring orientation rather than an all-out supersport approach.
