KLANG: Building on the success of the original Ranger Max Explorer model, Aveta Malaysia now refreshes the lineup with a series of key enhancements on performance, durability and safety.
Updates include a new Iron Grey colour option for the standard variant and an all-new Special Edition (SE) variant designed with urban riders in mind.
Key upgrades include the addition of front and rear disc brakes for stronger braking, as well as a redesigned front mudguard and fender liner to better deflect water and mud.
Standard.
Also new are improved handlebar buttons, enhanced handle grips with additional bar-end balancers, and a reinforced patented T-bone chassis for maintaining its lightweight build while ensuring exceptional stability and handling.
Another notable upgrade is the increased ground clearance, now at 190mm that is 10mm higher than the previous model for enhanced off-road performance.
Refinements are also made to the absorbers, wiring system, speedometer, throttle cable, swingarm, pillion footrest, and main stand, all working together to deliver a smoother and more capable riding experience.
The vacuum pump has been removed in favour of a more efficient and upgraded fuel supply system for easier maintenance while keeping the overall weight impressively light at just 115kg.
The standard variant gets new reinforced 18-inch front and 16-inch rear spoke rims paired with dual-purpose tyres suitable for paved roads and rugged trails.
Despite the upgrades, the Standard variant maintains its original attractive price of RM6,988 (excluding insurance and road tax), making it one of the most accessible adventure cubs in the market.
SE.
The sportier SE has an exclusive Storm Blue colourway and sleek 17-inch two-tone sport rims with tubeless street performance tyres for smoother handling in urban environments.
A stylish exhaust cover adds a modern flair, while retaining the bold, adventurous spirit that defines the Explorer line.
The SE variant is priced at RM7,188 (excluding insurance and road tax).
To celebrate the launch, Aveta is rewarding the first 25 customers with a custom-designed 36-litre top box, tailored for the Ranger Max Explorer and valued at over RM599.
Aveta Malaysia group managing director Steven Lim said the upgrades to the Ranger Max Explorer aligned with the brand’s evolution and its understanding of the requirements of Malaysian riders.
“The original Ranger Max Explorer carved a new niche in the local market and proved that there’s strong demand for lifestyle adventure bikes that are affordable yet reliable.
"Over the past year, we’ve listened closely to feedback from our customers regarding areas that needed improvement.
"Through a thorough R&D process, we’ve addressed those concerns and refined the bike in every possible way," he said.
The newly upgraded Ranger Max Explorer lineup is now available at Aveta dealerships nationwide.
