  • Gear Torques: Zeekr 009 - A different take on modern luxury
    Jan 12 2026

    Luxury doesn’t always come in the form of a low, sleek sedan. Sometimes, it arrives tall, quiet, and designed around the people sitting inside.

    In this Season 2 opener of Gear Torques, Dan Koh takes a closer look at the Zeekr 009, a fully electric luxury MPV that’s challenging long-held ideas of what premium family and executive transport should be. From its dual-motor performance and large battery to its lounge-like interior, advanced safety systems, and real-world ownership considerations in Singapore, this episode explores everything you need to know about this apartment on wheels.

    Drawing from verified specifications, independent reviews, and Dan’s own time behind the wheel, this is a balanced look at where the Zeekr 009 fits, and where it might not.

    Sep 12 2025

    For 35 years, the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy has been more than just a motorcycle. It’s been a cultural icon. From its silver-screen debut in Terminator 2 to its unmistakable presence on the road, it’s a machine that demands attention.

  • Gear Torques: Mercedes AMG-G 63 - From military roots to red carpet roads
    Aug 29 2025

    The Mercedes-AMG G 63 wasn’t always a luxury icon. What started out in the late 1970s as a no-nonsense military vehicle has transformed into a global status symbol, now as common on city streets as it once was in rugged terrain. But with its boxy silhouette, thunderous V8, and sky-high price tag, is the G 63 still about capability, or has it become all about image?

    In Episode 5 of Gear Torques, Dan Koh unpacks the fascinating evolution of the G-Wagon, explores its specs in everyday terms, and weighs whether the reality of driving one lives up to the legend. Tune in to find out if the G 63 is truly timeless, or just nostalgia wrapped in luxury.

  • Gear Torques: Honda Africa Twin - Built for the wild but does it fit the city
    Aug 27 2025

    Big bikes can be intimidating, tall, heavy, and often impractical. But the Honda Africa Twin has long been the exception, bringing a balance of adventure capability and everyday usability. In Episode 4 of Gear Torques, Dan Koh takes a closer look at the 2025 Honda Africa Twin, a motorcycle that promises both long-distance touring comfort and off-road confidence.

    From its 1,084cc parallel-twin engine and advanced electronics to practical features like adjustable suspension and rider aids, Dan breaks down what all of this actually means in real-world terms. Can you commute on it? Is it too tall for the average rider? And how does it stack up in Singapore’s context, where the adventure is often more about traffic than trails?

    Join in the ride as Dan weighs the pros and cons of Honda’s flagship adventure bike, and find out if the Africa Twin is the do-it-all motorcycle it claims to be.

    In Episode 2 of Gear Torques, Dan Koh throws a leg over the Ducati Panigale V4S — a machine that looks like it belongs on a MotoGP grid, but somehow has license plates. It’s beautiful. It’s loud. And it’s very, very fast. But is it too much bike for daily life? Or is that exactly the point?

    From commutes to corners, Dan unpacks what this Italian superbike offers in real-world riding. Is it practical or punishing? Does all that power ever get a chance to stretch its legs in Singapore? And how does it stack up for riders who don’t live on racetracks?
