Honda SP160 Specifications - Engine, Dimensions & Features
The Honda SP160 is powered by a 162.71 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, four-stroke engine that produces 13.27 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 14.58 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 rpm. It's paired with a 5-speed gearbox and chain drive - a familiar, proven setup that Honda has refined to be particularly smooth and vibration-free in real-world use. The engine is OBD2B compliant as of the December 2024 update, meeting India's latest emission norms without any changes to the riding character that owners have praised.
The chassis is a diamond-type steel frame. Front suspension is a conventional telescopic fork, and the rear uses a preload-adjustable monoshock - adequate for city roads and occasional highway runs, though less exotic than the USD forks found on the Apache RTR 160 4V. Braking is handled by a 276 mm front disc with single-channel ABS, and either a 130 mm rear drum (Single Disc variant) or a 220 mm rear disc (Double Disc variant). It is worth noting that the ABS is single-channel only - it intervenes only at the front wheel. Rivals like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V offer dual-channel ABS at a comparable price.
At 138 kg kerb weight, the SP160 is among the lighter bikes in the 160cc segment, making it genuinely manageable in Mumbai's dense traffic or Bangalore's stop-and-go conditions. The 796 mm seat height suits most Indian riders, and the 177 mm ground clearance handles the occasional bad road or speed bump without drama. The 12-litre fuel tank, combined with real-world fuel efficiency of 50-55 kmpl, gives a practical range of 580-660 km on a full tank.
On the electronics front, the SP160's standout feature is its 4.2-inch TFT instrument console with Honda RoadSync Duo smartphone connectivity. This enables turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts, music playback control, and voice assist - all through the instrument cluster. Pair this with an LED headlight, LED tail lamp, USB-C charging port, hazard switch, and engine stop switch, and the SP160's feature list is genuinely impressive for its price bracket.

The SP160's specification sheet reads like a bike punching above its Rs 1.16 lakh price point - TFT display, Bluetooth, USB-C charging, and an LED lighting package that most 160cc bikes don't offer. The trade-offs are real: single-channel ABS instead of dual-channel, and a conventional telescopic fork rather than USD. For a daily city commuter or moderate highway rider, those trade-offs are unlikely to matter. For someone who rides aggressively or frequently does late-night highway runs, the ABS limitation and dim headlight are worth considering before buying.
