2013 · Cruiser
The 2013 Rewaco RF1 GTS 1.6 Turbo carved out a unique niche in the cruiser landscape, offering a distinctive three-wheeled experience that set it apart from conventional two-wheeled machines. As a prominent model in Rewaco's RF1 lineage, it offered an alternative to traditional cruisers like the Harley-Davidson Freewheeler or the Can-Am Spyder RT, appealing to riders seeking stability and a bold road presence. This three-wheeler wasn't just about turning heads; it was engineered to deliver a robust and engaging ride for those looking for something beyond the ordinary.
At the heart of the RF1 GTS 1.6 Turbo was a potent Ford engine, displacing 1596.00 ccm (97.39 cubic inches). This powerplant generated a substantial 138.13 HP (100.8 kW) at 6500 RPM, providing ample thrust for its 598.0 kg (1,318.4 pounds) curb weight. Torque figures were equally impressive, peaking at 185.00 Nm (18.9 kgf-m or 136.5 ft.lbs) at a relatively low 4170 RPM, ensuring strong acceleration from a standstill. This allowed the RF1 GTS 1.6 Turbo to achieve a top speed of 192.0 km/h (119.3 mph). With a generous fuel capacity of 40.00 litres (10.57 gallons), it was well-suited for extended journeys.
Riding characteristics of the Rewaco RF1 GTS 1.6 Turbo leaned heavily into its cruiser classification. Its low-slung design and wide stance contributed to a stable and confidence-inspiring ride, particularly for those transitioning from two wheels. The three-wheel configuration inherently offered enhanced stability during cornering and at lower speeds, making it a comfortable option for touring. The ergonomics were designed for relaxed cruising, with a comfortable seating position and intuitive controls, minimizing rider fatigue over long distances.
The Rewaco RF1 GTS 1.6 Turbo was primarily aimed at riders who valued stability, comfort, and a distinctive aesthetic. It appealed to individuals seeking a cruiser experience with the added security and road presence of a trike, potentially those who had previously ridden two-wheeled cruisers but desired a different riding dynamic. Its powerful engine and generous fuel range made it suitable for grand touring, while its unique design ensured it stood out in any crowd. The 2013 RF1 GTS 1.6 Turbo presented a compelling option for those desiring a powerful, stable, and visually striking cruiser.
