According to industry sources, MForce Bike Holdings, the official distributor of QJMOTOR in Malaysia, is currently evaluating the model for local introduction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>High-Revving Performance at a Lower Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Info gathered from their <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/global.qjmotor.com\/car.html?id=327\">official website<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/upload\/2025\/06\/06f3eaa668ad8969a9c1c8f1dfe67241.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A Global Strategy with Local Appeal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">QJMOTOR has developed the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/global.qjmotor.com\/car.html?id=327\">SRK 250 RD<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If launched locally, the SRK 250 RD is expected to be priced below <strong>RM23,000<\/strong>, undercutting the <strong>RM33,900 <\/strong>price tag of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R by a substantial margin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Will It Come to Malaysia?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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&rsquo;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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For now, we&rsquo;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.<\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/global.qjmotor.com_142571.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">QJMOTOR<\/a><br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=qjmotor-srk-250-rd-to-rival-kawasaki-ninja-zx25r-in-malaysia\" rel=\"nofollow\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Address:<\/strong>No. 169 Jimping Rd.
