After the launch of the
Modenas Karisma 125, the Elegan 250 and associate brand Kymco’s Downtown 250i,
it has now teased photos of its upcoming underbone category model,
the Modenas Kriss MR2 110, ahead of the official launch tomorrow.
With the “MR” in the new machine’s name standing for
Motosikal Rakyat (People’s Motorcycle), the Kriss MR2 is intended for the lower
end of the market, as utility transportation. While there are few details about
the Modenas Kriss MR2, from the posted photos it looks like the new cub will follow standard styling practice.
Of note is the front disc brake, a petal-type design
popular amongst younger riders. Another design touch the the transfer of the
turn signal from the handlebar pod, next to the headlight, to discrete housings
on either side of the front cowl.
This gives better separation for the turn signals,
and greater visibility towards oncoming traffic. The rear-end of the Kriss MR2
is suspended by twin shock absorbers, no real surprise for a bike at this price
point, while the front has standard looking telescopic forks.
No other information was forthcoming from Modenas
about the new Kriss MR2, it appears as if three colour
options are available – yellow, blue and red.
