AMI Jadi Pengedar Baharu Jenama MV Agusta Di Malaysia?

Kebelakangan ini terdapat khabar angin bahawa jenama MV Agusta akan kembali ke Malaysia menerusi pengedar baharu.

Meskipun pada waktu itu siapakah pengedar dilantik masih kekal menjadi tanda tanya namun perkembangan terbaru beri bayangan bahawa AFY Mobility Industries Sdn Bhd (AMI) merupakan pihak yang bertanggungjawab membawa jenama itu semula ke Malaysia.

Ini kerana baru-baru ini AMI telah memeterai kerjasama dengan pihak Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) untuk membangunkan projek AM-2, iaitu projek pembangunan motosikal tempatan yang akan dilancarkan pada suku ketiga 2023.

Sewaktu perasmian kerjasama tersebut, tetamu kehormat yang hadir, Menteri Pembangunan Luar Bandar Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid bersama-sama Pengerusi Eksekutif Kumpulan AMI Ahmad Faez Yahaya telah bergambar dengan dua jentera MV Agusta, MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 dan MV Agusta F3.

Ini secara tidak langsung menguatkan dakwaan bahawa jenama motosikal dari Varese, Itali itu akan kembali bertapak di Malaysia.

Walaupun belum ada sebarang pengumuman rasmi setakat ini namun ternyata perkembangan ini amat menarik untuk segmen motosikal premium di Malaysia yang ketika ini di dominasi Ducati dan BMW.

Pada masa sama, sekiranya benar, kemasukan semula jenama MV Agusta menerusi pengedar baharu pastinya akan menggembirakan pemilik jenama Itali itu di Malaysia kerana adanya rangkaian pengedar dan servis selepas jualan yang kukuh selepas ini.

2021 MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Breaks Cover With Latest Upgrade

After announcing the updated Superveloce range for 2021, MV Agusta now proceeds to unveil the Turismo Veloce sport-touring range, including the Lusso, Lusso SCS, RC SCS, and Rosso.

Spurred primarily to meet Euro 5 emission standard, MV Agusta also updated the overall package of the Turismo Veloce.

The Turismo Veloce maintains the familiar 798cc inline-three with a counter-rotating crank. However, it gets a new intake for better low-end and mid-range power with MV claimed the powerplant now makes 110hp with a 12 per cent increase torque between 3,000-6,000rpm.

According to MV, the gearbox has been revised for lower revs to reduce vibration and optimized fuel consumption.

Not only that, but the Turismo Veloce also gets the same upgrade as the Superveloce with EAS 3.0 quickshifter, DLC-coated valve tappets, sintered valve guides, a redesigned exhaust, and new fuel injectors.

In a move to reduce friction, MV also upgraded the engine with a new crank bearing, new piston rod bearings and countershaft bearing, increasing engine durability and reliability.

To make a point of the new Turismo Veloce capability, MV will attempt the new motorcycle with a 1900km ride within 24 hours, crossing 11 countries, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, France, Lichtenstein, Austria, Switzerland and Italy.

Other significant updates include:

e-Novia 6-axis IMU
Cornering ABS and lean-sensitive control
5.5″ TFT display with MV Ride App integration
Sachs semi-active suspension (Rosso gets analogue suspension with Marzocchi 43mm
fork and Sachs mono-shock)
side panniers and a top case as standard on SCS
Smart Clutch System (SCS) *available on Lusso SCS and RC SCS
