Malaysian brand Aveta seems intent on conquering the recreational off-road motorcycle market, with a pair of enduro bikes seen testing in Rawang, Selangor. Enquiries yielded information Aveta will be releasing a pair of enduro bikes soon, in the 250 cc category. From photos, these are the Aveta VTM250LX and VTM250M, with single-cylinder engine configuration. The VTM250LX is pure off-roader, with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel, while the VTM250M follows supermotard styling with 17-inch wheels front and rear.
Suspension is done with upside-down forks
with an adjustable monoshock at the rear. Braking, as can be seen, uses single
hydraulic discs front and rear while ABS is available on the VTM250M,
switchable for off-road duty.
Engine power is likely to be 18 hp from
the air-cooled engine, along with something like 18 Nm of torque. Power goes to
the rear wheel via chain drive and a six-speed gearbox, as is typical for
enduro motorcycles in this class.
As to when the Aveta VTM250LX and VTM250M
will be officially launched, a source tells us it will be in October. Taking a
likely guess at pricing, the VTM250LX and VTM250M will probably be “priced
below the RM 20,000 price point.”
