Aveta Malaysia, one of Malaysia’s leading home-grown motorcycle brands, has launched the Nova 160 Signature Edition (SE), an upgraded version of its popular Nova 160 scooter, now equipped with Dual Channel Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS) to deliver enhanced safety and stability in everyday riding conditions.

This latest upgrade comes as Malaysia’s Ministry of Transport (MOT) moves toward implementing its new regulation mandating ABS for all motorcycles above 150 cc starting in 2025 — an important step to raise national safety standards for motorcyclists.

“The launch of the Nova 160 Signature Edition reflects Aveta’s readiness to meet the MOT requirement and our commitment to prioritising rider safety,” said Steven Lim, Group Managing Director of Aveta Malaysia. “While adapting to stricter safety regulations, we remain focused on delivering advanced technology and style at an affordable price point.” 

The Nova 160 Signature Edition combines trusted performance with upgraded safety systems and refreshed styling to meet the needs of modern urban riders. The inclusion of Dual Channel ABS and Traction Control System (TCS) enhances handling and stability on wet or uneven roads, giving riders greater peace of mind. Meanwhile, its new decal design and three eye-catching colour options — Teal Green, Copper Blaze and Dark Blue — lend it a sportier and more dynamic appearance.

Under the hood, the Nova 160 Signature Edition retains the same proven 160 cc performance and reliability that have made the Nova 160 a favourite among Malaysian riders since its debut earlier this year. True to Aveta’s mampu milik” philosophy, this upgraded model continues to deliver enhanced safety and style at a highly accessible price point. 

“Aveta’s latest model aligns with this initiative, demonstrating the brand’s readiness to adapt to evolving safety standards while maintaining its hallmark of affordable ownership,” Steven added. “The Nova 160 Signature Edition represents our ongoing commitment to making advanced safety accessible to all riders. We’ve designed this upgraded version based on rider feedback, focusing on what Malaysian commuters value most — safety, practicality and style.” 

The Nova 160 Signature Edition is priced at an introductory offer of RM8,088.00 (valid until December 2025), after which it will be sold at its regular price of RM8,388.00. Prices stated are excluding insurance and road tax — an excellent value for a dual-channel ABS-equipped scooter with traction control. 

The new model will be available at all authorised Aveta dealers nationwide starting next week, offering Malaysian riders a safer, smarter and more stylish riding experience at an accessible price point.

DEFENSIVE RIDING

“It doesn’t matter how good you are at riding a motorcycle, heck you could even be a GP rider. But you can’t control others on the road and there will always be that one dumbass that can potentially cause you lots of trouble. Stay safe, stay defensive and stay focused on your bike.”
