Description Viper ZS250-R1
Truly a copy of a new generation sports motorcycle, this steel horse has a fairly powerful and responsive engine. Its aggressive throttle response is capable of reaching 7,500 rpm. For the class of 250 cc bikes, believe me, this is clearly a lot. Moreover, the four-stroke engine of this iron horse is equipped with only one cylinder. It’s a pity that the latter is cooled by an air cooling system, which is considered a relic of the last century. But the braking system of a two-wheeler is more modern and is represented by disc devices.
Among the interesting features of the motorcycle is low fuel consumption. reaching 2.65 l. per 100 kilometers traveled. Another unusual point, as for a budget vehicle, is the presence of one mono shock absorber as a rear shock absorption system. This feature allows the bike to resemble a sports motorcycle. You can praise the running technical characteristics of the 250 Viper for a long time. They make an attractive-looking motorcycle more functional.
The Viper ZS250 R1 engine was created as such for maximum efficiency. It is quite controllable and allows you to develop quite high speeds with normal fuel system settings. In terms of safety, this steel horse can also be praised. Among other design elements of the above bike, we can also praise the tidy, created in a combined form. The latter has everything for full control of the operation of the iron horse.
Many people want to buy this motorcycle because of its good speed performance, as well as its rapid acceleration to 10 km/h. Some owners of this two-wheeler claim that they scored the coveted “hundredth” in just 6-7 seconds. On the Internet you can find videos indicating a longer time spent on this process (about 10 seconds). In the latter, the above bike reached a maximum speed of 155 km/h. However, most owners claim that at a speed of 110-115 km. at one o'clock. The engine of the iron horse begins to work at the limit. In this case, the maximum (breaking) load on the motor is felt. According to the sellers, the maximum speed of the Viper ZS250-R1 motorcycle is 140 km/h. With the correct carburetor, ignition and valve system settings, this indicator seems quite reliable.
Compatriots like the dashboard of this 250 cc. It is easy to read regardless of the time of day the motorcycle is used. You will probably also like the warranty conditions from most sellers of this steel horse. They apply to the first year of operation of the bike or the first 6 thousand kilometers of a two-wheeler. But the complaints of Viper ZS250-R1 owners primarily affect the operation of the motorcycle engine at idle. According to many, the engine often stalls at these extremely low speeds. They say it has to do with the carburetor, pipes and valves.

Fifth incarnation of the Dodge Viper
Dodge Viper SRT (2019-2020) prices and equipment. Review of Viper SRT/GTS (Phase I VX) with technical characteristics and photos.
After a two-year “silence” at the New York Auto Show in April 2012, the premiere of the fifth-generation Viper supercar, which received the SRT badge instead of the Dodge, took place. Despite the familiar shape and engine, the coupe has not only become more powerful, but also more comfortable, more technologically advanced and more tractable than its predecessor.
In the second half of 2014, the Americans slightly updated the model, returning its former name Dodge Viper SRT, slightly increasing engine power and adding new options, interior trim options and exterior colors.
The aggressive body design of the fifth generation Viper is a clear legacy of the original model, making the car completely recognizable even among thousands of other supercars.
An endless hood, a large air intake in the bumper, divided by a signature crosshair, a cabin moved back with “humps” on the roof, a side exhaust and a lean rear – the two-door looks powerful and impressive.
The modern appearance is added by “snake-eye headlights” with LED daytime running lights, elegant rear lights and beautiful wheel rims, standardly clad in different-sized tires of 295/30 R18 and 335/30 R19 sizes at the front and rear, respectively.
The “fifth” Dodge Viper is a two-door sports coupe with the following body dimensions: 4463 mm in length, 1941 mm in width and 1246 mm in height. The wheelbase of the American supercar is 2510 mm, and its minimum ground clearance is 127 mm.
For the first time in its long history, the interior of the Viper corresponds to the high rank of the car - it is not only beautifully and modernly designed, but also made from high-quality materials. Directly behind the “fat” multifunction steering wheel with a cut-off lower part is a 7-inch color instrument panel display with analog gauges on the sides. A wide transmission tunnel, dividing the cabin into two cockpits, turns into a stylish console with an 8.4-inch “TV” and an air conditioning unit.
By default, the car is equipped with deep “buckets” made of Kevlar, tightly encircling the bodies of the driver and passenger, with sufficient ranges of adjustment.
In addition to this, the supercar has good practicality, at least for its class - there is a luggage compartment with a capacity of 415 liters in the rear.
Specifications. Under the long hood of the fifth generation Dodge Viper lies a naturally aspirated gasoline engine with ten V-shaped cylinders, an aluminum structure and sequential fuel injection. The working volume of the power unit is 8.4 liters (8390 cubic centimeters), and its peak output reaches 654 “horses” at 6200 rpm and 814 Nm of torque, realized from 5000 rpm.
It is combined with a Tremec TR6060 6-speed manual gearbox and a GKN ViscoLok limited slip differential, which transmit full traction to the rear axle wheels.
“The Fifth Viper” is a real supercar with appropriate speed characteristics. The American takes off from a standstill to the first hundred in just 3.5 seconds, and its maximum capabilities are limited at 330 km/h. The passport gas consumption on the highway is stated at 11.8 liters for every 100 km.
At the heart of the American two-door is a spatial tubular frame, entirely made of high-strength steel. Magnesium and aluminum alloys are abundantly used in the body structure, and the hood, trunk lid and roof are made of carbon fiber, as a result of which the weight of the basic version is 1521 kg (weight distribution along the axles is almost ideal: 49.6% of the mass presses on the front, 50.4% on the rear) .
The fifth-generation Dodge Viper SRT suspension is assembled on aluminum lower and upper A-arms at both the front and rear. By default, the car is equipped with shock absorbers of fixed stiffness, but the “top” GTS version is equipped with electronically controlled struts with two operating modes. The steering system on the “American” is standard - with a traditional rack and hydraulic power steering. The braking system is based on 355 mm ventilated discs all round with 4-piston Brembo calipers, which are complemented by a four-channel ABS system. In the “base”, the two-door “flaunts” a stabilization system with two operating modes, but the GTS already has four operating modes.
In addition, there is a more extreme modification in the Viper line, called ACR (American Club Racing). The coupe is equipped with the same engine as the standard version, but differs from it in a “racing” body kit with a lot of aerodynamic elements, including a giant rear wing.
This car is equipped with an adaptive suspension with adjustable shock absorbers and special springs, as well as carbon-ceramic brakes with 391 mm discs and six-piston Brembo calipers.
Options and prices. The fifth generation Dodge Viper SRT is not officially sold in Russia, but the car can be purchased on the secondary market in 2015 at a price of at least 10 million rubles. In the US, the base supercar starts at $89,090, the GTS version starts at $107,995, and the extreme ACR starts at $117,895. As standard, the “American” is equipped with: two airbags, a zone climate control system, a multimedia complex, traction control, ABS, ESC, bi-xenon head optics, analog-digital instrumentation, a factory audio system and other modern features.
