Aveta Malaysia

Cikgu Ben Zaid, affectionately known as Cikgu Offroad rides the Aveta Ranger Max Explorer.

Aveta Malaysia, the local motorcycle manufacturer, assembler, and distributor of the Aveta motorcycles presented Aveta Ranger Max Explorer all-terrain motorbikes to assist Cikgu Ben Zaid and two of his teaching colleagues in their effort to educate children in a remote Orang Asli community in Kelantan during. The “Off-Road Education Outreach: Teachers Rally with Aveta” handover ceremony was held at the Royale Chulan hotel in Mutiara Damansara yesterday.

Cikgu Ben Zaid and his colleagues traverse 60km of rough timber roads and jungle trails to reach and teach children of the Orang Asli community in Pos Balar, Kelantan, each weekend. Their journey into the interior takes around 3 hours under favourable weather. However, the trails would become treacherous during the rainy season, turning their journey into a 10-hour slog.

‘Cikgu Offroad’ as he is known on social media, recorded and shared videos of the teachers’ epic roundtrips to and from remote Orang Asli communities. As such, many Malaysian netizens contacted Aveta to highlight Cikgu Ben and his colleagues’ efforts following the launch of the Aveta Ranger Max Explorer in November 2023. They suggested that the company’s new motorbike’s off-road capabilities would greatly help the teachers in their trailblazing educational journeys into the jungle.

“Teaching my students in Pos Balar is a privilege which I gladly accept. No doubt there are challenges which we face in our teaching travels. However, education is crucial to enable everyone to participate in our country’s progress and this fuels me for my journeys. I am grateful to my channel subscribers who highlighted my mission to Aveta Malaysia and thankful to Aveta for the support that they are giving. There is no doubt that this donation will really help us to focus on our teaching responsibilities,” said Cikgu Ben Zaid at the handover ceremony.

He added, “The Ranger Max Explorer’s off-road features, including the double piston disc brake, dual-purpose tires, and high ground clearance, make our journeys to and from school a lot smoother. The patented double T-bone design ensures excellent stability and easy handling. Plus, the impressive loading capacity lets my colleagues and me carry more equipment and supplies for the children on each trip.”

Steven Lim, Managing Director of Aveta Malaysia, said “When we unveiled our Ranger Max Explorer, we received an outpouring of messages and comments from netizens, all highlighting the admirable dedication of Cikgu Ben and his fellow educators. Venturing off-road is a daunting feat, with only a select few motorcycles possessing the versatility for such endeavours. Amidst challenging terrain that tests both vehicle and driver, the perseverance of these teachers in educating Orang Asli children is truly inspiring. Their noble efforts moved us deeply, compelling us to lend a hand. With these three specially-equipped bikes, tailored precisely for this rugged terrain, we aim to alleviate the burdens of Cikgu Ben and his team, allowing them to focus wholeheartedly on their educational mission. Additionally, we are providing them with a 2-year warranty giving them peace of mind as they embark on their important educational trips. We hope this donation will make a valuable contribution to the education of the Orang Asli children in Pos Balar.” 

Steven continued, “The Malay saying goes ‘guru bagaikan pelita’. Teachers like Cikgu Ben and many across the country do their best to educate the next generation of Malaysian talents and prepare them for the future. As a Malaysian company through and through, we feel it is important to support them in their nation-building effort.” 

The Aveta Ranger Max Explorer excels in off-road conditions thanks to its impressive ground clearance and versatile dual-purpose tires. The bike features multi-spoke rims, and a sturdy, partially-exposed, patented double T-bone frame, along with an extra-large fuel tank. Comfort is enhanced by telescopic forks at the front and dual gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear.

Aveta Malaysia Sdn Bhd is enhancing its customer care efforts with the launch of the ‘Aveta Care on Wheels’ program. As more people rely on Aveta motorcycles, the company prioritizes customer ownership experience.

Baru-baru ini kami dijemput menghadiri sesi menguji motosikal moped terbaru keluaran Aveta Malaysia, Aveta SVR 180.

Awalnya kami sendiri agak skeptikal dengan kemampuan SVR 180 tersebut namun setelah diberi kesempatan, ini antara rumusan yang kami boleh kongsikan.

Reka bentuk

Tak dinafikan, Aveta SVR 180 menawarkan reka bentuk yang menarik dengan bahagian depan yang tampak agresif ala Kawasaki Z1000.

Ciri lampu LED depan dan belakang serta penggunaan skrin digital LCD berwarna juga menyerlahkan imej sebuah kapcai moden. 

Kuasa

Aveta SVR 180 menghasilkan 16.7hp pada 8,500rpm dan 15.5Nm pada 7,000rpm. Apa yang kami boleh katakan, kuasa yang dihasilkan enjin 175cc DOHC dengan penyejukan cecair itu sememangnya cukup baik. 

Namun, prestasi penuh enjin satu silinder itu hanya akan hadir atas 4,000rpm. Lebih menarik, bunyi enjin yang dihasilkan ekzos stok juga agak agresif.

