Everything You Need to Know - 2024 Honda ADV160

In America, bigger is usually better, and Honda recognizes this by introducing a larger-displacement and now freeway-legal 2024 ADV160 scooter. This model is a practical yet fun choice for urban commuting and weekend adventures alike. Powered by a compact yet capable 157cc single-cylinder engine, this scooter combines performance and efficiency seamlessly. The engine features a water-cooled, overhead camshaft design with a four-valve cylinder head, delivering 16 hp and 9.8 lb.-ft. of torque, ample for confident rides in various road conditions.

Efficiency is a standout feature of the ADV160, boasting an impressive 79 mpg from its 2.1-gallon fuel tank. This efficiency translates to a remarkable range of around 160 miles between fill-ups, making it ideal for both daily commuting and longer trips without frequent stops at the gas station.

Performance-wise, the ADV160 reaches a top speed of 69 mph, which meets freeway-legal standards in California, significantly broadening its usability. With a full tank, it tips the scales at a manageable 294 pounds, ensuring agility and ease of handling for riders of all experience levels.

The scooter rides comfortably on a 14-inch front wheel with a telescopic fork offering 5.1 inches of suspension travel. At the rear, dual shocks provide 4.1 inches of travel, smoothing out uneven road surfaces. Safety and convenience have also been prioritized, with the inclusion of full LED lighting, an adjustable windscreen, a front disc brake, and a rear drum brake with an always-on ABS system. Additionally, Honda equips the ADV160 with selectable torque control (traction control), a feature riders can manually disable if desired.

Practicality remains central to the ADV160′s design. The scooter accommodates nearly 10 gallons of cargo storage space, with ample room for a passenger. Handy touches like a designated phone nook with a USB charging port, a parking brake, a sidestand, and a centerstand further enhance daily usability.

Priced at an accessible $4499, the Honda ADV160 scooter offers exceptional value. Manufactured in Thailand and backed by a one-year warranty, this scooter represents Honda’s commitment to delivering versatile, reliable, affordable, and perhaps most importantly, fun transportation.
