2017 Demak motorcycle range Malaysia launch – six new models, two facelift plus four new utility vehicles

For 2017, Demak – represented in Malaysia by Sarawak firm DNC Asiatic Holdings – has launched eight motorcycle models for the budget-end of the local market. There are six models which are a new direction for Demak, as well as two facelifted models from the current catalogue.

The new machines are the Ezio 100, Kobra 110, Explorer 150, Xplor 150 and Ace 200, while the facelifted machines are the DJ90 and D7 150. In addition, Demak is also catering to the small business and industrial motorcycle sector with the introduction of the 4 Runner general utility vehicle for agricultural use, the Eco 3 three-wheeler in petrol and electric versions for commercial food and delivery and the eTrois utility three-wheeler.

During the launch, officiated by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zaid Hamidi, DNC Asiatic executive director Hu Ying said the new motorcycles, including the commercial and industrial models, would be launched before the end of this year, depending on component supply. “We are currently in discussions with various suppliers before entering into any agreements,” said Hu.

Locally assembled at DNC’s plant in Olak Lempit, Banting, Selangor, the Demak motorcycle range previously consisted of kapchais that catered to the budget market. The release of “proper” motorcycles such as the Sprinter 125 mini-moto and Ace 200 motard signals a shift in market focus for Demak.

No pricing has been released for Demak’s 2017 motorcycle range as yet, pending government approval, but is expected to be revealed soon. DNC Asiatic currently has two plants in Malaysia – Demak Laut in Kuching, Sarawak and Olak Lempit – with production going to both the local and Sri Lankan markets.

      Hehehe, I like your question. They assemble “Bicycle” & sell Nasi Lemak.

    Will the Demak Eco3 three-wheeler be road-legal in Malaysia? Looks quite interesting for use on a night market.

    Thank you, Mohan for highlighting the details about Demak’s two Malaysian plants. Most local media tend to gloss over or ignore the manufacturing side of things.

    Very few locals are even aware that Demak is a local brand (not sure if rebadged or self-made though), and unlike Modenas, they have been quite successful in their export markets, especially Sri Lanka (where they have a third plant).

    Most of the other popular motorcycle brands also have plants in Malaysia; Honda has two, while Yamaha, Kawasaki, Modenas, Megelli and KTM have one each. DNC Asiatic also assembles MV Augusta bikes under contract. Suzuki used to have a plant here, but it was shut down last year.

    I might have missed a few, if so, I offer my apologies in advance; I’m still new to the local bike industry. But the local bike industry is all but new, it’s as old as our car industry no less; going back 50+ years.

    Cheers.

    The models they sell looks similar to some honda’s and yamaha’s models. For example the kobra, headlights are similar to honda click/vario 125. The explore is definitely honda vario/click 150 with different headlights. And the Sprinter resemble yamaha’s v-xion 150 only different in cc.

    I don’t know how rugged the eTROIS is but it’s a lovely looking machine. I don’t think I will by driving one, but I would like to suggest it for use in countries India, Thailand and Philippines if you can match the present capacity and durability of the vehicles in use there. For looks, none of the machines in those countries can even come near to the eTrois. I use a Honda C70.

    Hard to find Demak Kobra 110, even in Demak Motor branches.