Transmisi 6-kelajuan juga beroperasi dengan lancar namun dengan hanya menunggang selama 10 minit tak cukup untuk berikan konklusi yang tepat.

Keselesaan

Reka bentuk tempat duduk SVR 180 menyamai model ‘supermoped’ lain dalam pasaran. Ini menjadikan SVR 180 sesuai untuk kegunaan harian. 

Namun, untuk tunggangan jarak jauh, bahagian pinggul mungkin akan terasa kebas kerana kusyen SVR 180 agak keras.

Praktikal

Sebagai sebuah supermoped, SVR 180 menawarkan ciri praktikal antaranya kehadiran port pengecas USB. Ciri tersebut memudahkan penunggang untuk mengecas telefon pintar sewaktu menunggang. Ini secara tidak langsung juga menjadikan SVR 180 sesuai untuk membuat kerja-kerja penghantaran (delivery). 

Selain itu, motosikal tersebut juga jimat minyak di samping didatangkan dengan tangki 6.6 – kedua terbesar dalam segmen ‘supermoped selepas SYM VF3i -, lebih besar dari Yamaha Y16 (5.6L) dan Honda RSX (4.5L).

Kualiti

Sebagai jenama baharu, kualiti sesebuah motosikal itu paling menjadi keutamaan. 

Namun, Aveta sebenarnya menjenamakan semula motosikal Rato dari China dan dipasang di sini. 

Rato merupakan sebahagian daripada Chongqin Rato Group dan bertanggungjawab menghasilkan motosikal sejak tahun 2007 lagi.

Walaupun masih baru, Aveta menjual antara 1,000 hingga 1,500 unit motosikal setiap bulan. Bagi syarikat yang baru bertapak sejak 2019, angka itu agak mengagumkan.

Kami juga diberi jaminan bahawa selain komponen berkualiti dan tahan lasak, servis selepas jualan dan alat ganti juga tersedia sekiranya diperlukan pelanggan.

Harga

Sebagai sebuah jenama baharu, halangan utama adalah memecah dominasi jenama yang lebih terkemuka.

Atas faktor itu, harga memainkan peranan besar jika mahu beri saingan.

Namun, Aveta SVR 180 ditawarkan pada harga RM9,998, lebih mahal dari Honda RSX (RM8,688) dan Yamaha Y15ZR (RM8,498). 

Namun, berbanding Y15ZR yang kemungkinan besar lebih mahal di kedai motosikal, SVR 180 pula kekal dijual pada harga sama.

Malah, pengguna tidak perlu menunggu lama untuk mendapatkan motosikal baharu kerana rata-rata SVR 180 memang tersedia (readystock) di pasaran. 

Rumusan

Aveta SVR 180 tidak dinafikan sebuah motosikal kapcai yang dibina dan dipasang dengan baik dan tidak rasa seperti sebuah motosikal rendah kualiti.

Untuk betul-betul rasa tertarik, perlu rasai sendiri kemampuan Aveta SVR 180 tersebut. 

Kami sendiri skeptikal pada awalnya namun setelah merasai sendiri, pandangan kami juga mula beralih.

If you are wondering what Aveta is, fret not because you are not alone. Up until the point when we received the invite from Aveta to test ride their latest product, we had never heard of the brand before either.

So what is Aveta? Simply put, it is a Malaysian brand that localises China made motorcycles, specifically, it rebadges Rato motorcycles that are made in China.

Rato is part of the CHONGQIN Rato Group and has been building motorcycles and engines since 2007.

But the Aveta brand was born in Malaysia in 2019 to reassemble the motorcycles in Malaysia.

We all know what happened after 2019, so it is no wonder that not many have heard of the Aveta brand.

But the company persevered and survived the pandemic. Not only did it survive but it has introduced new models, and is currently selling about 1,000 – 1,500 new motorcycles a month. Which is an astonishing figure.

And the latest model to be added to its formidable stable on the local front is the SVR 180.

It looks like a Honda RS or RSX that has undergone a slimming program and is now leaner, but that 175cc engine is zippy and has a rev happy character.

It produces about 17hp and 15.5Nm of torque and comes with a 6.6-litre fuel tank. We only got to ride it for about four kilometers, so there really is no telling whether it sips or chugs fuel. A longer test ride is needed to ascertain that.

That rev happy engine is connected to a six-speed multi-plate gearbox. And the powertrain only has to manage a 113kg package. Our 80kg rider came away singing praises about the engine so that says a lot about its capability.

Stopping power is provided by discs front and rear while suspension duties is managed by a telescopic fork up front and a monoshock at the rear.

In terms of features, the SVR 180 comes with a digital LED screen and a USB socket that is able to charge a phone on the move, which gives it a level or practicality that is well suited to the urban environment or for food delivery riders who are always on the go and need their gadgets constantly charged.

At RM9,980, the Aveta SVR 180 seems to check all the boxes. You may think that the price is quite expensive, and you would not be wrong either because at that price point, there’s quite a lot of options from the competition from Japan.

But if you have not already heard, there’s a long waiting period for most motorcycles due to the global semi-conductor shortage, the Aveta SVR 180 though, is available immediately.
