The pre-bookings started on August 25, 2026 at a token payment of Rs 5,000 at the company’s official website as well as at Honda’s RedWing and BigWing dealerships in the country. For reference, its arch rivals namely Yamaha Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160 are available only through premium Blue Square and Premia outlets, respectively.
As we can see in the official brochure, Honda ADV160 E85 flex-fuel scooter will have a fuel tank capacity of 8.1 litres. Tipping the scale at 137 kg, it will have ground clearance of 175 mm. The maxi-scooter will ride on 14-inch front and 13-inch rear wheels which will be shod with 110/80 section and 130/70 section tyres, respectively.

Flaunting an adventure-inspired styling, the maxi-scooter comes with 27 litres of underseat storage capacity. The ADV160 E85 sits on an underbone chassis, which is suspended by telescopic front forks and dual-shock rear absorbers. Some of the notable features onboard the maxi-scooter are 5-inch TFT instrument cluster with Honda RoadSync tech, Turn by Turn Navigation, Honda Smart Key and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC).
