Honda is keen to show just how much more improved their new PCV160 is. To do this, they invited media representatives and moto vloggers on a first-hand experience of the all-new PCX160’s premium performance and comfort.

The event aimed to showcase the scooter’s elevated performance, comfort, and smart features. More importantly, it was an opportunity to take the PCX160 to where truly excels —out on the open road.

Featuring both the Standard and RoadSync variants of the PCX160, the ride began at the Honda Safety Driving Center in Parañaque City, heading towards Café Cecilia in Tanay, Rizal. The participants explored the scenic roads of Tanay, which is ideal for its perfect blend of urban, uphill and countryside riding.

The PCX160's performance shined on the twisty roads from Parañaque to Tanay. Its power comes from its 157cc, four-stroke, four-valve, SOHC (Single Overhead Cam), liquid-cooled, ESP+ engine. It produces 11.8-kW at 8,500 rpm and torque of 14.7-Nm at 6,500 rpm. Its fuel efficiency of 46 km/L also ensured fewer stops for fuel.

Participants felt confident and in control, especially with the RoadSync’s advanced safety features. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) provided braking stability especially in wet conditions. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) also ensured improved traction and stability. The twin shock rear suspension with subtanks on the RoadSync provided excellent damping performance. As for the Standard type, the Combi Brake System on its front and rear disc brakes provided reliable stopping power.

The PCX160 stands out on the road with its all-LED lights. It’s also quite distinct with color choices like Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic and Pearl Fadeless White for the RoadSync and Vortex Red Metallic, Pearl Fadeless White, and Matte Bullet Silver for the Standard.

The PCX160 also has a few practical features that enhance its convenience. The built-in USB Type-C charger was well appreciated for its fast-charging capability, able to keep devices powered throughout the ride. Another practical addition was the spacious 30-liter luggage box, which provided secure and weather-resistant storage for their things. Once parked, the Honda Smart Key System, with its convenient keyless operation and anti-theft immobilizer.

Riders on the RoadSync took full advantage of the Honda RoadSync system, which, when paired with a smartphone, allowed them to access turn-by-turn navigation, music, calls, and messages. This was all hands-free, thanks to the multi-function switch on the left handlebar and voice human-machine interface (HMI). The five-inch TFT meter panel returned enhanced visibility, in both day and night. The passing light switch also made it easy for riders to stay visible to oncoming vehicles.

The participants of the PCXceptional Ride were in good spirits when they arrived at Café Cecilia. The event concluded with refreshments and snacks while enthusiastically discussing their riding experience. This event reinforced Honda Philippines, Inc.’s position as the country’s leading provider of premium, stylish, and technologically advanced scooters—machines built to move people.
