When Honda introduced the X-ADV in 2016, it pretty much invented the adventure-scooter segment. Combining the long-distance capabilities of a maxi-scooter with the supposed off-road performance of an adventure bike, seeing the X-ADV tackle light trails alongside full-blown ADV machines isn’t an uncommon sight.
Naturally, the demand for a capable all-terrain scooter trickled down to the small-displacement segment, and Honda debuted the ADV 150, initially in the Asian market, back in 2019, and later launched it in the U.S. market in 2020. Now, some three years later, Honda has released a major update to its entry-level adventure scooter. For the 2023 model year, the ADV 160 is set to replace the ADV 150 in the ASEAN market. Launched in the Indonesian, Malaysian, and Philippine markets so far, the ADV 160 takes what was great about the ADV 150, and throws in improved performance and added tech.
