At the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2025, ALVA has officially launched its collaboration with SOCA Wheels to offer modifications on its electric motorcycle, the ALVA Cervo. This joint effort was highlighted during the talk show titled “SOCA Wheels x ALVA: Modifikasi Motor Listrik yang Auto Keren di Jalan,” held at the ALVA booth on February 16, 2025.
The event featured speakers from SOCA Wheels who discussed their experiences with transforming the ALVA Cervo, enhancing its design and performance. The dialogue covered various aspects of modification, including the reasons for choosing ALVA Cervo as the modification base, the challenges faced during the process, and the innovations implemented to improve the electric motorcycle's look and functionality.
SOCA Wheels expressed their interest in the ALVA Cervo due to its advanced technology and futuristic design, which provide ample opportunities for creative customization. The modifications implemented on the Cervo were primarily aimed at updating its exterior appearance and enhancing its performance, ensuring it stands out on the road.
Among noteworthy modifications, the ALVA Cervo boasts a revamped exterior with a new color scheme comprising gray, black, and red, accented with yellow and white. This eye-catching update also includes prominent SOCA Wheels branding on key locations, particularly the rear body and wheels. The motorcycle is adorned with racing-themed graphic stickers, contributing to its sporty and aggressive aesthetic.
SOCA Wheels took the initiative to design custom rear wheels featuring aerodynamic closures and emphasized their identity by prominently displaying the SOCA logo. The modifications also involved enhancing the windshield, which has been enlarged to provide not only a futuristic look but also improved aerodynamics. The front wheels and brakes were upgraded, ensuring matching colors with the motorcycle body, alongside advancements to the braking system for enhanced safety and stability.

The collaboration between ALVA and SOCA Wheels is seen as not just aimed at enhancing the Cervo's aesthetics and performance but also as an initiative to encourage more automotive enthusiasts to embrace electric vehicles, maintaining creativity and individuality within vehicle modifications.
