New LAUNCH Alert- Honda SP160! Here’s Everything You Need To Know!

After releasing multiple teasers on its mysterious upcoming bike, Honda has finally pulled the covers off its new SP160. The company has come out with SP160 with 2 new variant models - Single Disc & Dual Disc. 

The ex-showroom price of each variant is as follows-

• Honda SP160 Single Disc Variant - Rs 1,17,500
• Honda SP160 Dual Disc Variant - Rs 1,21,900

At a single glance, it is clear that the SP160 is a much sporty version of the Honda Unicorn. The idea behind the name of the bike might be influenced by the popular SP125, which has been on the market for a long time. This would create a sense of familiarity with the customer base since SP125 is known for reliability and high-performance delivery. 

Design Elements of Honda SP160

Honda SP160 features an LED headlight design that gives us a major reminder of the SP125. However, the cowl around the bike seems chunky and aggressive as compared to SP125. The new bike is further designed with a muscular fuel tank with tank extensions that give the bike more of a bold look. The side panels have a fin-like design element, while the rear panels have sharp lines running, giving the bike a more sporty-looking design. 

The LED Taillight is smartly designed with a V-shaped design, with each line going upwards with a convergence down the middle. Overall, the bike is designed in a commuter-style language similar to its 125cc sibling but with a dash of sportiness. 

Features of Honda SP160

As for the features, Honda SP160 is equipped with an LCD instrument console that gives the following rider information:

• Fuel Level
• Gear Indicator
• Odometer
• Trip Metre Readings
• Mileage
• Speed
• Time
