Aveta SVR180 super moped goes on sale in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: The wholly Malaysian-owned brand Aveta entered the local automotive arena in 2020 to target the cost-conscious side of the bike market. First, it rolled out the DY90 at RM 2,888 and the RX110 at RM 4,039, while later on, the Aveta VS110 and V13R  joined the lineup at RM 3,588 and RM6,688, respectively. Well, now comes the brand’s first super moped, called the SVR180. 

Price

The all-new Aveta SVR180 price in Malaysia starts at RM 9,998 (excluding insurance and road tax). Included in the price is two years or 20,000 km manufacturer's warranty.

Engine

Touted as the “ultimate super moped” by the brand, the Aveta SVR180 is powered by a 175-cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC engine generating a maximum power of 16.8 hp at 8,500 rpm and a peak torque of 15.5 Nm at 8,500 rpm. The power is transmitted to the rear wheel by a six-speed gearbox paired with a final chain drive.

Design and features

Styling-wise, the front fascia of the bike looks inspired by the Kawasaki Z1000. It is kitted with an LED headlamp and integrated daytime running light. The bike rolls on 17-inch wheels shod with 90/80 front and 120/70 rear tyres and communicates the essential information to the rider with the help of a fully digital instrument cluster. Also part of the kit is a radiator guard and a USB charging outlet.

Suspension & braking

As for suspension, Aveta’ new motorcycle gets a telescopic fork at the front and a monoshock arrangement at the rear. The braking duties, on the other hand, are managed by disc brakes on both the axles. One thing which is quite disappointing on this front is the absence of the anti-lock braking system as it is likely to be compulsory among the kapcai segment in Malaysia.

Aveta offers the all-new SVR180 in four exciting colours - red, blue, cyan, and black. You can check out these in person at your nearest Aveta authorised outlets.
