Overview

Introducing the 2023 Honda PCX160, a sophisticated scooter that perfectly blends style, performance, and practicality. Positioned as a top contender in the urban commuting market, the PCX160 caters to riders seeking a reliable and efficient mode of transportation without compromising on aesthetics or comfort. With its sleek lines and modern design, this scooter not only turns heads but also promises a smooth ride through busy city streets or winding country roads. The PCX160 is designed for both seasoned riders and newcomers alike, offering an approachable yet exhilarating riding experience. At the heart of the PCX160 lies a robust 157cc engine that boasts a compression ratio of 10.6:1 and features a sophisticated PGM-FI fuel injection system. This combination ensures optimal fuel efficiency, achieving an impressive consumption rate of just 2.22 liters per 100 km (or 105.96 mpg).

With a bore and stroke of 57.3 x 57.9 mm, the engine delivers smooth power delivery, complemented by a liquid cooling system that keeps performance consistent even in the heat of traffic. Riders will appreciate the nimble handling, thanks to a well-balanced tubular steel underbone frame and an agile rake of 27 degrees, ensuring confidence on every turn. The PCX160 is packed with features that enhance both comfort and convenience. With an electric starter and keyless ignition, getting on the road is as easy as a push of a button. The scooter's 8-liter fuel tank means fewer stops at the pump, while the 764 mm seat height ensures that riders of all sizes can easily plant their feet on the ground. Additional amenities include a stylish windscreen that provides protection from the elements and optional ABS for enhanced braking performance. Honda has also made sure that the PCX160 is available in classic color options of white and black, appealing to a wide range of tastes. **
