I have now had my 2023 PCX 160 for one year. Today I turned 10,039 K. I ride near Mariveles Bataan. Paved mountain roads and large highways. I have taken it to Mania 4 or 5 times. I feel comfortable and safe driving it. I have the oil changed every 2,000 K. Other than that I have no repairs needed so far. I would say it has been a very good value for the money.
Nice review. I am retired, from the U.S. The last time I owned or dove a motor cycle was 40 years ago. I got the new PCX 160 in February. I have no complaints, except I feel cramped on the seat, I am a large guy. To date my longest day ride is 218 KL. My driving impression is that the PCX 160 is "Plush" It just feels nice to drive. It has enough power for what I do. My favorite thing is the brakes. Finger tip and powerful. This is important to me as I am a nervous rider and sometimes I braker hard. The acceleration is also good for me. I live in Bataan, near MT Sammat. So I enjoy doing the Mariveles loop. Up and down the winding mountain roads is a joy. When I took it in to the dealer for the 2,000 K service the mechanic did add some coolant. I will check it again soon and if it is low I will ask them to replace the coolant tank as you suggested. I wanted my first motor cycle here in PH to be an old used one but my wife insisted that I get the new one (safe, reliable, and with proper papers) and friends said that the Honda PCX 160 was the one to get "If you can afford it" I am glad that I listened to them. In two weeks I will take a trip to Manila. Wish me luck.
I own PCX 150 2019 like you. Just got new ADV 160 this week; A nice upgrade that adresses PCX's flaws you and I both feel let it down somewhat. 1 no more juddering CVT. 2 better tyres+suspension for better ride comfort. 3 nicer saddle material. Cheers for your great review of PCX 160. IMHO think ADV would suit your needs and roads better. Cheers from Jakarta 👍🏻 Better late than dead/Arrive alive 👍🏻
*Ride Alive* Hi, as a recent retiree from Australia, I was somewhat gobsmacked to notice that road rules here in the Philippines are rarely adhered to. Everyone appears to adopt a "first in best dressed" approach to riding/driving, as though they have to absolutely pass everything in front of them. A lot of cars and heavily laden trucks will overtake on double lines, and will miss sideswiping oncoming vehicles by mere inches. In the inner city precincts, the amount of traffic on the move is just visual chaos. But having said that, it's totally amazing as to how they manage to avoid each other in what can only be described as a "vehicular waltz". Coming from side streets, one just drives in amongst it all. Horns will sound, but that's all. One thing that's absent, is instances of road rage. I tend to smile with the thought that if road rage exited here, it'd be the biggest "free for all" ever witnessed, covering several city blocks. For all that though, the people here are super nice and ever respectful, and that's definitely a plus. In OZ we drove on the left, gave way to our right, and gave way to all traffic on a roundabout, so In order to gain confidence in driving/riding here on the right, I'm looking to buy the new Honda160 PCX ahead of buying a car and therefore to gain the experience of "waltzing" with my fellow motorists, lol. Enjoyed your video, and found it most informative, to which I thank you sincerely. Cheers, and ride safe...
Everything is true. Hahaha. The Honda PCX is a good choice. The Honda ADV is another. If you wanted a more flexible scoot and if the budget allows, go for a 400 cc. Thank you for leaving such a wonderful comment. Welcome to the 🇵🇭.
Purchased a new 2022 PCX 160 ABS last year with zero miles from my local dealership last year. Tax, title, tags, out the door for under $5,000. I actually just hit 800 miles on it, time for that first oil change! It's great for local commuting and for cruising the town. I'm 5-10 180lbs. I've gotten top speed of 67mph consistently. It's a fun little scooter for sure. Will be trading in next year for Honda NC750 DCT motorcycle.
@@ridealive This new line-up of 160's from Honda looks very promising. They've upped the ante to cater to fans wanting a more capable machine and give the competition a run for their money. May kasunod na ba na 160cc unit for review (Click160 sana brad)...😊
I just moved to Thailand and wanted to buy a new Honda ADV 160 But they told me that it`s not for sale here 😞 So I bought the second best. My new PCX 160 will arrive in 3 weeks 🙂
Thank you for the indepth review of the cpf. I just bought a adv 160. I assume they are similar except the suspension for my adv 160 is firmer. May i ask what the name of the mountainous area u rode ur bike through?
Hi. Thank you for watching the video and for leaving a comment. The mountainous area is Kennon Road. I rode the PCX to Baguio. I love the ADV. I would have reviewed it I got the chance.
I hit dislike because of constant music and computer voice. I prefer real person review it & I WATCH on here not so i can read a power point. Just be a normal person. I cant even finish this.
Just watched your video. It is very informative. I am moving to Bohol from the US in exactly one month. Am trying to order an ADV160 before I get there, but not having any success finding one since they just made their debut in the Philippines. I am now trying to decide between the PCX, Nmax and also the Xmax which is a little above my budget. Really hoping to get my hands on the ADV if at all possible within the next 30 days..
@jpb764 I was able to purchase the ADV160 in Panglao a couple weeks before I arrived in the Philippines. Picked it up the day I arrived in Bohol and have enjoyed riding it ever since.
I have a 2022 and the seat is very lose fitting its slides around like a women's nylon legging, the back shocks are something to be desired. Even a solo rider weighing 100 kilos the shocks are to stiff.
I'm so upset honda won't be making the forza available in the US anymore. Had my forza since 2015 and was looking forward to getting a new one in a year or two.
Don't get the Forza or PCX any more in Canada either. Maybe they just did not sell enough to make it worthwhile. I just sold off my Honda Silverwing 600 this week and if I want a smaller replacement it will not be Honda.
Very informative video.. Hope i can also review a motorcycle like you do.. And the voice! Damn! 😁 Your channel deserve more subscriber! 👌 Ride Safe Brother! 👌 #AFanSinceDay1
It's an anomaly. 113cc. They put a new drive belt in at 8000km and 16000km when the manual says replace at 20,000km. My new UK110 only does the standard 103 kmh.
@@vince1229 mines just approaching the 8000k mark. Will see what they say about a new drive belt. Would love it to have a bit more poke, otherwise such a brilliant little bike.
Hi. They just said they will report it. Not sure if they fixed it tho. I checked the other PCX 160s owned by people I know and it appears the leather seat issue is exclusive to that unit they loaned me.
@@ridealive Could be they used a protective cover over the seat. Im from New Zealand but I was up in Baguio a few weeks ago, Very nice place , You got some beautiful country to ride in.
Would hope the new 160 PCX for the US would have disc brakes ,front and rear, complete instrumention , which includes a tach., and color options , all of them , not all customers like flat colors, and so sick of the black or grey option that is continuously the only choice.
You mean text to speech? Throat problem. I cannot do voice overs due to throat pain when I speak. Hence, the workaround. But thanks for watching though
I agree with another guy who criticized computer-voice reviews. Why do people use them? They can’t pronounce things correctly and are terrible with numbers. As soon as I heard it, I turned it off and I’ll find another review instead.
That's fine. I agree with you that text to speech VO is terrible. I use them because I have a throat problem and cannot speak longer than 2 minutes without suffering throat pain. Just the same, thanks for dropping by and for leaving a comment.

