QJMotor SRK 250 RD Set to Challenge Kawasaki ZX-25R in Malaysia’s 250cc Four-Cylinder Segment.

Five years after Kawasaki shook the motorcycle world with the surprise debut of the Ninja ZX-25R in Indonesia, and later brought the high-revving quarter-litre four-cylinder machine to Malaysia in August 2023, a new challenger is gearing up to enter the ring.

QJMotor, the Chinese motorcycle giant, is preparing to launch the SRK 250 RD, a 249cc four-cylinder sportbike that could disrupt the segment with an impressive spec sheet and a much lower expected price point. According to industry sources, MForce Bike Holdings, the official distributor of QJMotor in Malaysia, is currently evaluating the model for local introduction.

High-Revving Performance at a Lower Cost

The SRK 250 RD features a 249cc DOHC, liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine, capable of producing a peak power of 40.2hp at 15,500rpm and 22Nm of torque at 12,500rpm. On paper, these figures closely rival the ZX-25R, offering Malaysian riders another taste of high-revving excitement, but potentially for a lot less.

Info gathered from their official website, the SRK 250 RD also boasts premium components, including USD front forks, a monoshock rear suspension, and Brembo-style brake calipers with 320mm front and 240mm rear discs. Riders will also benefit from ABS, a 16-litre fuel tank, a 176kg kerb weight, and an 808mm seat height.

A Global Strategy with Local Appeal

QJMotor has developed the SRK 250 RD as the flagship of its 250cc sportbike lineup, sitting above its other variants, the single-cylinder SRK 250 RS and SRK 25 R, and the twin-cylinder SRK 250 RC. The RD is a new, ground-up model aimed at global markets, including Malaysia, where small-displacement performance bikes are a growing trend among younger and budget-conscious riders.

If launched locally, the SRK 250 RD is expected to be priced below RM23,000, undercutting the RM33,900 price tag of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R by a substantial margin.

Will It Come to Malaysia?

While no official launch date has been confirmed, the SRK 250 RD is expected to arrive in late 2025 or early 2026, pending MForce Malaysia’s decision. Social media buzz and industry whispers suggest that interest in the bike is already strong, and its competitive price could make it a serious threat in the small-displacement sportbike segment.

For now, we’ll have to wait for an official announcement from MForce Bike Holdings, but if the SRK 250 RD does hit Malaysian shores, it could mark the beginning of a new four-cylinder rivalry in the 250cc class.
