Avelloz, currently in fifth place in the Fenabrave registration ranking, seeks to consolidate its growth in Brazil with the launch of the AZ170 Bravo street motorcycle. This new model enters the competition in the country's highest sales volume category, facing models such as the Honda CG 160 and the Yamaha Factor 150.
The AZ170 Bravo was designed with a focus on offering simplicity and a more accessible price compared to its rivals. Its suggested price is R$ 16,990, while the entry-level version of the CG 160 Start costs R$ 17,350 (excluding shipping).
The motorcycle's design features a modern and clean set, aligned with current market trends, without excesses. At the front, it has an LED headlight, a feature that major manufacturers have recently adopted. The dashboard is digital and colored, displaying essential information such as speedometer, tachometer, engaged gear, and odometer.
In the braking system, Avelloz opted for a basic configuration, using a disc on the front wheel and a drum on the rear, complemented by the combined CBS system. Experts point out that to position itself at higher levels, it would be advantageous to include a rear disc and ABS, at least on the front.
Although the AZ170 Bravo has a more powerful engine than its 160 and 150cc competitors—with 169 cm³, generating 18.3 hp and 1.5 kgf.m of torque—its practical performance is inferior. The manufacturer claims that the maximum speed exceeds 100 km/h, and tests conducted by experts registered 105 km/h on the dashboard, depending on track conditions. Competing motorcycles can easily exceed 110 km/h, which favors driving on higher-speed roads.
The purchase decision for the model will also depend on the quality of pre-sales and after-sales service offered by Avelloz, a factor considered a differentiator by the Brazilian consumer. Furthermore, the brand announced expansion plans, starting to manufacture its motorcycles in the Manaus Industrial Pole, which ensures eligible tax incentives for investment.
Avelloz reports having 400 points of sale throughout the national territory, with a greater concentration in the Northeast region, given that the company is from Pernambuco. For Avelloz, the AZ170 Bravo represents a real chance to expand its commercial operation and generate new business, being introduced with a progressive distribution plan focused on strategic markets and strengthening the network, aiming to increase presence in the country's main markets and sustain the next phase of operational development.
