The Weibang Virtue 53 ASDX LV is a professional rear-collect lawnmower built for contractors who want clean cutting and reliable drive performance without the added complexity of a Blade Brake Clutch. It focuses on strong collection, predictable handling, and long-term durability in daily commercial use.
Powered by the low-vibration WEIBANG XCV225S engine and driven by a commercial-grade shaft system with a PRO 3-speed gearbox, it delivers consistent performance with fewer wear parts to maintain. This makes it a strong choice for fleets and operators who value simplicity, finish quality, and dependable uptime.
What the Virtue 53 ASDX LV Is Designed For
The Virtue 53 ASDX LV is built for professional mowing where clean collection, consistent drive performance, and mechanical simplicity matter more than feature-heavy control systems. It’s aimed at contractors and grounds teams cutting maintained grass areas day after day.
This is a primary work mower for regular commercial use, not a clearance or rough-cut machine.
Aluminium Deck and Collection Performance
High airflow for a cleaner finish
The aluminium cutter deck is designed to generate significantly more airflow than steel alternatives. This improves grass lift, cutting consistency, and collector filling, especially in heavier or slightly damp conditions.
Consistent rear collection
Grass is directed cleanly into the 70-litre collector, which uses active airflow fabric to maintain suction and clearly indicate when the box is full. This reduces blockages and unnecessary stops during longer mowing runs.
Shaft Drive and PRO Gearbox Simplicity
No belts to maintain
The commercial-grade shaft drive removes belts from the drivetrain entirely. This means no belt stretch, no slipping under load, and fewer wear parts to inspect or replace over the life of the mower.
Three working speeds for daily mowing
The PRO 3-speed gearbox allows operators to select a steady walking pace that suits grass density and site conditions, keeping drive performance predictable and controlled throughout the day.
Blade Protection Without BBC Complexity
CPS slip washer system
Instead of a Blade Brake Clutch, this model uses a CPS slip washer system to protect the crankshaft from sudden impact shock. It provides effective protection for maintained grass areas while keeping the drivetrain mechanically simple.
Lower servicing overhead
With fewer components than BBC-equipped models, servicing is more straightforward and long-term running costs are easier to control, which is often preferable for fleet and multi-operator use.
Engine Performance and Operator Comfort
Low-vibration power delivery
The WEIBANG XCV225S 224cc engine uses Vibration Control Technology to reduce fatigue during extended use. Lower vibration levels make a noticeable difference over full working days.
Controls designed for long shifts
Adjustable vibration-reducing handles, a clear operator cockpit, and spring-assisted central height adjustment help keep the mower comfortable and efficient when used for hours at a time.
Where It Fits in the Virtue Range
The Virtue 53 ASDX LV sits alongside the BBC-equipped version rather than below it. It’s the choice for professional users who prioritise collection quality and drivetrain reliability, but don’t require frequent blade stop/start operation.
For operators who regularly stop to empty, cross paths, or move between surfaces, the BBC version makes sense. For straightforward commercial mowing, this model offers a simpler, highly effective alternative.
