Honda ADV 160 2027: comfort and technology for Phuket rides
The Honda ADV 160 combines automatic transmission, distinctive adventure styling and equipment designed for everyday use. It suits riders who want to explore Phuket's beaches and districts, use navigation and enjoy extra comfort without moving up to a heavy maxi-scooter. This version's highlights include a colour instrument display, Honda RoadSync and a new multifunction handlebar controller.
5-inch TFT display and Honda RoadSync
The new 5-inch full-colour TFT display brings essential riding information together on one screen. Speed and instrument readings are easy to check at a glance. Pairing a compatible smartphone through the Honda RoadSync app provides access to navigation prompts, call and music controls, and trip history. Navigation support is particularly useful when exploring unfamiliar Phuket routes.
The new multifunction controller lets you operate supported features from the handlebar. Audio functions may require a compatible headset, and available features depend on your phone and app. Pair your phone and set your route before riding.
eSP+ engine and automatic transmission
The approximately 157cc eSP+ engine is paired with an automatic CVT. There is no manual gear changing or clutch operation, so you can focus on the road and control your speed smoothly. This arrangement is convenient in traffic, during frequent stops and on trips between the island's different districts.
Twin Subtank suspension and adjustable windscreen
The twin rear shock absorbers feature external subtanks to help the suspension deal with uneven surfaces. That is useful on mixed-quality roads and longer journeys. The adventure styling does not turn the scooter into an off-road motorcycle, but it reflects its practical approach to varied everyday routes.
The windscreen has two height settings, allowing you to adjust it to your riding position and preferred wind protection. A tapered handlebar combines structural rigidity with comfortable control.
ABS, HSTC and road visibility
Front ABS helps reduce the risk of wheel lock under braking, while Honda Selectable Torque Control helps limit rear-wheel spin. Disc brakes complement these electronic aids. They assist the rider, but speed and following distance still need to account for rain, sand and road conditions.
A full LED headlight and taillight, together with daytime running lights, create a distinctive lighting signature. Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) flashes during emergency braking to alert following traffic to sudden deceleration.
Smart Key and USB-C convenience
Honda Smart Key makes everyday use more convenient without repeatedly taking a key out of your pocket. A USB Type-C socket provides a handy charging point for a compatible phone, especially when using navigation. Alongside the TFT screen, handlebar controls and adjustable windscreen, these features make the ADV 160 a practical choice for daily journeys and exploring Phuket.
