Win a Free Helmet! Just Scan and Stand a Chance To Win a LS2 Helmet!

The ongoing interstate travel ban has made life difficult for bikers. We are unable to indulge in our passion and watching our bike collecting dust is quite painful to watch.

But while we wait for the borders to open, we can stock up on our riding equipment.

And this time, instead of spending money to buy gear, MForce Bike Holding Sdn Bhd, the distributor of Benelli, SYM and WMoto motorcycles in Malaysia, wants to give you a helmet for free!

All you have to do is scan the QR code below, fill in the questionnaire and then do your favourite dance at home to entertain the gods to send you good luck.

That is all there is to it.

MForce says they will pick 10 lucky winners randomly and each will receive a LS2 helmet.

The contest is currently ongoing  and ends at the end of June. So you have plenty of time to participate.

And rather unfortunately but unsurprisingly, this give away is for Malaysian addresses only.

Second Generation Suzuki GSX-S1000 Breaks Cover With Latest Upgrade

Six years after the first generations, the Suzuki GSX-S1000 returns in 2021, with all the latest upgrade.

For 2021, the GSX-S1000 received major styling, electronic and engine upgrade.

Styling

The overall look of the new all-new GSX-S1000 now stands out with the futuristic overlapping hexagonal LED headlight at the front.

According to Suzuki, a part of creating a futuristic look, these new hexagonal lights display a wider and brighter light.

 

The motorcycle also displays a sleeker and slim silhouette that continues from the 19L tank to the tail.

 

Electronic

The 2021 GSX-S1000 boast a host of riding aids which includes:

  • new ride-by-wire throttle
  • Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS)
  • Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS)
  • Suzuki Clutch Assist
  • Traction Control with five modes
  • Digital LCD dash

Suzuki also threw in a quickshifter system as standard.

Engine

Despite the apparent styling updates, the most extensive upgrades focused on the 999cc engine.

Now Euro 5 compliant, the 2nd-gen GSX-S1000 offers 150hp @ 11,000rpm compared to the 143hp found on the 2015 model.

The new motorcycle also received a new intake, new exhaust camshaft, new valve springs, clutch and airbox.

Up Your Game With The Ducati Panigale V4 Racing Accessories Kit

The Ducati Panigale V4 is a beast on and off the track with its 214hp and 124Nm.

Despite the fact that it already boasts a monstrous power, the wonderful people at Ducati decided that there is no such thing as enough power. This brings us to the Bologna-based motorcycle company latest product, the Panigale V4 Racing Accessories Kit.

The kit features a variety of racing-oriented components, including an Akrapovic Titanium Full Race Exhaust that increases peak torque and horsepower by six per cent.

Not only that, but the full-system exhaust also shed 5.4 kilograms off the V4.

However, the installation of the race exhaust requires an update on the engine mapping.

Moreover, the racing kit also offers an assortment of carbon fibre components, including a swingarm cover, clutch cover, chain guides, crankcase protector, and many more.

The looks of your V4 will look even more menacing with Rizoma mirror plugs and a tail tidy.

 

For those who are interested, the Panigale V4 Racing Accessories Kit will only cost you around USD8,200 (RM33,700).

KTM Powered CFMoto 800MT Officially Revealed

CFMoto has officially launched the all-new 800MT adventure touring motorcycle at the Shanghai Auto Show.

While product launches involving Chinese manufacturers tend to be overlooked, the 800MT is one you should look out for.

Despite made in China, the 800MT is powered by the same 799cc LC8 parallel-twin engine found on the KTM 790 Adventure.

CFMoto and KTM have been working together since 2011, with the Chinese manufacturer responsible for producing a few of the Austrian small-displacement motorcycles consisting of Duke 125, 250 and 390 in China.

This puts the CFMoto 800MT as a legit contender in the adventure-touring segment.

While the 790 Adventure offers 95hp and 88Nm max torque, the revised LC8 engine delivers 94hp and 78Nm.

Nevertheless, the 800MT comes with decent spec, including a KYB suspension and J.Juan radial callipers. The 800MT is not shy of electronics either, as it comes with a cornering ABS, traction control, ride-by-wire and riding modes.

The question is, will it arrived in Malaysia? After doing some digging, expect the CFMoto 800MT to arrive at the local showroom sometime in 2022.

KTM 890 Duke Tech 3 MotoGP Replica Edition Launched – Limited To 100 Units!

It is always interesting to find manufacturers taking a different approach in promoting their current motorcycle range.

KTM, for example, just launched an 890 Duke Tech 3 MotoGP Replica Edition with only 100 units of these bad boys produced exclusively for the French market.

The Tech 3 MotoGP Replica edition is based on the standard 890 Duke but injected with a fancy get-up consist of a MotoGP paint job, a belly-pan, Akrapovic exhaust system and a pillion seat cover.

However, it still runs with the powerful 889cc LC8 parallel-twin engine capable of producing 115hp and 92Nm found on the bone stock 890 Duke.

Surprisingly, despite being an ultra-rare machine, the limited-edition machine cost just 1,300 Euros more than the standard 890 Duke. In our book, that is a great deal!

Unfortunately, these limited-edition motorcycles are only available in France, the home base of Tech3 who are currently competing in MotoGP with KTM headed by Herve Poncharal.

Lexmoto LXS 125 Lands In The UK – Under-tail Exhaust Lives On!

Reliability aside, Chinese motorcycle manufacturer is good in one thing, developing an affordable small displacement bike for new riders.

That is exactly what Lexmoto (another Chinese motorcycle brand) is doing in the UK as they recently launched the all-new LXS 125 for the European market.

LXS 125 is a fully faired motorcycle that features the latest design and technology and is priced at EUR2,499 (RM12,366).

What you get are an excellent 10L fuel tank, full-LED lighting and a fully digital instrument.

Surprisingly, the LXS 125 also comes with (a rather unappealing) under-tail exhaust, which we think could have been designed better.

Despite powered by a small 125cc single-cylinder, water-cooled engine, it still churns out a healthy 13.6hp @ 8,750rpm and can achieve a top speed of 110kmph.

Suspension is handled by a telescopic fork at the front and a single shock absorber at the rear, while braking is done by a dual petal disc (front) and a single disc at the rear.

Triumph's Tiger 900 series does not need any introduction and can be considered one of the best in the market. But with the Aragon edition, it became into a package that can be described as perfect. In this video, we take it for a spin with some friends and see what it is like. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTiger #TriumphTiger900

We like motorcycle boots that don't look like motorcycle boots. That just adds versatility to them and allows you to use them for purposes other than just riding. That's the first thing we like about the Eleveit Nirvana WP boots, but there are things we don't quite like either. Watch the video to find out! #Eleveit #EleveitBoots #MotorcycleReview

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience. And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTrident #TriumphTrident660
