Honda Philippines, Inc., recently hosted the "PCXceptional Ride" on August 29, 2025, offering media representatives and moto vloggers an exclusive first-hand experience with the All-New PCX160. The event showcased the scooter's premium performance, exceptional comfort, and smart features, proving its prowess on the open road.
The ride featured both the Standard and RoadSync variants, commencing at the Honda Safety Driving Center in Parañaque City and culminating at Café Cecilia in Tanay, Rizal. Participants journeyed through Tanay's scenic routes, perfectly blending urban, uphill, and countryside riding conditions.
Elevated Performance and Ride Quality
Riders highlighted the All-New PCX160's performance on the twisty roads from Parañaque to Tanay. The smooth acceleration, powered by its 157cc liquid-cooled ESP+ engine, delivered 11.8 kW of power at 8,500 rpm and 14.7 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Its fuel efficiency of 46 km/L made it an ideal companion for the long ride. The spacious foot area also contributed to a more comfortable journey.
Advanced Safety and Control
Participants expressed confidence in the RoadSync variant's advanced safety features. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) provided enhanced braking stability, particularly useful in wet conditions. The Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) ensured improved traction and stability during sudden acceleration. The twin shock rear suspension with subtanks further enhanced damping performance. The Standard type featured a Combi Brake System on its front and rear disc brakes for reliable stopping power.
Stylish Design
The All-New PCX160's superior styling turned heads with its newly designed all-LED lights.
