Entering the Malaysia market quietly under
the radar in November last year ahead of an official product launch is the 2020
Aveta motorcycle brand. As a wholly Malaysian-owned brand, Aveta is owned by
Aveta Global Marketing and targeted at the cost conscious side of the bike
market with two models in the Aveta range – the DY90 at RM 2,888 and the RX110
at RM 4,039.
A source inside the industry informed
paultan.org 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 hp at 8,000 rpm and 5.7 Nm of torque at between 5,500 to 6,000
rpm. Power gets to the ground 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 for the
younger rider, the RX110 comes with a single-cylinder, air-cooled engine
displacing 110 cc, with power at 7.8 hp 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. Our source tells us Aveta Global
prefers to take a low key approach to market penetration.
