In the fiercely contested 160cc motorcycle segment in India, Honda has launched the 2025 SP 160, aiming to dethrone the popular TVS Apache RTR 160. Packed with significant upgrades in styling, technology, and performance, this latest SP 160 is set to raise the bar in this category.
Bold New Design and Upgraded Features
The 2025 SP 160 features a refreshed front design with a sharper, sportier LED headlight, giving it a more aggressive and modern look. While maintaining its familiar silhouette, the updated design details add to its appeal. The bike comes in four attractive colors: Radiant Red Metallic, Pearl Deep Ground Gray, Pearl Igneous Black, and Athletic Blue Metallic.
A key highlight is the new 4.2-inch TFT display that supports Bluetooth connectivity via the Honda RoadSync app. This smart feature offers riders turn-by-turn navigation, call and message notifications, music control, and even a USB Type-C charging port for added convenience.
Engine and Emission Compliance
Powering the SP 160 is a 162.71cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine producing 13.2 bhp and 14.8 Nm of torque. Although there is a slight dip in power compared to its predecessor, the increased torque improves low-end rideability. The engine pairs with a 5-speed transmission and now meets the upcoming OBD2B emission standards, ensuring better environmental performance.
Pricing and Variants
The 2025 Honda SP 160 is offered in two trims:
- Single Disc Variant priced at ₹1,21,951 (ex-showroom)
- Double Disc Variant priced at ₹1,27,956 (ex-showroom)
The slight price increase reflects the addition of new features and compliance with updated regulations.
Final Thoughts
With its refreshed design, cutting-edge features, and enhanced performance, the 2025 Honda SP 160 is ready to take on the TVS Apache RTR 160 in the 160cc segment. It offers riders an attractive combination of style, technology, and performance. This launch underscores Honda’s dedication to catering to the evolving needs of modern riders.
