Perodua Bezza launched in Malaysia
In 2016, Perodua Bezza was officially launched in Malaysia. Followed by the Perodua Bezza Facelift in 2020.
Compared to Perodua Bezza, the Perodua Bezza Facelift design is bolder, with an aggressive new bumper with sharp faux vent cutouts holding the fog lamps and the slightly extended rear bumper for better aerodynamics.
The other big ticket item is the Perodua’s Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) 2.0 for model AV is suite of driver assist systems, which includes Pedestrian Detection, Pre-Collision Warning, Pre-Collision Braking, Front Departure Alert and Pedal Misoperation Control. With its driver assist pack, the Bezza AV is ASEAN NCAP five-star rated.
How many bars available for Perodua Bezza?
Although there’s slight changes in the outlook, the chassis is the same for both generations. In Ultra Racing, the bars available for Perodua Bezza are Front Strut Bar, Rear Anti Roll Bar, Front Anti Roll Bar, Front Lower Bar, Rear Lower Bar, Rear Torsion Bar, and Room Bar. The functionality of each of the bars after installed on your Perodua Ativa are explained below.
STAGE 1 (Front Strut Bar & Rear Anti Roll Bar)
Stage 1 which includes Front Strut Bar and Rear Anti Roll Bar, is the primary set to enhance the performance of your car.
All Perodua Bezza doesn’t come with the OEM front strut bar from the car manufacturer. For Perodua Bezza, Ultra Racing has developed a 2 points front strut bar, located at the top of the absorber (left and right) in order not to affect the normal procedure of service and maintenance.
Front Strut Bar / Front Tower Bar
The car chassis will affect the left and right strut tower and suppress changes in body distortion that occur during running. Furthermore, continuous stress will cause distortion little by little. As known by majority, tire friction, suspension forces, defects from rain water and old car with age will affect a car’s life span. Aftermarket suspension and modifications will also increase the burden of the car chassis.
One of the methods to deal with such a situation is to install a front strut bar/front tower bar, by connecting the left and right strut towers to increase rigidity. Apart from being easy to install, it is the most effective reinforcement part that demonstrates high performance.
Rear Anti Roll Bar / Rear Sway Bar
The OEM rear suspension setups of Perodua Bezza come with a torsion beam system. The Perodua Bezza does not provide the OEM rear anti roll bar by the manufacturer. Thus, Ultra Racing decided to develop a solid 16mm (OD) rear anti roll bar for Perodua Bezza to improve handling performance and maintain the comfortability of the car.
A normal road is not flat as a race track, it is often uneven and bumpy. When the left and right suspension alignment are different such as during cornering, the stabilizer twists the bar and suppresses the roll by its restoring force. This will result in an understeer or oversteer and also there’s a risk to lose control if over body roll.
The reason why automakers install stabilizers with higher spring constants than usual on genuine sports type and high-grade cars is because they intend to suppress rolls and improve ride quality. We’ve found out that there are 2 scenarios shown in the market, either the higher specification of car comes with OEM rear anti roll bar or the thickness of OEM rear anti roll bar will be depending on the specifications.
By installing the suitable size of anti roll bar, it is possible to suppress the roll of the vehicle’s body without stiffening the suspension and improving cornering and traction. In addition, since the left and right wobbling is suppressed and the posture is stable, there is no discomfort and the risk of motion sickness is reduced.
STAGE 2 ( Lower Arm Bar )
Front Anti Roll Bar Front Lower Bar 2P & 4P
Rear Lower Bar Rear Lower Side Bar
Rear Torsion Bar
The OEM rear lower side bar is provided in all Bezza by the manufacturer. Ultra Racing provided the upgraded version of the rear lower side bar to replace the OEM bar. Also, there’s an additional 6 points rear lower bar to enhance the stiffness of the chassis.
Stage 2, comprising Front Anti Roll Bar, Front Lower Bar, Rear Lower Bar and Rear Torsion Bar are able to reduce the car chassis flex and strengthen the main chassis platform. It is highly recommended for heavy
load vehicles such as SUV or MPV as it helps to enhance the stiffness and handling during higher speed and cornering.
