Rumour: Modenas Z400RS Coming in 2024?

The rumour wheels of the internet are running again with speculation that Kawasaki is preparing to introduce a baby RS called the Z400RS, or even Z4RS.

According to reports coming out of Japan, Kawasaki is set to continue with its usual model line up where the introduction of a new Ninja model will immediately be followed by a Z model, and in recent years, that will be followed up with an RS model.

It is also worth noting that this is not the first time that these rumours have floated, the first was in 2022, but considering that the ZX-4R has already hit some markets, this could just be the year the rumours come true.

Just as a refresher, Kawasaki introduced the ZX4-R early last year and even previewed it at the Bangkok Motor Show at the second half of 2023.

The ZX-4R is powered by a 400cc, inline 4-cylinder engine pushing 77PS. A naked-Z variant will soon follow with the same engine and suspension variant.

However, word on the grapevine is now suggesting that a retro naked model will also follow suite, ala Z900RS and the Z650RS.

Why would Kawasaki do that though? Well besides the fact that Kawasaki has been doing that in recent times already, Kawasaki has also done so before in the 70s with the 400-RS. Back then, the Zephyr and FX name plates were used.

Some Japanese media outlets are reporting that there is a 70% chance of the Z400RS (or Z4RS) being introduced sometime in quarter three of 2024.

So how does Modenas fit into this picture?

Lets not forget that Kawasaki and Modenas strengthened their relationship in Malaysia with Kawasaki increasing its shares in the Malaysian company. This happened sometime in 2021 with an official announcement made in 2022.

Besides the changing of Kawasaki dealerships, one of the key takeaways from that is a rebranding exercise.

In Malaysia, all Kawasaki bikes 650cc and under are rebranded as Modenas while anything above that will continue to carry the Kawasaki brand.

This is why models like the Versys are known as the Modenas Versys.

So with the imminent introduction of the Ninja ZX-4R in Malaysia, could we soon see a Modenas Z400RS?

If the rumours are to be believed, it is not a matter of if, but a matter of when.

Spekulasi: SuperMoped Kawasaki-Modenas Akan Datang Tak Lama Lagi – Enjin 177cc?

Berita angin tentang Kawasaki dan Modenas sedang mencipta supermoped sudah bertular selama beberapa tahun dengan gambar di atas menjadi pendorong utamanya.

Kita tak pasti siapa yang mencipta gambar itu tetapi ia telah beredar di internet untuk beberapa tahun.

Namun, berita angin ini semakin kuat dan yang terkini ialah motosikal supermoped yang dimaksudkan sedang dalam pembangunan di Eropah.

Tiada maklumat tentang di mana di Eropah ia sedang dibangunkan, tetapi ada yang katakan yang beberapa jurutera Modenas yang kini ditempatkan di Eropah selama beberapa bulan yang lepas.

Mereka dipercayai berada di sana untuk membantu menyediakan supermoped itu untuk pelancaran tempatan yang bakal berlangsung tak lama lagi.

Dipercayai bahawa fokus utama mereka adalah pada pembangunan kuasa dan latihan teknikal.

Menurut laporan dari beberapa media Malaysia, moto baru itu direka di Malaysia, menerima input teknikal dari Jepun, dan kini sedang dibangunkan di Eropah.

Anda mungkin tertanya-tanya mengapa Eropah kerana moped atau kapcai tidak begitu popular di sana.

Carian online telah mendedahkan bahawa Kawasaki sebenarnya mempunyai beberapa kilang dan pejabat tersebar di seluruh rantau itu, terutamanya untuk Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

Namun, yang menariknya, terdapat sebahagian Kawasaki Motors di Belanda yang mempunyai pejabat-pejabat di Perancis, Jerman, Itali, Sepanyol, Sweden, dan UK.

Tidak jelas dengan serta-merta jika cawangan-cawangan ini adalah outlet jualan atau juga memainkan peranan dalam pembangunan, walaupun yang pertama kelihatan lebih mungkin mengingatkan bahawa Kawasaki telah mengeluarkan beberapa daripada agensinya di seluruh dunia untuk memberi ruang kepada kewujudan rasmi. Contoh adalah Kawasaki Malaysia.

