MForce Bike Holdings has officially announced the Benda Napoleon Bob 500 cruiser for the Malaysian market. Unveiled during the Malaysia Autoshow 2024 at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS), the retro-styled cruiser is now available nationwide through MForce’s official dealer network.

According to a statement, the Napoleon Bob 500 captures a timeless, vintage appeal with its retro-styled fuel tank, minimalist bodywork, and classic round headlamp. Its exposed frame and sculpted exhaust design are nods to the golden era of motorcycling while integrating modern engineering.

Under the hood, the Napoleon Bob 500 features a 475.6cc V-twin engine, delivering 47 hp at 8,800 rpm and 42 Nm of torque at 6,700 rpm. The engine is paired with a slipper clutch-equipped gearbox and a belt final drive, ensuring smooth performance and reliability.

The retro cruiser vibe is complemented by telescopic forks with scabbard-style covers up front and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear. Braking duties are handled by single hydraulic discs on both ends, paired with two-channel ABS for added safety. The bike also includes traction control for both the front and rear wheels.

The bike also features the modern TFT-LCD round instrument panel, backlit switchgear, and full LED lighting. The 15-inch front wheel and 16-inch rear wheel are wrapped in 150/80 and 180/65 tyres, ensuring a stable and comfortable ride.

Weighing 215 kg and offering a 16-litre fuel tank, the Napoleon Bob 500 boasts a 150 mm ground clearance and a low seat height of 695 mm, making it accessible to a wide range of riders.

Priced at RM27,888 (excluding road tax, insurance, and registration), the cruiser comes in two stylish colour options: Grey and Black. It is backed by a two-year unlimited mileage warranty, offering peace of mind for new owners.
