1. World Premier
The All New Honda Vario 160 officially launched in Indonesia in early February 2022. This launch is also the first in the world, aka World Premiere. Comes with a larger and similar engine to its brother, the All New Honda PCX 160.

While the ABS types are Active Black, Grande Matte Black, and Grande White. Each is priced at Rp. 25.800.000 (CBS) and Rp. 28.500.000 (ABS). All prices on the road (OTR) DKI Jakarta.
2. Landing in Vietnam
After sliding first in Indonesia, the All New Honda Vario 160 was exported to other countries, namely Vietnam. The first batch that appeared there was only available in limited quantities. There are only about 20 units with two complete versions, namely ABS and CBS.
Interestingly, this big scooter seems to have quite a striking price difference. Launching Motosaigon, the price of the All New Honda Vario 160 in Vietnam penetrated Rp. 50 million. For the CBS type, the price is 80 million VND or the equivalent of Rp. 50 million. While the ABS type costs up to 85 million VND or the equivalent of Rp. 53 million. So when it is calculated, the price offered has a very large difference from that in Indonesia.
3. Used by MotoGP racers
Astra Honda Motor (AHM) presents the All New Honda Vario 160 with the Repsol Honda Team (RHT) livery. The new model scooter was lined up as an RHT paddock vehicle in the Mandalika MotoGP series. With a special appearance, Vario 160 is used to support the activities of Marc Marquez and Pol Espargaro, as well as the team from RHT while at the pride of Indonesia, Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit.
A total of 4 units were provided, including number 93 for the 8-time world champion Marc Marquez and 44 for his teammate Pol Espargaro. The other two units are used by the paddock crew for mobilization while in the circuit area.
4. Different Engine Power with All New PCX 160
According to data on paper, even though it uses an identical PCX 160 engine, the power output is different. The All New Honda Vario 160 produces a maximum power of 15.4 PS at 8,500 rpm with a peak torque of 13.8 Nm at 7,000 rpm. The PCX 160 is bigger, which is 16 PS at 8,000 rpm and 14.7 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm.
The difference in the data in the specification sheet occurs because the test is different from the PCX 160.

5. Use eSAF (enhanced Smart Architecture Frame) technology
The All New Vario 160 gets improvements in the frame, now carrying eSAF technology (enhanced smart architecture frame). The claim can make him more agile and easy to ride.

The weight of the All New vario 160 actually increases. Previously 112 kg is now 117 kg (ABS). The volume of fuel and luggage space under the seat is also still the same as the previous model, respectively 5.5 liters and 18 liters.
6. Pulse Ring Sensor Integrates with Disc Disc
Especially for the All New Vario 160 ABS, the front disc has a diameter of 220mm or larger than the CBS model.
