Context
Why does this story matter?
The QJ Flash 500 offers the perfect combination of good looks and excellent performance. It should rack up quite a few sales in the Chinese market. The arrival of the cruiser bike in India seems improbable. However, if it does, it will take on rivals such as the Benelli 502C and will raise the competition in the market.

The bike is offered in six shades
The QJ Flash 500 has a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a split-style saddle, an underbelly exhaust, a high-set handlebar, and a circular headlight. It packs an all-LED setup for lighting, a digital instrument cluster, and rides on designer blacked-out wheels. The bike is offered in two variants: Belt Drive and Chain Drive. It is also available in six color options.
Information
It runs on a 48hp, 500cc engine
The powertrain details of the QJ Flash 500 are currently unavailable. However, it is likely to be fueled by a 500cc, parallel twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine sourced from the SRV500 that makes 48.2hp of power and 40Nm of torque.
Safety
It gets a rear mono-shock unit
To ensure the safety of the rider, the QJ Flash 500 cruiser motorcycle is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with a front axial caliper.
