There is a very interesting model in motorcycles, which has many names.

For example: rally cars, recreational vehicles, off-road vehicles, adventure vehicles, adventure vehicles

Wait a minute.

The English abbreviation of the model is ADV, only this name is not disputed.

So which Chinese translation is correct?

Let's explain this question today, first give the correct answer: expedition vehicle, adventure vehicle, these two names are correct. ADV is the abbreviation of the English word adventure, the meaning of adventure, adventure, adventure, etc., of course, not all English names are suitable for direct translation, for example, there are some movie names that will seem very strange if directly translated, or even completely incomprehensible, so there will be a situation where the meaning of Chinese and English names is completely different. However, the Chinese words corresponding to adventure are commonly used words and have good meanings, so direct translation and naming is the most reasonable way.

Let's talk about the English correspondence of other names:

Rally refers to rally cars, which have basically the same characteristics as off-road vehicles, while the ADV model also borrows from off-road vehicles, so the two types of cars are confused, but the difference is evident in the pictures. RV is the most difficult to define, the direct translation should be MPM, that is, multi-purpose motocycle, recreational vehicle corresponds to multi-purpose, but this definition is basically not used. Off-road vehicles are off-road vehicles, and off-road motocycles are off-road motocycles, so they are ORM; However, vehicle is only all types of transportation, so off-road vehicles are called ORVs no matter what type they are, and recreational motorcycles are also MPVs.

Take a look at the pictures:

Figure 1: Rally car

Figure 2: Dirt Bike

Figure 3: RV

This is the difference between the three types of models, and the point is that the three types of models are very different from the ADV; Rally car is a branch of off-road vehicle, the appearance characteristics are more prominent is the "rally front", off-road vehicle is simpler, the pursuit of ultimate stability and lightweight. The recreational vehicle is much heavier, this model has a huge front and body, which can effectively reduce wind resistance, and can also improve the riding comfort; Vehicles tend to have side boxes and tail boxes, and the loading capacity will be strong, but the ground clearance of the vehicle will be relatively low, and the body is too large and bulky, so the SUV has no off-road ability at all.

The representative models of the SUV are the Spring Breeze State Guest 1600 and 0, BMW K0, this kind of big guy is the recreation.

Let's talk about ADV

Adventure naturally has to go outdoors, so what is the risk of exploring in the city?

Since the vehicle must have off-road ability to go on outdoor adventures, recreational vehicles have been eliminated, leaving off-road vehicles and rally vehicles; However, these two models are not suitable for outdoor adventures, first of all, their power reserve is not very sufficient, secondly, they do not have enough loading capacity, and thirdly, the characteristics of the models determine the poor riding experience. Outdoor adventure not only requires the vehicle to have high enough reliability, but also can be equipped with a series of adventure equipment, so the adventure model appeared; This model retains some of the characteristics of off-road vehicles, such as high-strength body, wheels and all-terrain tires, and the ground clearance is high enough, and the vehicle adopts some of the shape design concepts of the SUV, such as the huge fuel tank can not only play the role of anti-drop protection but also reduce wind resistance airflow, and the focus is that there are also huge three boxes to ensure the loading capacity.

So the ADV is actually a combination of station wagon and off-road vehicle, and it is an outdoor vehicle suitable for non-professional off-road riders.

Now let's determine the corresponding car models of "various types of ADV": ADV, off-road vehicles, Rally cars and off-road vehicles such as Wrangler, Tank 9, BJ0, Tank 0/0, Leopard 0, Prado, etc., recreational vehicles for various racing cars such as Dakar Rally, MPV, Buick GL0, Denza D0, Toyota Sena, VOYAH Dreamer and other models

The real ADV is like an off-road car in a car, but it is only a "production group" and an "amateur group", and in the automotive field, the real off-road racing is a modified car in various events rather than these production cars; Due to the low cost of motorcycles, there are professional off-road vehicles and rally vehicles sold to the individual user market, which is why it is necessary to distinguish between them.

However, not all ADVs are real expedition cars, because some cars are just ordinary street cars with ADV shells, among which the more typical is the DL250 of Haojue Suzuki, whose prototype is a street car; Therefore, when choosing ADV, it is necessary to pay attention to screening, avoid choosing models that are vain, driving these models to outdoor adventures is really an adventure, ADV must have a solid frame and sufficient power reserve.

建議整備品質在150~170公斤之間的ADV，排量應當在200cc以上；整備品質在170-200公斤之間的ADV，排量應當在400cc左右，超過兩百公斤的探險車應當採用500cc以上的發動機。