Tetapi bagaimana jika spekulasi ini benar? Enjin manakah yang akan digunakan Kawasaki kerana ia tidak mempunyai enjin berkapasiti kecil di pasaran tempatan? Nah, itu tidak sepenuhnya benar.

Kawasaki India baru-baru ini melancarkan model W175 yang dikemaskini (dilihat di atas) untuk tahun 2024. Ia mempunyai enjin satu silinder 177cc, berpendingin udara, bermasukan bahan api, dengan keluaran 13hp dan 13Nm tork. Ia bukanlah enjin baru dan telah berada di pasaran untuk sementara waktu, yang bermakna ia telah diuji dan terbukti serta mudah didapati.

Dalam semangat supermoped, adakah ini enjin yang akan menggerakkan motosikal yang begitu dinantikan itu?

Seperti biasa, semuanya masih bersifat spekulatif, sama seperti yang telah berlaku dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini. Tetapi dengan beberapa media tempatan melaporkannya, spekulasi itu mungkin benar, atau ia mungkin seperti yang selalu berlaku – hanya sekadar klik bait.

Rumour: Kawasaki-Modenas SuperMoped Being Developed in Europe?

The rumours about Kawasaki and Modenas creating a super moped has been circulating for years with the photo above being the driving force behind it.

We are not sure who created the photo but it has been making its rounds around the internet for some time now.

But the rumours are getting stronger and the latest ones are that the bike in question is currently being developed in Europe.

There is no word about where in Europe it is being developed but apparently there are a few Modenas engineers that are currently stationed in Europe for the past three months.

They are apparently there to help prepare the super moped for an imminent local launch.

It is believed that their main area of focus is on the powertrain development as well as technical training.

According to reports from a few Malaysian outlets, the new super moped was designed in Malaysia, received technical input from the Japanese and is currently being developed in Europe.

Now you may be wondering why Europe since mopeds are not exactly popular in Europe.

A quick search online has revealed that Kawasaki actually has a few factories and offices scattered all around the region, particularly for Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

Interestingly though, there is a Kawasaki Motors division in The Netherlands which has offices in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the UK.

It is not immediately clear if these branches are sales outlets or also play a role in development though the former seems more likely considering that Kawasaki has booted out a few of its global dealerships in favour of an official presence. Case in hand being Kawasaki Malaysia.

But what if the rumours are true? Which engine would Kawasaki use since it does not have a small capacity engine in the local market? Well that is not exactly true.

Kawasaki India recently launched the updated W175 (seen above) for 2024. It has a 177cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected, single-cylinder engine with an output of 13hp and 13Nm of torque. It is not a new engine and has been in the market for a while, which means it is tried and tested and is widely available.

In the spirit of the super moped, could this be the engine to power the highly anticipated bike?

As usual, it is all still speculative, just as it was for the past few years. But with a number of local outlets reporting on it, the rumour could be true, or it could be what it always has been – click bait.

If you understand Bahasa Malaysia, below is an video interview we did with the CEO of Modenas En Roslan not too long ago about this exact same topic:

KYMCO DTX250 Bakal Dipasarkan Di Malaysia?

Baru-baru ini kami telah melaporkan bahawa Modenas akan melancarkan skuter maxi premium, KYMCO AK550 untuk pasaran tempatan tidak lama lagi.

Skuter tersebut akan turut dipamerkan kepada beberapa pemilik Modenas Elegan 250EX dari Lembah Klang yang akan ke kilang Modenas di Gurun, Kedah dalam masa terdekat.

Menariknya, kami juga dimaklumkan bahawa ada sebuah lagi model yang akan dipamerkan secara eksklusif ketika lawatan itu ini, iaitu KYMCO DTX250.

Ini bermakna, kemungkinan besar skuter maxi 250cc itu akan turut dipasarkan di Malaysia tidak lama lagi bersam-sama AK550. Bagaimanapun, tidak dapat dipastikan sama ada kedua-dua model ini akan dijenamakan semula oleh Modenas atau dijual dibawah jenama KYMCO.

