Honda SP 160

The SP160 is the newest offering by Honda 2Wheelers India in the 160cc premium commuter segment. Using the tried and trusted platform of the Unicorn, the motorcycle features sportier styling to attract more buyers in the segment. The SP160, as the name suggests, draws its styling cues from the SP125. It features an LED headlamp, a signature LED tail lamp, all-digital instrumentation, and edgy lines forming the bike’s design. The bike comes with a 12-litre fuel tank, while the seat height measures 796 mm.

Powering the SP160 is the same 162.71 cc single-pot air-cooled fuel-injected mill from the Unicorn that is rated to produce 13.27 bhp of max power at 7,500 rpm and 14.58 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 rpm. The unit comes mated to the same slick 5-speed gearbox. To stay up-to-date with the latest emission norms and regulations, the motor is OBD-II and E20 fuel compliant.

For suspension duties, the SP160 comes with a telescopic fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear. For braking, the motorcycle comes with the option of twin discs and a disc-drum setup. The system is accompanied by single-channel ABS. Unlike the Unicorn which rides on 18-inch wheels, the SP160 rides on 17-inch wheels shod with MRF Nylogrip Zapper tyres.

Honda offers the SP160 in two variants, single disc and dual disc with prices starting from Rs 1.17 lakh (ex-showroom). The company offers the SP160 in six colour options.
