Modenas Pulsar NS200 ABS Gets New Colour Options For 2021

Modenas has launched three new colour options for the Pulsar NS200 ABS motorcycle.

The new Pulsar NS200 ABS is now available in Plasma Blue, Burnt Red, and Pewter Grey paint scheme with matte finishes. The wheels also feature an all-white colour.

However, with over 8,000 units sold since its launch in 2017, the popular street bike continues to deliver the same technical specification.

As a result, the Pulsar NS200 continue to set the benchmark as the most affordable 200cc motorcycle equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and capable of delivering 24hp and 18Nm.

Despite the colour upgrade, the Modenas Pulsar NS200 ABS continue to be priced at RM9,655 (exclude road tax and insurance) and will be available at every Modenas dealership beginning October.

Triumph Motorcycles Proudly Extend 5-Year Partnership With The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride

Triumph Motorcycles is proud to extend its partnership with The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) for another five years.

The partnership extension is seen as integral for both sides that already shared a story of great success in support of medical research against prostate cancer and male mental health.

DGR and Triumph Motorcycles has generated hundreds of thousands of participants around the world since 2014.

Constant contribution by Triumph Motorcycles and the motorcycle community has allowed DGR to reach greater heights than ever before.

“In 2014, when we first partnered with #triumph Motorcycles, I thought they were the most suitable motorcycle brand to represent The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride.

“Since then we have done so many beautiful things together, for example, we have been able to reward some of the most talented and motivated fund-raisers with the exceptional motorcycles of the Modern Classics family, as in the case of the #triumph Thruxton RS made specifically in 2021.

“Today, that after 8 years together we announce the extension of our collaboration relationship for another 5 years, I am even happier than I was in 2014,” said Mark Hawa, Founder and Director of DGR.

The Distinguished Gentlamans ride in Belgrade, Serbia on 23rd of May, 2021.

During the first DGR that took place in September 2014, the Triumph-sponsored DGR saw a participation of around 20,000 bikers in over 58 countries.

The gathering saw a total of USD1.5mil collected in its first year before raising over USD2.3mil the following year.
