Following the launch of its adventure-touring duo, MForce Bike Holdings has also launched a new entry-level street bike from Morbidelli, known as the 2026 Morbidelli F252.
This naked sportsbike comes in two colourways—Bulk Black and Tundra White—both priced at RM14,888 sans road tax, insurance, or registration. As standard, the bike comes with a 2-year unlimited mileage manufacturer warranty.
Same 249-cc Engine as the T252X
As its name suggests, the F252 uses the same 249-cc two-cylinder four-stroke liquid-cooled DOHC engine as the T252X tourer, producing 33.9 PS (25 kW) at 12,000 rpm and 20 Nm at 10,000 rpm.
Power is then transmitted to the rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox supported by a slipper clutch assist and chain final drive. No throttle-by-wire can be found in this entry-level street bike, as it comes with a mechanical throttle system instead.
Stopping power is provided by a floating single disc at the front and a single disc at the rear with dual-channel ABS support. Other hardware primed to the F252 include an upside-down telescopic front fork, a pro-link rear monoshock absorber with adjustable preload, and 17-inch wheels with a 110/70R17 tyre at the front and 150/60R17 at the rear.
Feature-Forward Entry-Level Naked Bike
Despite its small engine size, the new F252 is packed with features that one expected to find in a more expensive bike.
Some key highlights include full LED lights on both ends, a 5-inch TFT metre display, three selectable riding modes (Standard, Sport, and Expert), traction control (TCS), Morbidelli app connectivity with Bluetooth functionality, two USB charging ports (Type-A and Type-C), and a mechanical key entry system with a side stand safety switch.
Size-wise, the F252 is on par with many other sub-250-cc naked bikes out there, featuring a wheelbase of 1,375 mm and a ground clearance of 160 mm, while its seat height measures at 790 mm. With a 15-litre fuel tank, the whole bike tips the scale at 170 kg.