Untuk rekod, KYMCO DTX250 ini tampil dengan reka bentuk yang diilhamkan daripada DTX360 yang dipasarkan di Eropah. Namun di pasaran China, model ini tampil dengan nama KYMCO S250.

Diperkenalkan di pasaran global pada pertengahan tahun lalu, DTX250 ini tampil dengan beberapa ciri moden termasuk lampu LED penuh dengan DRL (daytime running light), penghadang angin tinggi, panel meter digital LCD, tangki bahan api 13L, traction control dan ABS.

KYMCO DTX250 ini menawarkan 23hp pada 7,200rpm dan 23.6Nm pada 6,000rpm hasil daripada enjin satu silinder 250cc 4-valve. Atas kertaas, model ini juga boleh mencapai kelajuan maksima sekitar 120km/j dan mampu mencapai 0-100km/j dalam tempoh 5 saat.

Ini menjadikan DTX250 lebih berkuasa berbanding Elegan 250EX yang menawarkan 22.1hp pada 7,000rpm dan 22.4Nm.

*Modenas Elegan 250EX juga dijenamakan semula dari KYMCO XTown 250i.

Mengambil kira jurang antara Elegan 250EX dan DTX250 ini tidak terlalu besar, tidak relevan untuk Modenas memasarkan kedua-dua model ini disini. Ini bermakna, terdapat kemungkinan KYMCO DTX250 akan menggantikan Elegan 250EX pada masa akan datang.

Apa pun, sama-sama kita nantikan perkembangan terbaru dari pihak Modenas dari masa ke masa.

Modenas Bakal Lancar Kymco AK550 Di Malaysia?

Kymco merupakan antara jenama motosikal yang paling mencuri tumpuan ketika di pameran motosikal EICMA tahun lalu apabila memperkenalkan skuter maxi, AK550 ST generasi terbaru.

AK550 ST merupakan varian ‘flagship’ bagi Kymco bagi tahun 2023 yang menyertai AK550 (Standard) sedia ada.

Berdasarkan perkembangan terbaru, kami difahamkan bahawa Kymco AK550 ini akan turut dipasarkan di Malaysia tidak lama lagi.

Menurut sumber, beberapa pemilik motosikal Modenas Elegan 250EX akan berpeluang menyaksikan Kymco AK550 itu dengan lebih dekat ketika lawatan ke kilang Modenas di Gurun, Kedah nanti. Skuter maxi tersebut telah pun selesai proses VTA Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) baru-baru ini.

Untuk rekod, Edaran Modenas Sdn Bhd (EMOS) telah pun dilantik pengeluar dan pengedar eksklusif KYMCO di Malaysia sejak 2016. Elegan 250EX juga merupakan skuter KYMCO yang telah dijenamakan semula oleh Modenas untuk dijual di pasaran tempatan.

KYMCO AK550 sememangnya mencuri tumpuan ekoran menampilkan ciri premium dan enjin berkuasa. Skuter maxi itu dikuasakan enjin ‘twin-cylinder’ 550cc 8-injap yang berkeupayaan menghasilkan 51hp dan 55Nm di samping mampu merekodkan kelajuan maksima 160km/j. Ini menjadikan AK550 lebih berkuasa berbanding pesaing, Yamaha TMAX yang menawarkan 47hp dan 55.7Nm dan SYM TL500 dengan 40hp dan 42.5Nm.

Sistem pecutan pula dikendalikan Electronic Throttle System (ETS) (atau ride-by-wire), yang kini berfungsi mengawal traction control. Selain itu, pengguna juga boleh menikmati fungsi ‘cruise control’ yang memudahkan tunggangan ketika menempuh perjalanan jauh.

Sementara itu, AK550 ST ini juga datang dengan dua paparan LCD digital serta TFT di bahagian tengah yang menampilkan sistem navigasi khas Kymco Noodoe yang boleh disambung kepada telefon pintar. Juga tidak ketinggalan brek Brembo M4, ABS, lampu LED penuh dengan DRL (daytime running light) dan penghadang angin boleh laras.

