Honda
Wave Alpha 110
Boon Siew
Honda officially launched the Honda Wave Alpha motorcycle in Malaysia today.
The new kapcai is basically an improved version of the Honda Wave 110 that was
introduced here in May 2013. “The Urban Dominator” comes with updated and
sportier styling plus improved performance over its predecessor.
The 109.1
cc four-stroke OHC engine remains, but it now makes 8.43 PS at 7,500 rpm and
8.59 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. To compare, the old Wave 110 pushed out 7.67 PS
and 8.32 Nm at 3,500 rpm. The Alpha has both kick and electric starters.
The
four-speed constant mesh gearbox remains, along with identical gear ratios. Two
versions of the Wave Alpha are available, one with spoke wheels and a front
drum brake and one with cast wheels and a front disc brake. The latter weighs
98 kg with a full tank, one kg more than the drum brake version.
