Honda SP160

The Honda SP 160 uses a 162.71cc air-cooled single-cylinder fuel-injected engine. It produces 13 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 14.8 Nm of torque at 5,250 rpm. A 5-speed gearbox handles transmission. The engine is OBD2B compliant and E20 fuel compatible.

Honda's engine refinement and long-term reliability are key reasons why buyers choose the SP 160 over rivals. The engine is notably smoother than the Bajaj Pulsar 160 NS and Apache RTR 160 4V at higher rpm. Gear shifts are precise, light, and well-spaced for daily urban use. The powertrain character suits city commuting and open-road riding equally well.

Honda SP 160 mileage is owner-reported at 50 kmpl. Real-world owner returns average 45 to 50 kmpl in mixed city and open-highway conditions. The 12-litre tank gives a range of approximately 550 to 600 km per fill-up. Monthly fuel costs for 600 km of mixed riding work out to roughly Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 1,700 per month. These are among the most fuel-efficient and practical in the 160cc segment.

Honda SP 160 top speed is 110 kmph. The engine is most comfortable at 70 to 90 kmph for relaxed daily commuting.

The Honda 160 cc Bike uses telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear. The monoshock provides noticeably better body movement and bump absorption compared to the twin-shock setup found on many 160cc rivals. The combination delivers a composed, comfortable ride on Indian city roads and highways.

Seat height is 796 mm. This is very accessible for riders above 5 feet 4 inches. The low seat helps the SP 160 appeal to a wider range of Indian riders. Most Indian riders can place both feet comfortably flat at traffic stops, which significantly builds confidence in heavy city traffic. Kerb weight is 138 kg (Single Disc) and 140 kg (Double Disc). The lightweight and low seat height make the SP 160 easy to manoeuvre.

Ground clearance is 177 mm, which is adequate for most Indian urban and rural roads. The 80/100-17 front and 130/70-17 rear tubeless tyres on alloy wheels provide stable grip.

The Single Disc variant uses a 276mm front disc with single-channel ABS and a 130mm rear drum brake. The Double Disc variant replaces the rear drum with a 220mm rear disc. Both variants include the single-channel ABS as standard for confident and safe emergency braking.

Monthly fuel spend for 600 km of mixed riding works out to approximately Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 1,700 at current petrol prices. For daily commuters covering 40 km, this means filling up roughly once every two weeks. The fuel bill is one of the most manageable in the 160cc class.