Selain itu AK550 juga menawarkan dua port pengecas USB, tangki 14.5L dan sistem tanpa kunci (keyless).

Setakat ini belum ada pengumuman rasmi daripada pihak Modenas mengenai perkara ini dan segalanya hanya akan terjawab sebaik kami menerima pengesahan. Apa pun, kami akan membawakan perkembangan selanjutnya mengenai skuter maxi baharu ini.

2023 Modenas Ninja ZX-25R SE Price Announced – RM33,900

The Malaysian motorcycle landscape is about to witness a seismic shift as Edaran Modenas Sdn Bhd (EMOS), a subsidiary of Motosikal dan Enjin Nasional Sdn Bhd (MODENAS), officially announced the price for the soon-to-be-launch Modenas Ninja ZX-25R SE.

The 250cc inline-four screamer is set to redefine the 250cc segment, promising a blend of power, style, and accessibility that will captivate the hearts of riders across the nation.
In a bold move, EMOS has unveiled a price point that defies all expectations as the all-new Ninja ZX-25R SE will hit the market with a recommended selling price of RM33,900.

George Kashiwagi, Chief Marketing Officer, commented, “The price point does not only showcase the Company’s dedication to providing world-class performance but also makes the thrill of owning a high-performance sport bike more accessible for the Malaysian riders than ever before.”

The Modenas Ninja ZX-25R SE is not just another motorcycle – it’s a force to be reckoned with. Challenging for the coveted 250cc crown, this two-wheeled marvel is powered by a meticulously engineered liquid-cooled in-line 4-cylinder engine. What’s more, its robust design, complete with a voluminous tank, sets it apart from its predecessor, the Ninja 250, giving it a slightly heftier but more stable profile on the road.

One of the standout features of the ZX-25R SE is its ability to unleash its true potential at the higher end of the rev range, with an impressive redline that extends beyond 17,000rpm. This thrilling characteristic, combined with its finely tuned riding stance inspired by the ZX-10R, ensures that every ride is a symphony of power and precision. The low, close, and tight handlebar position guarantees a comfortable yet exhilarating experience on the asphalt.

Roslan Roskan, the CEO of EMOS, spoke passionately about the ZX-25R SE, saying, “The ZX-25R SE embodies the very spirit of both Modenas and Kawasaki – a blend of innovation, performance, and passion. It represents a new chapter in the story of Malaysian motorcycling, showcasing our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what a sport bike can be.”

From its captivating aesthetics to its cutting-edge features such as traction control, USD forks, and radial brakes, the ZX-25R SE is more than just a motorcycle; it’s a statement of intent. Drawing inspiration from the ZX-10R, this new addition to the Modenas lineup promises to ignite the streets with a combination of power, agility, and style that is truly lustworthy.

RASMI: Harga Modenas Ninja ZX-25R SE ‘4-Dapur’ Diumumkan – RM33,900

Edaran Modenas Sdn Bhd (EMOS) membawa berita baik bagi peminat motosikal tempatan apabila mengumumkan harga rasmi bagi NInja ZX-25R SE yang akan dijual dengan harga RM33,900.

Harga tersebut pastinya menggembirakan ramai pihak yang mengharapkan jentera ‘4-dapur’ itu ditawarkan pada harga yang berbaloi.

Untuk rekod, tempahan bagi Ninja ZX-25R itu telah pun dibuka untuk pasaran tempatan dan bakal hadir dengan dua varian, SE dan RR. Dalam pada itu, varian SE juga hadir dengan dua warna pilihan Lime Green/Ebony dan Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Grey / Ebony.

Bagi memudahkan anda mengenali Modenas Ninja ZX-25R SE, kami ringkaskan dalam enam poin penting:

RPM tinggi

Untuk rekod jentera F1 boleh ‘rev’ sehingga 15,000rpm manakala jentera MotoGP mampu capai 18,000rpm.

Percaya atau tidak, Kawasaki ZX-25R mampu mencapai sehingga 17,000rpm! Ini sekaligus menjadikan ZX-25R sebuah jentera yang unik dan menawarkan tahap kejuruteraan tinggi yang sukar diikuti pengeluar lain buat masa ini.

