The body of the refreshed Honda ADV160 looks pretty similar to the outgoing model, but now gets new wide fairings with aerodynamic vents. On that note, its fascia is still as rugged with a two-part headlamp and a high windshield to protect the rider from the elements.

Noticeable from its side profile is its cushioned saddle and the large wheels shod in relatively chunky tires. This helps the new Honda ADV160 clear the ground by 165 millimeters.

The new Honda ADV160 also gets some upgrades, tech-wise. It now sports a five-inch digital meter panel and the Honda RoadSync that allows smartphone connectivity. Riders now can integrate calls, messages, music, and navigation into their journeys.