What's the top speed
During my test, 115 kph.
I Love my SYM HD 125 from 2005. Runs and runs and Runs......😁
That's amazing!
Got my Pcx 160 a week ago i also encountered same issue with the seat. Its slippery
Don’t forget the up to 800 dollar destination and prep charges
Very Good Review.. I'll Buy it later Ride Safe ka Pixie

Thanks for leaving a feedback. I really appreciate it.
Excellent review.
Thank you.
I have the seat cover issue on my pcx160 and dont care for rear shocks. No other issues.so far.
How did you fix the sliding leather?
@@ridealive i havent. Considering trying an aftermarket seat.
Just watched your video. It is very informative. I am moving to Bohol from the US in exactly one month.

If you were somewhere near, I would have helped you order one. I know folks from a local store.
@Mark J have you already bought your PCX in Bohol?
@jpb764 I was able to purchase the ADV160 in Panglao a couple weeks before I arrived in the Philippines. Picked it up the day I arrived in Bohol and have enjoyed riding it ever since.
You say the leather seat gave you backache but then you go on to say if you like comfort....then the pcx 160 is the best option!! well which is it??
The answer to that is in the video. You missed it. But thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
I have a 2022 and the seat is very lose fitting its slides around like a women's nylon legging, the back shocks are something to be desired. Even a solo rider weighing 100 kilos the shocks are to stiff.

How tall are you? It looks kinda small on you?
I’m 6ft 190 and I drove 150 and loved it but thinking of the 160 instead
Boss, probably just the warped camera perspective. I'm only 5'7".

Does anyone know the ground clearance of this bike?
Hi. It's 135 mm.
Got it! Probably just slightly less than the Adv 160, thanks@@ridealive
This is the first time i hear that this scooter runs on 91octan fuel. In Thailand they say it need 95octan
Hi. The manual here recommends 91 octane. But I'm also using 95 octane.
I'd like to see the gold wing?
Me too!
Hello, so how can i get a delivery of one unit abs to me located in east africa. And for what price?..
Im a blogger, not a seller sir. Please contact Honda in your area.
@@ridealive sorry but there is no honda dealer in my location
Ah. In that case I have no idea how to help you. Sorry.
116 kmh is a very sad top speed for 160cc. The DIO110 is only 83 kmh. My 3 year old Suzuki UK110 has a top speed of 117 straight from the shop.
😂what motor have you got in the UK110? Mine 105 down a hill with wind in my back. 60kmph back up the same hill 😆
It's an anomaly. 113cc. They put a new drive belt in at 8000km and 16000km when the manual says replace at 20,000km. My new UK110 only does the standard 103 kmh.
@@vince1229 mines just approaching the 8000k mark. Will see what they say about a new drive belt. Would love it to have a bit more poke, otherwise such a brilliant little bike.
What camera do you use?
Insta360 one x2. And gopro 9
Ma in Italia e disponibile?
Non sono sicuro che sia disponibile in Italia, ma vedo video della Honda PCX 160 dall'Europa su TH-cam.
your channel is monetized??? please reply
Yes
How is max speed?
I dont really do max speed but during a test, I managed to get a decent 115 km/h.
@ridealive that's a good improvement from my 17 pcx150. I max at 99kmh.
Its very far, Honda PCX 160cc, you compare with NMAX 155cc,now! From the body alone cleaned, fixed and tight fittings unliked PCX 160cc
206th like..nice review brader..new friend from Manuel Roy Hernandez
Thank you boss
Combi brake?
Yep.
Disk in front, drum in back.
Oh, maganda na ang Mukha NG PCX 160cc
Oo nga eh
just replace the rear shocks with stock xmax shocks..youre welcome
Excellent review, Did Honda sort the seat out, Don't look right to me and i'm a motor trimmer by trade.

Nope, just the leather. No protective covering.
