With events like the hundred-motorbike parade and in-depth test drives, the night was capped off with a concert by a heavy metal band, enveloping the gathering in an intense motorbike culture atmosphere. Riders exchanged their passion and dedication to motorbike culture and witnessed to the thrilling release of the S2000.

The S2000 introduces an unprecedented level of innovation with an 8-cylinder, 2000cc horizontally opposed engine paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a world-first 3-tier, double-wishbone front suspension. Inspired by the "Chinese Awakening Lion," the front light mimics the lion’s eye, while the bike’s stance resembles a lion leaping, embodying a vibrant new aesthetic.

Each bike undergoes over 7000 hours of durability testing, ensuring that even after 30 years, it will retain its striking appeal. This craftsmanship gives the S2000 the aesthetic of a collectible masterpiece.
