For those wanting the open-air experience of a
motorcycle but prefer a little more front end tyre grip, the 2019 Adiva
AD3-400 might fit the bill. Coming in two versions,
the AD3-400 base version retails at RM 38,800 and the alloy wheel model which
adds RM 1,650 to the price for a total of RM 40,450.
While roofed scooters are not new in the motorcycle
market, the AD3-400 is a true convertible, with the roof able to be folded and
stowed in the rear cargo compartment. As a leaning scooter, the AD3-400 uses
two wheels in front connected to a double wishbone suspension.
The AD3-400’s engine forms
part of the rear swing arm, which is suspended by twin shock absorbers
five-step adjustable for preload. The front wishbone arms which allow for the
leaning action of a true motorcycle use a single shock absorber nestled in
between the arm links.
Power for the AD3-400 comes from a single-cylinder,
liquid-cooled OHC power plant that displaces 399 cc and produces 36.7 hp at
7,250 rpm and 38.1 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. Fed by EFI, the AD3-400 carries
fuel in an 11-litre tank and transmission is CVT.
Rolling on 13-inch wheels in front and a 14-inch
hoop in the back, braking on the Adiva AD3-400 is done with twin 220 mm
diameter discs in front and a single 230 mm diameter disc on the rear wheel.
There are five colour choices available for the AD3-400 – Black, Blue, Graphite,
Red and White.
