ZXMoto has officially entered the Malaysian market with the launch of the ZXMoto 500F and ZXMoto 500RR at the “Rise of the Champions, ZXMoto Official Launch” event, held alongside the MForce Mid-Autumn Gala 2026 at Courtyard, Kuala Lumpur. The launch was also attended by ZXMoto Founder Zhang Xue, who joined the event to mark the brand’s official debut in Malaysia.

Both models are officially distributed by MForce Bike Holdings Sdn Bhd, with each targeting a different segment of the 500cc motorcycle market. The ZXMoto 500F is positioned as the brand’s sporty naked offering and is priced at RM28,888, while the fully faired ZXMoto 500RR enters the supersport segment at RM29,988. Both prices exclude road tax, insurance and registration.

Both models come with a two-year warranty or 20,000km, whichever comes first. If the motorcycle exceeds 20,000km within the two-year warranty period, its engine components remain covered by an unlimited-mileage warranty for the remainder of the warranty period. ZXMoto Malaysia also provides an online service for customers to purchase original spare parts.

ZXMoto 500F

The ZXMoto 500F is a retro roadster-style motorcycle inspired by Japanese motorcycles, powered by a 470cc inline four-cylinder, 16-valve DOHC engine producing 72.4 horsepower at 11,000rpm and 48Nm at 9,500rpm. The engine uses a 59mm x 43mm bore and stroke, with a 12:1 compression ratio. Power is delivered through a wet multi-plate slipper clutch, designed to provide smoother gear changes.

For suspension, the 500F comes with inverted front forks with adjustable damping, while the rear uses a central monoshock with adjustable preload. Braking is handled by dual 300mm floating discs at the front and a 220mm single disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS fitted as standard.

The motorcycle rides on 120/70 ZR17 front and 180/55 ZR17 rear tyres, supported by a Double Cradle Frame with Steel Trellis Structure. The 500F has a 795mm seat height and 175kg kerb weight, while the fuel tank holds 15 litres.

Equipment includes an analogue needle meter with a central LCD display, USB charging port, side-stand safety switch and LED lighting. The 500F also gets Daytime Running Lights (DRL), Traction Control System (TCS), Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and two riding modes, Eco and Sport. For the Malaysian market, the ZXMoto 500F is available in Phantom Black, Crimson Red and Arctic White.

ZXMoto 500RR

Moving up to the supersport category, one of the main attractions of the ZXMoto 500RR is its single-sided swingarm, which gives the sportbike a distinctive look. The ZXMoto 500RR features a 470.2cc inline four-cylinder, 16-valve liquid-cooled engine, producing 84 horsepower at 13,500rpm and 46Nm at 11,500rpm. The engine uses a 59mm x 43mm bore and stroke, with a higher 12.9:1 compression ratio. It is paired with a chain final drive and wet multi-plate slipper clutch.

The suspension package is also more adjustable compared with the 500F. Up front, the 500RR uses 41mm upside-down forks with fully adjustable preload and damping, while the rear monoshock also offers fully adjustable preload and damping. Braking comes from 320mm dual floating discs at the front and a 240mm single disc at the rear, supported by dual-channel ABS.

The 500RR uses 120/70 ZR17 front and 180/55 ZR17 rear tyres mounted on aluminium alloy cast wheels. Its chassis is built around a One-Piece Steel Trellis Frame. The motorcycle has a 795mm seat height and 170kg kerb weight, making it slightly lighter than the 500F.

More technology for the 500RR as ZXMoto gives the 500RR a more extensive electronics package, with the sportbike featuring a TFT display, USB charging port and LED lighting system. Riders get five riding modes, including Sport, Street, Rain and two customisable modes. The supersport also features a bidirectional quickshifter, Bluetooth connectivity, Cruise Control System (CCS), 6-Axis IMU, Cornering ABS and Cornering Traction Control.

The 500RR also comes with racing-oriented functions such as Launch Control, acceleration recording, lap time recording and lean-angle recording. ZXMoto claims that the 500RR is capable of reaching a maximum speed of around 235km/h and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in around 3.4 seconds. For the Malaysian market, the 500RR is available in Nitro Red, Onyx Black and Frost White.

With the launch of the 500F and 500RR, ZXMoto now has two four-cylinder models competing in different parts of Malaysia’s 500cc motorcycle market. All ZXMoto models will be available in Malaysia starting October 2026.
