The second edition builds on the success of last year’s inaugural event in with a 150-kilometre off-road challenge in Gerik 

Gerik, Perak, 26 September 2026 – Motosikal dan Enjin Nasional Sdn. Bhd. (“MODENAS”), a member of the DRB-HICOM Group, brought together 393 riders from across Malaysia for the second Kawasaki Megatrail Fun Ride, held on 26 September 2026.

The participants were flagged off at Dataran Amanjaya Lawin in Gerik, Perak, and tackled a 150-kilometre route comprising forest trails, steep hills, rocky paths and river crossings. The riders were supported by route guides, motorcycle recovery teams, emergency medical personnel and designated fuelling checkpoints.

The event returned for a second year following strong demand and community support after the inaugural edition in Jerantut, Pahang, last year.

Kawasaki Megatrail forms part of MODENAS’ efforts to grow Malaysia’s Kawasaki adventure community through real-world riding experiences. The event allows owners to experience their motorcycles beyond the showroom, build riding confidence and connect with other riders who share their passion for adventure.

This year’s edition placed the Kawasaki KLE500 at the centre of the experience, with 23 KLE500 owners taking on the Megatrail challenge. Selected members of the Malaysian motoring media also joined the owners, experiencing the versatility of the middleweight adventure motorcycle across a range of riding conditions.

“The strong response to our first Kawasaki Megatrail showed us that Malaysian riders want more opportunities to develop their skills, explore new terrain and connect with the wider Kawasaki community,” said Roslan Roskan, Chief Executive Officer of MODENAS.

“The Kawasaki Megatrail brings those elements together while giving owners the opportunity to experience our motorcycles in the environment for which they were made. For our new KLE500 owners, this is how we bring product enjoyment to life and create a more meaningful ownership journey.”

Beyond the off-road challenge, participants took part in a treasure hunt featuring 50 hidden Kawasaki flags, with each flag redeemable for RM50. Three special challenges were also held along the route, with the first 10 participants to complete all three receiving mystery prizes worth RM100 each.

The event’s lucky draw was headlined by a brand-new Kawasaki KLE500 as the grand prize, alongside other prizes bringing the total value to almost RM50,000. The programme also included meals, camping facilities, a BBQ session and finisher recognition.

MODENAS extends its appreciation to the government agencies, organising team, marshals, route guides, medical and motorcycle recovery personnel who supported the event. Appreciation also goes to event sponsors and strategic partners ASMAX, GIVI, MAXXIS, Holeshot, Anak Rantau Garage, Cikgu Azizan and Monster Energy Drink.

Kawasaki Megatrail Fun Ride 2026 reinforces MODENAS’ commitment to developing Malaysia’s adventure riding segment through practical riding experiences, stronger community engagement and motorcycles designed to support exploration both on and off the road.
