The Cyclone RT3e scooter was recently previewed.
Cyclone brand is the premium brand of motorcycles under Zongshen Industrial Group. The group primarily builds locomotives in their home country.
The Cyclone RT3e is positioned as a “modern classic” scooter with vintage looks and contemporary features.
Power is provided by a single-cylinder 247cc, DOHC, four-valve, EFI, liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine, which produces 24.8 HP (19.5 kW) at 7,500 RPM and 24.5 Nm at 6,500 RPM. By comparison, those figures are higher than that produced by the Yamaha XMax 250’s engine.
On the chassis front, wheels are 12-inches at both ends. The brakes are disc on the front and rear, assisted by ABS. The bike has a traction control system (TCS), too.
Do note that the spec sheets claimed a 10-litre fuel tank at the launch, which differs from the 13-litres in the RT2e. Still, a 750mm seat height and 162kg dry sound good.
Lighting is LED all around with backlit buttons, and a digital instrument panel.
The Cyclone RT3e was launched at RM 12,888. It is now available at Cyclone dealerships around the country.
