Rapido Malaysia today marked a historic milestone in its journey from local innovation to global recognition, successfully hosting its first-ever exclusive media meet and greet session with Moto3 riders. The event signifies Rapido’s official leap onto the world stage through its strategic partnership with BOE Motorsports in the upcoming 2025 Moto3 World Championship.
Held at The Zenith Hotel Putrajaya, the event brought together media representatives, industry partners, and motorcycle racing enthusiasts for an engaging session with Moto3 riders Cormac Buchanan and Ruche Moodley, alongside Rapido’s management and racing development team. The gathering underscored Rapido’s growing commitment not only to international motorsport development, but also to strengthening ties with Malaysia’s motorcycle community and media partners.
New Product Launch: Race-Ready Engineering for Real Riders
In conjunction with the event, Rapido Malaysia unveiled three new performance products engineered to deliver both racing precision and everyday street performance.
1. Rapido 628 CNC Casting Rim for Yamaha NVX V3
The first plug-and-play performance sport rim in Malaysia designed for standard road use without modifications. Built using advanced CNC casting technology, it delivers improved durability, responsiveness, and stability for superior handling.
2. Rapido x CKJ Racing Ultra-Light Racing Pulley Pin
Jointly developed with CKJ Racing, this ultra-light pulley pin minimizes rotational mass for sharper CVT throttle response and acceleration. It’s the go-to upgrade for riders seeking race-level performance in daily rides.
3. Rapido x CKJ Racing Front Fork Spring
Engineered from actual race feedback, this suspension upgrade enhances rebound control and cornering stability, giving riders more confidence during aggressive riding and track use.
These products reflect Rapido’s mission to bridge race technology with street performance, delivering cutting-edge engineering directly to everyday riders.
