X-Wedge set to debut in Malaysia: A new motorcycle brand inspired by American lifestyle

When it comes to high-displacement cruisers and iconic American lifestyle brands, Harley-Davidson is the name that comes to mind.

However, did you know that there is a new brand poised to compete with Harley-Davidson in the Malaysian market? Introducing X-Wedge.

For your information, X-Wedge is a motorcycle brand that originated in China under the auspices of Hisun Motors.

Hisun Motors initially started as a company responsible for producing powersports products, including utility task vehicles (UTVs) and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs).

But with X-Wedge, the focus has shifted toward creating larger displacement cruiser models reminiscent of Harley-Davidson.

Interestingly, KISKA Design is responsible for the design and styling of the X-Wedge models— the same company that developed designs for GasGas, Husqvarna, and KTM motorcycles.

At the X-Wedge showroom located in Chongqing, we had the opportunity to closely examine a range of models with engine displacements ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 cc, including:

  • Ranger RX2000
  • Rover RL2000
  • Voyager VS2000
  • Walker WR1000
  • Vanguard VT2000

The majority of X-Wedge models share a common V-Twin engine with a displacement of 1,976 cc, capable of producing 102 hp at 5,000 rpm and 158 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm.

Meanwhile, the Walker WR1000 features a liquid-cooled V-Twin engine with a displacement of 975 cc, generating 80 hp at 7,500 rpm and 80 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm.

In addition to its range of large-displacement motorcycles, X-Wedge also produces various lifestyle products, including helmets, leather jackets, riding boots, as well as accessories and customization services for motorcycle appearances.

This premium brand is expected to make its entry into the Malaysian market around July or August, through MForce Bike Holdings.

We have been informed that MForce is working to establish four X-Wedge exhibition centers located in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, and Sabah.
