The 2017 Honda Wave Alpha has received a minor model
update and comes in two models variants.
There is a drum brake and spoked wheels model that goes for RM 4,535.74 and the
disc brake and cast wheels variant which costs RM 4,927.74, with all prices
include GST.
New for 2017 is the Pearl Nightfall Blue colour
scheme, which complements the existing Pearl Magellanic Black and Vivacity Red
Wave Alpha models. A pillion grab rail is now standard on the disc brake Wave
Alpha.
Currently claimed to be the market leader in the
small-capacity kapchai market, the Honda Wave Alpha sports a 109.1 cc
air-cooled OHC single-cylinder mill powering a four-speed automatic clutch
gearbox. Power is listed at 8.3 hp at 7,500 rpm while torque is rated at 8.59
Nm at 5,500 rpm.
Certified as an energy efficient vehicle (EEV), the
Wave Alpha is touted as having better fuel economy than before, with fuel
carried in a 3.7-litre tank. A small cubby storage space under the seat is big
enough to hold small items such as sunglasses or a folded raincoat.
Coming with both an electric and kick-starter, the
Honda Wave Alpha weighs in at 93 kg. The Wave Alpha is available at all Honda
Impian showrooms and authorised dealers from today.
