For Malaysian riders, the quarter-litre scooter scene sees a new entrant, the 2020 Modenas Elegan 250 ABS, priced at RM15,315, not including road tax, insurance and registration. More of a makeover than a completely new model, the Elegan 250 BAS nevertheless offers a significant number of updates over the outgoing Elegan, released three years ago.
Most significant inclusion in the new Elegan 250 is Bosch two-channel ABS acting on 240 mm hydraulic brake discs front and rear, a welcome upgrade to rider safety. This brings Modenas’ new scooter on par with other offerings in the Malaysian market such as the Yamaha XMax 250, priced at RM21,500.
Lighting on the Elegan 250 ABS is also brought up to date with dual LED projector headlight, complemented by LED DRLs lighting the way ahead. Inside the cockpit, a combination analogue and LCD display shows all the necessary information, with road and engine speed shown on separate dials and other information such as odometer, engine temperature, fuel, clock and battery voltage is displayed in on the central screen.
Motive power comes from a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 250 cc engine fed by EFI, producing 22.1 hp at 7,000 rpm and 22.4 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Fuel is carried in a 12.5-litre tank and under the seat is a compartment large enough to hold two helmets with a courtesy light while the brake lever is adjustable to four-positions for hand span.
A USB charging port is found inside a small glove compartment in the front cowl. There are two colour choices for the 2020 Modenas Elegan 250 ABS – Satin Matte Red and Satin Matte Black – and deliveries are expected to begin to authorised Modenas dealers in Malaysia beginning November 2020.

Just wonder why modenas didnt put any effort to introduce lower cc scooter like nmax, nvx or adv, pcx since they joint venture with kawasaki. Look at these model. Although price is high, they still have many potential buyer. If modenas can produce 155 c.c scooter, with the technology from kawasaki. And of course cheaper price as it national brand. Buyer with lower budget will buy. It will very good move for modenas.
Don’t ever tried to suggest cheapo motorcycles with zero safety feature into local market please.
There is no any ‘suggest’ for zero safety in this statement. Dont ‘overthink’ friend. For 250 cc, weight is heavy, almost 180 kg. It also big. not easy to maneuvere in town. And not evryone can afford RM 15000 to buy. Thus, 155 cc is better. That why if local manufacture can offer this, of course with proper safety feature like abs. With lower price, due to tax perhaps. Most people can benefitted from this, especially for lower income, have scooter with abs etc for their safety, with affordable price. Peace :)
Kawasaki doesn’t have any scooter technology. If you check the internet, you’ll find out that they source scooters elsewhere.
Any news on Modenas plans to assemble Kawasaki bikes? Silence after initial announcement back in February.
Who is the donor for this rebadge? Bajaj or kawasaki?
It’s mentioned in the article. You should read it before commenting it.
U should read it first before replying that. Comment…
just add ABS and projector light?? common…please la.
we need newer technology, 4 valve, VVA, traction control etc. So outdated Modenas.
4 valve, VVA but still cant put abs is a horse crap..those VVA not gonna save lives
Absoluty surprised when a scooter got engine temperature gauge while our village champion local junk carmaker doesn’t have it.
