Aveta Global Marketing Sdn Bhd, the manufacturer, assembler and distributor of Aveta motorcycles, has expanded its adventure bike range with the official launch of the new VTM 250.

The dual-purpose motorcycle is available in two variants, each catering to different target groups.

The LX variant, available by the end of October, is designed for enduro enthusiasts ready to explore various trails and terrains.

By December, the M variant will hit the market, offers an affordable entry into the world of supermoto suitable for everyday use.

Both variants share a 250cc oil-cooled 4-stroke single-cylinder SOHC engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The engine makes 18.8 hp at 8,500 rpm and 16 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm.

The key difference lies in their ground clearance and wheel sizes. The LX boasts a higher ground clearance of 305 mm, with a 21-inch front rim and 18-inch rear rim, while the M variant offers 290 mm clearance with 17-inch front and rear aluminium rims.

The company says the aluminium rims on the M variant not only enhance durability but also reduce overall weight, improving agility and handling for street riding.

Additionally, the colour schemes differ, with the LX available in Arsenal Red or Army Green, and the M in Blazing Red or Admiral Blue.

The VTM 250 LX is priced at RM12,988 (excluding insurance and road tax) while the M variant will retail at RM13,388. Both variants come with a one-year or 10,000km warranty, whichever comes first.
