Modenas Z15GT supercub in several variants for 2026

Months after its debut in the Malaysia kapchai market, rumours emerged about the Modenas Z15GT supercub. Amongst these were there would be an automatic clutch variant of the Z15GT.

This was confirmed by Modenas Chief Executive Officer Roslan Raskan during a media visit to the Modenas factory in Gurun, Kedah. Roslan explained there are plans to expand the Z15GT model range, including an automatic clutch early in the product development cycle, with a target of launching it in the Malaysia market early next year.

Response from its research and development department indicated the entire system needed to be studied further, ad to determine if the gearbox should be a four-speed or five-speed unit. The process of installing an automatic clutch involves replacing the entire manual clutch unit, and producing a new engine clutch cover, requiring a new casting mould.

Modenas foresees the introduction of the automatic clutch version of the Z15GT will draw in more customers, notably those who look on the Z15GT as daily transport. Currently, the Z15GT has received widespread acceptance in the Malaysia market, notably in Kedah and Selangor.

Priced at RM8,288, the Modenas Z15GT was launched in Malaysia in October 2025. Powered by a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled mill displacing 149.5 cc the Z15GT produces 16.76 hp at 9,500 rpm, with 13.5 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm, going to the rear wheel via six-speed gearbox with manual clutch and chain final drive.
