Through the comparison table above, it can be seen that the differences between the versions are mainly in color and ABS equipment. The Standard and Deluxe versions are equipped with disc brakes for both front and rear wheels, while the Sport and Special editions have the additional safety feature of ABS.
2. Which Authentic Vario 160 Version Should You Choose?
As mentioned in part 1, the differences between the authentic versions of Vario 160 are minimal, mainly revolving around safety brake factors. Therefore:
– Vario 160 Standard and Deluxe, slightly cheaper while still possessing a powerful engine and a range of modern features, would be a good choice for men in need of a scooter.
– Vario 160 Sporty and Special are suitable for those seeking safety during operation, especially for frequent commuters navigating both suburban and urban roads. With ABS brakes, the rider is safer, particularly during abrupt stops (mostly traveling at high speeds on suburban roads).
Additionally, considering the negligible price difference, we recommend adding around 5-6 million dong to purchase the Vario 160 version with ABS to ensure safety for yourself and your loved ones.
3. Notable Features on Authentic Honda Vario 160
– Regarding power
In terms of its engine, Honda equips the Vario 160 with an eSP+ engine with a displacement of 156cc, liquid-cooled. This engine generates a maximum power of 11.3kW/8,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 14.1 Nm/6,500 rpm, with a fuel consumption rate of 2.2 liters of petrol per 100km as per the manufacturer's specifications.
– Design-wise
The genuine Vario 160 maintains the distinctively sleek design language of the Indonesian scooter line with its dual headlights always on utilizing high-end LED technology. Right above them are the front turn signal lights, forming a cohesive front mask. The Honda 160cc scooter model also features a full LCD instrument panel displaying all relevant metrics, aiding the rider in better understanding the vehicle's status.
– Regarding equipment
The Honda Vario 160 is also equipped with telescopic front forks and rear spring suspension. Safety is ensured with disc brakes for both front and rear wheels, guaranteeing safety during operation.
Compared to the Vario 160 imported from Indonesia, the official price of the domestic model might not be lower, but it assures quality with a 3-year warranty from HVN, accompanied by readily available genuine spare parts and accessories, offering convenience to customers.
