Cyclone RT5 Officially Arrives in Malaysia – A Premium 247cc Maxi Scooter Built for Everyday Adventures

The wait is over. The all-new Cyclone RT5 has officially arrived in the Malaysian market, bringing a new level of technology, comfort and practicality to the 250cc-class maxi-scooter segment.

Priced at RM16,888, the Cyclone RT5 is designed for riders looking for more than just a daily commuter. With its larger 247cc engine, generous 18-litre fuel tank, advanced rider-assistance features and comfortable maxi-scooter design, the RT5 is equally suited to city commuting and longer-distance touring.

A 247cc Maxi Scooter with Touring in Mind

At the heart of the Cyclone RT5 is a 246.9cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine producing approximately 26 hp and 24.5 Nm of torque.

The engine is paired with an automatic CVT transmission and belt drive, giving the RT5 the convenience expected from a modern scooter while providing enough performance for highway and long-distance riding.

One of the RT5's biggest advantages is its 18-litre fuel tank. Combined with its touring-oriented design, the large tank is particularly useful for riders who frequently travel longer distances and prefer fewer fuel stops.

Technology Designed Around the Rider

The Cyclone RT5 comes equipped with an impressive range of technology rarely found together in this price range.

The scooter features a colour TFT display, traction control, dual-channel ABS, tyre-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and front-and-rear dash cameras.

Another standout feature is Blind Spot Detection (BSD), adding an additional layer of awareness when changing lanes or riding in busy traffic. Smartphone connectivity through Carbit Ride is also available.

The RT5 also features an electrically adjustable windscreen, electrically folding side mirrors and a motorised centre stand, making everyday ownership more convenient.

Comfort for City Riding and Long-Distance Touring

The Cyclone RT5 is built around a comfortable maxi-scooter riding position, with a 755 mm seat height according to Cyclone Malaysia's official specifications.

Its suspension consists of a telescopic front fork and twin rear shock absorbers, while braking is handled by front and rear disc brakes with ABS.

The RT5 rides on a 15-inch front wheel with a 120/70 tyre and a 14-inch rear wheel with a 140/60 tyre, providing a stable platform for both urban riding and longer journeys.

With a dry weight of 190 kg and a 1,545 mm wheelbase, the RT5 has the substantial road presence expected from a larger maxi scooter.

Premium Features Without the Premium Price Tag

What makes the Cyclone RT5 particularly interesting is the combination of equipment and pricing.

At RM16,888, riders get a 247cc maxi scooter equipped with features such as:

  • TFT digital display
  • Front and rear dash cameras
  • Blind Spot Detection
  • Traction Control System
  • Dual-channel ABS
  • Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
  • Electrically adjustable windscreen
  • Electrically folding side mirrors
  • Motorised centre stand
  • USB Type-A and Type-C charging
  • 18-litre fuel tank
  • Smartphone connectivity

The RT5 is available in Prestige Black, Strong Grey and Alabaster White for the Malaysian market.

A New Choice for Malaysian Scooter Riders

The arrival of the Cyclone RT5 gives Malaysian riders another interesting option in the growing mid-capacity scooter market.

It combines the convenience of an automatic scooter with the size, performance and touring capability expected from a larger motorcycle. For riders who commute during the week but enjoy weekend trips and longer-distance rides, the RT5 offers a compelling all-round package.

Whether you're looking for a practical daily scooter, a comfortable touring machine, or simply a feature-packed 250cc-class maxi scooter, the Cyclone RT5 is certainly a model worth checking out.
