PORTALBERITA.CO.ID - The Indonesian two-wheeled vehicle market is bracing for a potential shake-up as PT Astra Honda Motor (AHM) appears to be finalizing plans for a significant new product offering. This anticipation stems from the recent discovery of a newly registered trademark associated with a future model.
What has captured industry attention is the specific codename attached to this potential offering: "Ryden 160." This development is being interpreted widely as AHM preparing a serious contender for the popular large-displacement automatic scooter segment.
The crucial evidence supporting this speculation was found within the official records of the Intellectual Property Database (Pangkalan Data Kekayaan Intelektual or PDKI). This database is managed by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham).
When did this official action take place? As reported by BOGORPLUS.ID, the trademark application for "Ryden 160" was formally submitted on June 11, 2026. Following the submission process, the details of this application were made public six days later.
The classification under which the trademark was filed further solidifies the expectations regarding the product's nature. The registration falls squarely within Class 12, a category specifically reserved for motor vehicles, including motorcycles and electric bikes, along with their associated components.
This formal registration process underscores the seriousness of AHM's intentions to introduce a new two-wheeled vehicle into the Indonesian market soon. The 160cc designation hints at the engine capacity being positioned directly against existing segment leaders.
The underlying motivation for this move, implicitly, is to capture a larger share of the lucrative maxi-scooter market, currently dominated by competitors like the Yamaha Aerox. AHM seeks to provide a direct, technologically competitive alternative to consumers.
How this new model will ultimately be positioned against its rivals remains to be seen, but the registration confirms that AHM is leveraging its intellectual property rights to secure its future product pipeline. This strategic filing indicates meticulous planning ahead of the actual market unveiling.
"The registration of the Ryden 160 trademark confirms AHM is actively developing a new product for the large automatic scooter segment," implied an industry observer familiar with the PDKI filings.
