800cc

Ini bukan kali pertama laporan tentang Zontes sedang membangunkan enjin tiga silinder 800cc diterbitkan. Ini kerana hampir tiga tahun Zontes telah mencanangkan projek tersebut.

Bulan lalu juga timbul rakaman video yang memaparkan sebuah motosikal jenis adventure sedang menjalani ujian dan bunyi dihasilkan jelas merujuk kepada enjin tiga silinder. 

Namun, perkembangan terbaru mendapati Zontes bercadang untuk menggunakan platform terbaru itu bagi membangunkan tiga model berlainan yang merangkumi sebuah sportbike, naked dan adventure. 

Apa yang menarik, Motorrad Online berjaya mendapatkan gambar enjin tiga silinder daripada Zontes dan membandingkan dengan enjin tiga silinder CP3 milik Yamaha. Berdasarkan pemantauan, kedua-duanya tampak sama sekaligus memberi bayangan enjin Zontes itu mengambil ‘inspirasi’ daripada CP3 Yamaha. 

*Perbandingan antara enjin tiga silinder Zontes dan CP3 Yamaha.

Teknik ‘reverse engineering’ ini bukanlah perkara baru kerana satu lagi pengeluar China, Loncin, turut melakukan perkara sama dengan enjin Honda CB500X. 

Walaupun tiada maklumat terperinci ketika ini namun kami menjangkakan ketiga-tiga model Zontes tersebut akan tampil dengan reka bentuk moden dan futuristik seperti model sedia ada. 

Imej render yang dikongsikan sebelum ini juga memberi bayangan kasar akan reka bentuk yang akan dihasilkan. 

Apa yang pasti, pengeluar motosikal China sudah mula mengorak langkah dalam penghasilan jentera berkuasa tinggi. Jenama lain seperti CFMoto dan QJ Motor juga telah memulakan langkah lebih awal dengan masing-masing turut mendapat kepercayaan daripada jenama Barat  seperti KTM dan Harley-Davidson. 

Jadi tidak hairanlah Zontes bakal menjadi pengeluar China seterusnya yang akan turut memperkenalkan barisan motosikal berkuasa tinggi tidak lama lagi. Kami juga tidak terkejut jika beberapa model ini akan membuat penampilan di EICMA, November ini. 

MV Agusta CEO, Timur Sardarov has confirmed that an all-new range of 950cc motorcycles is on the way.

The Italian firm CEO revealed the upcoming plans after an exclusive interview with Britain’s publication, MCN.

According to the reports, the new 950 range will use the 931cc three-cylinder motor found in the near-production Lucky Explorer 9.5 adventure motorcycle.

“The 950 product that we’re building is state-of-the-art.

“The 950 as an engine will also migrate into other platforms too, in a different spec.

“This is an adventure-spec engine, and you will see a more sporty, naked – there will be different variations,” said Sardarov.

Sardarov also unveiled that the current 800cc range will also receive the 950 treatment.

“The Superveloce, F3 and Turismo Veloce, are all going to migrate to 950.

“We will have an 800 and 950,” he added.

MV claimed that the 950 makes 121hp @ 10,000rpm and 102Nm @ 7,000rpm and able to reach a max speed of 250km/h.

Interestingly, the migration is made possible because the new engine shares the same overall dimension as the existing 798cc triple, making it possible for the new motor to be fitted with the same trellis frame and mounting points.

During the interview, Sardarov was also able to confirm that the new 9.5 adventure motorcycle would only arrive after April 2023.

Some rumours have been going around that the 2018 KTM 790 Duke will be arriving soon in Malaysia.

Dealers have already begun accepting bookings for the bike which is said to be officially launched within a few months.

Based on reliable sources, we can confirm that the 790 Duke will be made available in Malaysia within the first half of the year.

Ever since the official launch of the 2018 KTM 790 Duke last December during the EICMA show in Milan, folks from all over the world have been wondering on how and when this magnificent machine will make its way to their respective countries. It’s the same case here in Malaysia and some dealers have already begun accepting bookings for this very impressive middleweight. (more…)

Recent reports have indicated that the 2018 KTM 790 Duke aka “The Scalpel” will be priced around €10,000 for the European market (around RM48,432)

While the KTM 690 Duke and 1290 Super Duke R is priced at RM43,396 and RM118,000 (basic prices with GST), the 790 Duke should land somewhere in the middle of that range.

If the predictions are correct, we can expect KTM’s latest naked beast to be around the RM60,000 mark.

According to a recent report made by Asphalt & Rubber, early predictions for the 2018 KTM 790 Duke aka “The Scalpel” has quoted the amazing piece of machinery at around €10,000 for the European market. After a direct conversion, the price would be around RM48,432 which quite an attractive figure for such an outstanding middleweight. (more…)
