New frame
With the more powerful and heavier engine, the Honda ADV 160 requires a more robust frame. Therefore, Honda has also made improvements to the bike’s frame.

All-new body design

Instrument cluster
Another new feature on the Honda ADV 160 compared to the ADV 150 is the completely redesigned digital instrument cluster with a sleek design and a layout similar to the ADV 350’s instrument cluster. Thanks to this, the Honda ADV 160’s instrument cluster displays a wealth of information, including RPM, speed, time, trip, fuel level, fuel consumption, and oil change reminders.
