This trash dares to compete with Honda? lol very brave indeed
Haha must be high on opium la this company. Pui!! cikai cina brand wanna sell for rm57k? Triumph Tiger Sport 660 with panniers & frame protection is RM57k!
Triumph tiger is different category, if you really don’t know please don’t simply comment. Try to use triumph tiger for off-road you will know
ordinary people don buy this kind of bike to ride off-road..
only the professinal riders
what??? how to compete with Honda at this price? this China brand must be dreaming
A lot of comments here talking about the price. Mind you, if the same amount of features+accessories offered in a japenese/europe/uk brands, it would cost wayy more than RM65k. The price is reasonable.
Lets face it, other brands won’t offer as much features because they have become complacent, especially japanese brands.
The main & similar shall be Duke 790 Adv, Tenera 700, V-Storm 800 DE, but here many motor new bird, only compare the price and brand, they are breaking the motorcyclist environment, sad for Malaysia Motorcyclist
Reliability and service after sale for china brand is a nightmare. I have Kawasaki Z900SE and WMoto XDV250i. I know what I’m talking about. I’m in a bad mood everytime go servicing the XDV250. Pomen also have no qualification. The other day I saw the pomen just put the plastic oil filter (I don’t know the exact name) on a sandy floor which should be put on a clean surface.
