Set to enter the Malaysian motorcycle market in January 2022 is the 2022 KTNS Zongshen RA2, priced at RM 12,800 excluding road tax, insurance and registration. The recommended sales price includes a package of single seat, rear backseat and engine guard at no extra cost.
Coming from the Zongshen Motor works in
Chongqing, China, the RA2 features retro styling with hints of the
Harley-Davidson Sportster, complemented with brown seat in keeping with the
styling much favoured by the hipster crowd. Power comes with an air-cooled,
single-cylinder mill displacing 250 cc, with power output claimed to be 18 hp
and 18 Nm of torque.
Braking is done with single hydraulic
discs front and rear -the front has a two-piston calliper while the back comes
with a single-piston unit – and two-channel ABS is fitted as standard
equipment. Meanwhile, suspension uses conventional telescopic front forks,
non-adjustable while the rear of the RA is held up by a pair of shock absorbers
adjustable for spring preload. Inside the cockpit, a single, round LCD display
shows all the necessary information, keeping things simple and basic.
Meanwhile, LED lighting is used for the head and tail lights, as well as the
turn signals.
