Aveta to introduce three new models later this year
Paul Tan, 19 Aug '20
Aveta, a wholly Malaysian-owned motorcycle brand made a silent entry in the local market in November 2019. The brand is owned by Aveta Global Marketing. It is offering two models targeted at the low cost market: the DY90 and RX110, priced at MYR 2,888 (US$ 690) and MYR 4,039, respectively.
A source inside the industry informed a media outlet sales began in March of 2020 and thus far some 2,000 units of both models have been sold. If the design for the DY90 and RX110 look familiar to Malaysian riders, these two bikes are basically a rebadge of the models offered by now defunct Malaysian brand Demak.
Looking for all the world like a clone of the Honda EX5 Dream, the DY90 follows the traditional kapchai design closely. Power comes from a 90 cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled mill that produces 6.14 PS at 8,000 rpm and 5.7 Nm of torque at between 5,500 to 6,000 rpm.
Power is sent via a four-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Fuel is carried in a 3.5-litre tank and weight is claimed to be 103 kg, with the DY90 rolling on 17-inch wheels
As a slightly sportier model, the RX110 comes with a single-cylinder, air-cooled engine displacing 110 cc, with power at 7.8 PS at 7,800 rpm and torque at 7.8 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Weighing in at 123 kg, the RX110 carries fuel inside a 4.2-litre tank.
Aveta currently has plans to sell three new models in Malaysia, scheduled to be within a four to five month time frame. Source suggest that Aveta Global prefers to take a low key approach to market penetration.