Enjin berkuasa

Ketika kebanyakan motosikal lain hanya boleh capai lebih 10,000rpm dengan memulas ‘throttle’ sehabis mungkin, ZX-25R mudah mencapai RPM setinggi itu ketika dalam perjalanan ke kedai sahaja.

Enjin empat silinder 249.8cc 16-valve dengan penyejukan cecair dan suntikan bahan itu mampu menghasilkan 51hp pada 15,500rpm dan 22.9Nm @ 14,500rpm. Angka tersebut menjadikan ZX-25R jentera 250cc paling berkuasa dalam kelasnya.

Sesuai untuk kegunaan hujung minggu terutamanya ketika ‘track day’

Sebahagian besar penunggang motosikal di Malaysia hanya memiliki kelas B2 (250cc ke bawah) sekaligus pilihan yang ada cuma kapcai, skuter dan jentera 250cc satu atau dua silinder.

Kemampuan ZX-25R mencapai 50hp dan lebih 17,000rpm menjadikan model ini cukup berkuasa untuk beraksi di litar lumba dan melayan ‘corner’ di lokasi popular di hujung minggu.

Sistem suspensi premium dan chasis diinspirasi dari ZX-10R

Kawasaki ZX-25R mengguna pakai kerangka jenis trellis yang merupakan replika ZX-10R. Kerangka ini cukup kukuh dan mempunyai tahap fleksibel tinggi untuk membantu ‘rider’ menikmati pengalaman menunggang yang agresif.

Seterusnya, ZX-25R dilengkapi dengan fork depan Showa Separate Function Fork – Big Piston (SFF-BP) 37mm yang menawarkan pelarasan ‘damping’ dan ‘rebound’ berasingan. Model ini juga datang dengan penyerap hentakan belakang boleh laras.

Traction Control dan Quick Shifter

Kawasaki ZX-25R didatangkan dengan pelbagai ciri elektronik moden antaranya KQS (quick shifter), KTRC (traction control, Power Mode, klac ‘assist & slipper’ dan ‘electronic throttle valves’.

Bunyi yang syahdu

The New-Gen Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R & ZX-4R Screamer Is Coming To Malaysia In 2024

Two icons of two-wheeled exhilaration are poised to ignite the Malaysian motorcycle scene as Edaran Modenas Sdn Bhd (EMOS), the official distributor of Kawasaki motorcycles in the country, unveils an electrifying announcement: the all-new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R and the eagerly-awaited Ninja ZX-4R are set to make their thunderous debut on Malaysian roads in 2024.

The Ninja ZX-6R and Ninja ZX-4R will arrive in Malaysia sometime in 2024.
The Ninja ZX-6R producing just shy of 130bhp despite meeting the latest emissions standard while the ZX-4R pumps out 79.1hp (with Ram-Air).

Roslan Roskan, Chief Executive Officer of Modenas, disclosed that the 2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is charging its way to Malaysian shores during the recently concluded Kawasaki X Modenas Green Mania held at Gamuda Cove, Dengkil.

The Ninja ZX-6R flaunts its remarkable prowess after a comprehensive update to meet the stringent Euro5 homologation standards. Riding in tandem with the ZX-6R is the enigmatic Ninja ZX-4R, an exciting newcomer poised to carve its own niche in the world of high-performance motorcycles.

The spotlight shines brightest on the 2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, a testament to Kawasaki’s relentless pursuit of perfection. The centerpiece of this superbike is its reinvigorated 636cc liquid-cooled engine, meticulously tuned and tested to meet Euro5 standards—a remarkable achievement that sets it apart from its rivals, the Yamaha R6 and Honda CBR600RR. Not content with just compliance, Kawasaki engineers have pushed the boundaries, subjecting the engine to rigorous testing to ensure it surpasses expectations.

The Ninja ZX-6R’s update isn’t just under the hood; it boasts an array of advanced features that elevate its performance and rider experience. Showa’s Separate Function Big Piston Forks enhance handling, while a quickshifter and three-mode traction control system provide riders with unparalleled control. Multiple power modes and riding modes allow for personalised experiences, and a 4.3″ TFT dash with smartphone connectivity keeps riders informed and engaged, even while on the move.

