The Petronas MAM Malaysian Cub Prix Championship will introduce a new Open Class Scooter Race category for the 2027 season, expanding its racing programme to include automatic motorcycles with engine capacities ranging from 140cc to 185cc. Presented by race organiser Safe Aim Mutual Sdn Bhd, the new category aims to bring a fresh dimension to the national racing series, with riders competing on production-based automatic motorcycles without manual gearboxes.
The class will be open to all eligible scooter models within the specified engine capacity range, with Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and Modenas expected to feature on the starting grid. Scooters from Chinese and European manufacturers are also eligible, provided they meet the technical regulations.
