Modenas CT series
type of motorcycle
Modenas CT series is a series of underbone motorcycles produced by Malaysian motorcycle manufacturer, Modenas. The CT were first launched in 2009 as a legitimate successor of the popular Modenas Kriss series. Before the CT was developed, another underbone model known as Modenas Kristar was produced in 2004 but the production ended two years later due to lack of appeal. The 100 cc and 110 cc engines derived from the Kriss series remain unchanged, but with the addition of a decompression mechanism for the 110 cc model to ease starting.
In 2011, an electric version of the CT known as the Modenas CTric was launched, making the CTric as the first all-electric motorcycle being sold in Malaysia.
In 2013, the fuel-injected version of the CT was launched in Greece as Modenas Kriss 125i EFI. The fuel-injected model is later released for Malaysian domestic market as Modenas 118EFI.
Model history
The CT was debuted on 23 October 2009 for the 110 cc model. It features an all-new design developed in-house by Modenas, with the exception of the AN110 engine developed by Kawasaki. Later, the 100 cc model was released on 13 February 2010, with same MB100 engine derived from Kriss 100. Both models have a 5.3-liter fuel tank each, which is claimed by Modenas as the largest among underbone motorcycles at that time, before being surpassed by the 2012 Honda Future 125.
Modenas CTric (2011-present)
In 2010, Modenas developed an electric motorcycle model through a partnership with Universiti Sains Malaysia.

Why this record matters
The phrase “type of motorcycle” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6888468. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2009, 2004, 2011 and 2013.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
