Entering the Malaysia kapchai market is the AFAZ Kencana Sport 115, priced at RM5,799. AFAZ is the second Malaysian motorcycle brand behind Modenas, first making its debut in 2023.
Due to enter AFAZ authorised dealers in shortly with official lunch date as yet unconfirmed, news has been received by paultan.org that certain AFAZ dealers have the Kencana Sport 115 on the showroom floor. The Kencana Sport 115 is said to have 40% local content, including the bodywork exhaust and wheels, and is targetted to the budget conscious urban rider.
Developed in co-operation with Suzuki, the Kencana Sport 115 is the first AFAZ motorcycle to be offered to Malaysian riders. Making the Kencana Sport 115 unique is the in-house design of the bodywork, including the LED headlight with the AFAZ logo and the LED taillight that forms the letter ‘A’.
The Kencana Sport 115 is powered by a single-cylinder SOHC Euro-4 compliant mill displacing 113 cc and producing 9.1 hp at 7,500 rpm with a peak torque of 9.0 Nm at 5,500 rpm. Power goes to the rear wheel via a four-speed centrifugal clutch gearbox and fully-enclosed chain drive.
Suspension uses telescopic forks in front and KYB shock absorbers in the rear, adjustable for spring preload. Braking is done with hydraulic front disc brake and mechanical drum brake in the rear. Weight for the Kencanna Sport 115 is listed at 100 kg, with 4.2-litres of fuel in the tank, while seat height is set at 760 mm.
Madani gomen should make bold move forward for Malaysia, just ban petrol kapchais and replace them with electric motors.
Not only help to reduce air pollution but the real motive is to eliminate rempit menace which currently gaining popularity among that majorities. Go and be bold!
how will that eliminate rempits ? they can still race on EV bikes yes?
Finally there’s a fully-enclosed chain drive model (like the Ex5); it protects chain from dust, sand & dirty water – 97%. I believe this Suzuki has a better frame, engine & riding experience. I may buy this, but the huge problem is I’ll be charged about RM900 – 1K more than the suggested retail price (5,799), even with cash purchase & 3rd party insurance. This will surely prevent me from buying. The govt must crack down on these greedy, unscrupulous dealers (been like this for more than 20 yrs). I’m fr S’ban
