New mini adventure bike launched – KTNS RS3

A few weeks ago we published a spyshot of what looks like an adventure class bike going through some testing thanks to a sharp eye BR follower.

From our speculation it was a Zongshen RX3 and finally the question is answered when KTNS (the same people whobrings in the SYM brand) launched the bike at the IMF event.

Rebadged to the KTNS RS3, the bike is powered by a single piston four-stroke engine. It makes 18.5hp and 23Nm of torque. The transmission is a six-speeder with wet-multiplate clutch.

Tyres are 100/90 on 18” wheel up front and the rear is a 130/90 on a 15” wheel with disc brakes front and back while the fuel tank is said to hold 15L of petrol.
The bike is priced at RM12,800.00 but add another RM500 and KTNS will throw in the panniers, rear box and engine guards.

For more information go to their website at www.ktn.com.my or you wait till we get our hands on the machines for testing.

Honda brings you True Adventure

After the reveal of a new adventure concept at the recent EICMA show, Honda is now busy teasing and hyping up the final reveal of the new bike.

While there is no technical detail about the bike dubbed as the “True Adventure”, it is clear that it is an adventure type and might carry the legendary name Africa Twin.

The “True Adventure” campaign is up with two videos so far, the first one showing how the Africa Twin became the legend that it is with the Paris Dakar Race and how Honda and racing is connected.

The second video shows how Honda bikes have inspired people to take them to explore the world and changed their lives.

Ironically enough the second video also shows that you dont actually need an adventure bike to go and make your adventure, a few brave people are doing it on the C90.

Also if you think you have a sharp eye then try to spot a Malaysian reference in that second video and tell us what it was in the comments section.
