AFAZ to launch a 150 cc tremendous moped by Q2 2026

In a particular media preview in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysian bike producer AFAZ revealed a prototype 150 cc tremendous moped. With assembled media denied use of smartphones, cameras and different recording units, this text is not going to being exhibiting you ay images or movies of the brand new AFAZ tremendous moped.

It doesn’t have an official market title as but, however does have the working title “A03”. This implies will probably be the third product AFAZ will produce, as a neighborhood producer, utilizing AFAZ designed parts mated to a Suzuki GSX-R 150 engine.

In case you’re questioning the place “A02” is, it’s at present in improvement, and containing better native content material than the Sport FAS.which is, logically “A01” within the AFAZ product improvement programme. Tasking for improvement and engineering is given over to AMITec Expertise, an entirely owned AMI subsidiary.

This implies the rolling chassis and body design of A03 are wholly the mind little one of AMITec, with a view of getting into native and maybe regional competitors. What units A03 other than its tremendous moped competitors in Malaysia is its body, a welded trellis body meeting that harks again to the Ducati 851/888 racers, and holding the GSX-R 150 engine as a confused member.

Preserving the silhouette of a moped, or kapchai, A03 packs issues in tight, and there’s no wasted house. When suggested gasoline tank capability was round 5-litres, and requested if there was a chance of a much bigger tank, the reply we acquired was, “will probably be very tough,” with the engineer pointing to the shortage of clearance between the body rails, in addition to the placement of the monoshock, moderately longer than regular to permit for extra suspension motion and floor clearance.

The swingarm is an enormous unit, a mixture of forged, machined and extruded sections by kapchai requirements(although this may occasionally change because the A03 approaches manufacturing) belying the racing intentions of the A03. The wheelbase is brief, making the A03 extra of a sportsbike than a Seize rider’s steed.

In any case, the AO3 is a traditional case of taking an engine, and shoe horning it right into a body it was not meant to suit, a time and examined scorching rodder’s methodology. Now we have been promised by AFAZ that extra info on developments will probably be launched as A03 nears its manufacturing date in six months.
