The Honda PCX line has always been a favorite for big scooters, known for being useful, comfy, and looking good. The newest one, the PCX160, makes it even better with a stronger engine, cool new stuff, and a nicer look. Even though we’re all waiting for it to officially come to India after seeing some hints, the PCX160 that’s available in other places gives us a good idea of what to expect.
The main part of the PCX160 is its 157cc, water-cooled engine that uses smart technology called eSP+ (enhanced Smart Power Plus). This new engine gives you more power than before, making it easier to speed up and comfortable to ride even when going faster. It has about 16 horsepower and 15 Nm of power, which is a good mix for riding in the city and going on longer trips. It’s also good on gas, getting around 45 kilometers per liter, so it’s easy on your wallet for everyday rides.
The way the PCX160 looks still has that classic big scooter shape, but it feels more modern and fancy. The bright LED headlights and the tall windshield make the front look strong. The smooth lines on the sides lead to a unique X-shaped LED taillight, which adds a cool, modern touch. The seat that’s higher in the back doesn’t just look good; it also makes the rider and passenger feel comfortable. The long floor space lets you put your feet in different ways, which also makes longer rides more comfortable.
When it comes to features, the Honda PCX160 has a lot of cool things for today’s riders. A digital screen shows you all the important stuff like your speed, how far you’ve gone, how much gas you have, and how well you’re using your gas. It’s also easy to use with a keyless start, a USB-C charger in the front storage, and a big 30-liter storage space under the seat, big enough for a full helmet and more.
The PCX160 makes sure you’re safe with features like ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) on the front wheel, which helps you brake safely on different roads. The way the scooter handles bumps uses front forks and two shocks in the back, giving you a smooth and stable ride. It has 14-inch wheels in the front and 13-inch wheels in the back, which helps it move easily and feel steady on the road.
If the Honda PCX160 comes to India, it will be in a growing group of cool scooters, maybe going up against the Yamaha Aerox 155 and the Hero Xoom 160. Its mix of a strong engine, useful features, comfy seating, and stylish looks makes it a great choice for people who want a fancy and capable scooter for the city that can also handle longer rides. While we’re still waiting to see if it will come to India, the Honda PCX160 is definitely a big step forward for big scooters.