Meanwhile, the spotlight also falls on the daring Ninja ZX-4R, a pocket rocket powered by an all-new 399cc inline-four, water-cooled 4-stroke DOHC engine. Capable of a heart-pounding 79.1hp with Ram-Air, this compact powerhouse delivers excitement in abundance. Boasting a rev limit exceeding 15,000rpm, the ZX-4R inherits the DNA of its sibling, the ZX-25R, and shares the same trellis frame, showcasing Kawasaki’s commitment to innovation.

The suspension prowess of the Ninja ZX-4R is equally notable, thanks to Showa’s SFF-BP forks at the front and a horizontal back-link at the rear. Distinguishing the variants is the suspension package: the base model features SFF-BP forks, while the SE and RR boast front forks with preload adjustment. The RR, in particular, enjoys the Showa BFRC-lite rear shock, a nod to its high-performance lineage.

Technological wizardry is in full force with the Ninja ZX-4R, featuring all-LED lighting, Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC), and an array of four power modes catering to varying riding conditions. The SE and RR versions elevate the experience with a two-way quickshifter and a 4.3-inch LCD color display replete with an integrated ‘Track Mode.’

As the countdown begins for the arrival of the new-gen Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R and the thrilling Ninja ZX-4R, the Malaysian motorcycle landscape is poised for an adrenaline-infused transformation. These two masterpieces, representing the epitome of engineering and innovation, are set to captivate riders and enthusiasts alike.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R Masuk Malaysia Suku Ketiga 2024?

Kawasaki kembali mencapai populariti di pasaran global sejak membuat langkah berani dengan memperkenalkan jentera 4-inline 250cc, Ninja ZX-25R.

Pengeluar motosikal Jepun itu tidak berhenti disitu apabila turut mengembangkan barisan model ‘4-dapur’ apabila melancarkan Ninja ZX-4R secara rasminya pada awal tahun ini. Selang beberapa bulan kemudian, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R itu turut diperkenalkan di pasaran Thailand dengan dua varian, Standard dan SE.

Malaysia pula masih ketandusan model sulung menerusi Ninja ZX-25R namun kami tidak risau kerana pengedar rasmi, Edaran Modenas Sdn Bhd (EMOS) akan memperkenalkan motosikal tersebut tahun ini yang dijangka berlaku antara hujung bulan Ogos atau awal bulan September.

Dalam perkembangan terbaru, kami difahamkan Ninja ZX-4R akan turut dibawa ke pasaran Malaysia. Berdasarkan info yang kami perolehi, Ninja ZX-4R itu dijangka akan diperkenalkan sekitar Suku Ketiga tahun depan (2024).

Untuk rekod, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR ini dikuasakan enjin 399cc 4-stroke DOHC dengan penyejukan cecair yang menawarkan ‘rev limit’ lebih 15,000rpm. Kuasa enjin pula disalurkan kepada tayar belakang menerusi transmisi 6-kelajuan dengan bantuan klac basah. Platform tersebut berupaya menghasilkan 79.1hp dengan bantuan Ram-Air.

Perkembangan terbaru ini pastinya merancakkan lagi pasaran motosikal tempatan dengan kehadiran motosikal 4-inline 400cc itu.

Namun, sementara menanti ketibaan model tersebut, kami lebih teruja dengan pelancaran Ninja ZX-25R yang akan berlangsung tidak lama lagi. Ini kerana motosikal tersebut akan dipasang sepenuhnya disini dan akan dijual dibawah lencaran Modenas.

Terbaru, EMOS juga telah merasmikan pelancaran tiga model CKD 650cc menerusi Modenas Versys 650, Ninja 650 dan Z650. Ketiga-tiga model ini dijual dengan harga bawah RM40,000 sekaligus menghadirkan berita gembira buat peminat tempatan yang mahu merasaik jentera Jepun dengan harga lebih mesra.

Apa pun, kita nantikan pengumuman rasmi dari pihak EMOS mengenai pelancaran model akan datang itu.
