Shah Alam, Friday, 2 December 2022 – Edaran Modenas Sdn Bhd (“EMOS” or “the Company”), the subsidiary of Motosikal dan Enjin Nasional Sdn Bhd (“MODENAS”) has received a five-star rating from the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (“MIROS”) under the Malaysian Motorcycle Assessment Programme (“MyMAP”), for its Modenas Ninja 250 ABS and Z250 ABS model.

Thanks to its Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and other technological aspect that both model share, such as the economical riding indicator, assist and slipper clutch, and ergo fit for lighter chassis management, MyMAP has officially awarded both models with a five-star rating under the programme prior to the assessment and audit process that MODENAS has gone thru in October 2022.

The MyMAP initiative is part of the Government’s ongoing efforts to promote safer motorcycles by the utilisation of safety technology on motorcycles and to enhance consumer awareness on safety riding for crash prevention. The programme has the same grading standards as the New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) and was also founded by the same people who created the ASEAN NCAP.

Roslan Roskan, Chief Executive Officer of MODENAS quoted, “this will be the first time for MODENAS to receive such recognition for its products. In addition, both models are the first motorcycles to receive the MyMAP 5-star rating in its class (250cc sports bike for Ninja and 250cc naked bike for Z250). By having so, we believe that it will help our customers to make a more informed purchase decision, especially on the importance of having advanced safety technology available on their motorcycles. In addition, MODENAS will continue to provide more safety features to its existing range of motorcycles.”
