Zongshen Cyclone Highlights Four Key Models for 2025, Blending Style, Tech and Everyday Practicality

From beginner-friendly cruisers to intelligent mid-range machines, Cyclone’s 2025 lineup reflects the brand’s evolving global ambition. As part of its 2025 strategic lineup, Chinese motorcycle manufacturer Zongshen Cyclone is placing the spotlight on four key models: the AQS401, RX600, YOMI, and CUBE. Let’s take a closer look at what these four motorcycles bring to the table.

AQS401: Mid-displacement Cruiser with a Beginner-Friendly Edge

The AQS401 is powered by a 401cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine paired with a second-generation AMT automatic transmission that allows both automatic (D mode) and manual (M mode) paddle shifting. It produces a max power of 33kW and 36.7Nm of torque, achieving 0–100km/h in just 6 seconds. The muscular body styling is complemented by a full-color TFT dashboard with integrated T-box connectivity, offering remote tracking, ride records, and theft alerts. Dual-channel ABS and TCS systems round out the safety tech. A great choice for younger riders who want the cruiser look without the manual workload.  

RX600: V-Twin Character with Smart Details and a Softail Look

The RX600 is equipped with a 550cc parallel-twin engine delivering 43.5kW and 55Nm, capable of 0–100km/h in 5.2 seconds and reaching a top speed of 170km/h. Available in both Modern and Bobber versions, it features a floating solo seat, dual side-mounted exhausts, and signature softail-style design cues. Smart features include a TFT screen with T-box connectivity, dual-channel ABS and TCS, slipper clutch, full LED lighting, and adjustable handlebars. Cyclone also backs it with a 5-year/50,000 km warranty and one-year price protection—making it a solid contender in the mid-size cruiser segment.  

YOMI: A Stylish Mini Cruiser for City Life

Weighing just 113kg with a 650mm seat height, the YOMI is ideal for beginner riders or anyone looking for a light, easy-to-handle urban cruiser. Powered by a 123.7cc single-cylinder engine with CVT transmission, it delivers 5.8kW of power and 7.9Nm of torque. The EVO version includes a balance shaft for smoother performance, and both variants come with dual-channel ABS (EVO adds TCS). The EVO also includes a smart LCD dashboard with T-box functions like tracking and vibration alerts. Retro Chopper styling with chrome touches and multiple color options give the YOMI strong visual appeal for urban riders.

CUBE: Tech-Forward Urban Scooter with Futuristic Vibes

With a distinctive “mecha dog” design, the CUBE is a 149cc CVT scooter that blends sharp aesthetics with practical features. It produces 11.5kW of power and 14.5Nm of torque, topping out at 106km/h. Lightweight at just 120kg with a 720mm seat height, it’s nimble for city use. Features include a capsule-style LED instrument panel with full T-box connectivity, USB charging port, LED projector headlamp, auto start/stop, and togglable TCS. The semi-slick tires and powerful ABS brakes ensure confident stopping in varied conditions. With its unique looks and user-friendly features, the CUBE is designed for younger, trend-conscious riders.

Choli by MyDesiStyle Brings a Fresh Perspective to Indian Fashion in Malaysia

 

Most Malaysian Indian boutiques primarily sell traditional silks and heavy bridal wear, but Choli by MyDesiStyle (or Choli, as it’s known to regulars) is determined to carve a lane of its own. Their venture is rooted in culture, yet shaped by modern trends. They have a one-of-a-kind store that offers fashionable pieces while retaining the charm and grandeur of Indian fabrics. 

Founded by husband-and-wife duo Preya and Nav, Choli is more than just a retail store. It’s a boutique, a creative space, and above all, a place where customers can feel at ease. There’s no pressure to shop fast and pick the wrong items — their helpful staff understands the importance of picking the right wedding clothes and make it a priority to help in the best way. Every piece is created with intention, and every shopping experience is designed to be calm, personal, and welcoming. 

What began with Preya’s earlier fashion business — and Nav’s strength in operations — has now grown into a family-run brand that reflects their shared values: authenticity, attention to detail, and care for the customer. Even with a young child in tow, they remain hands-on with every design and every client.

Your Bespoke Wedding Outfit Partner

Rather than offering off-the-rack generic items, Choli intentionally keeps more semi-stitched or unstitched items in-store. They want their customers to have full freedom to create a fit that’s uniquely theirs and doesn’t look like what everyone else is wearing at events.

To help their customers realize their vision for the perfect lehenga or sherwani for their big day, Choli has a full-time in-house tailoring team, led by a master tailor who understands both classic techniques and modern trends. His expertise spans everything from fabric cutting, alterations, kurta refitting, saree fall finishing, full custom builds for lehengas, punjabi suits, and sarees from raw materials. Tailoring is not just an add-on here — it’s the core of the experience. 

Each customer works directly with the tailoring team to bring their ideal outfit to life. And every blouse and custom piece is personally checked by Preya and Nav to ensure a perfect finish.

So when customers say Choli clothes “fit like a dream,” it’s because they actually do.

On a tight timeline? There’s also a curated collection of ready-to-wear Indo-Western suits, Punjabi suits, Shararas, Anarkalis, and Readymade Sarees. perfect for wedding receptions, temple events, ROMs, pujas, or last-minute events.

From Brides to Grooms to Guests

While Choli first started out focusing on bridal lehengas and sarees, the boutique has now expanded its range to include groomswear, guestwear, and everyday ethnic styles with a modern twist. They have blossomed into quite a “one-stop shop” for every type of Indian clothing. Now their service offerings include:

Making custom sherwanis and Indo-Western looks for grooms

Stylish kurta sets for men and women

Casual-to-dressy outfits for temple events, pujas, ROMs, and wedding receptions

A ready-to-wear collection that includes Punjabi suits, anarkalis, shararas, and their new Readymade Sarees — perfect for last-minute occasions

Their tailoring team also handles saree fall finishing, blouse stitching, kurta refits, and full custom builds for lehengas, sarees, and suits made from in-store fabric.

When people say Choli outfits “fit like a dream,” it’s because they truly do.

Transparent Pricing You Can Trust

Choli has built strong customer loyalty not just through its thoughtful designs, but also through its clear and honest pricing.

There’s no guesswork, no inflated rates, and no pressure. Just high-quality fabric, fair pricing, and consistent service.

Here’s what to expect:

Bridal Lehengas – RM800 to RM2,500

Lightweight/Party Lehengas – RM420 to RM880

Saree Materials – RM280 to RM780

Punjabi Suits & Indo-Western Sets – RM280 to RM580
