With the adventure two-wheelers now gaining popularity in the Indian market, we saw a number of brands introducing their new offering to cater to the demands of the buyers looking for capable and imposing adv bikes in the Indian market.

While the Japanese brand filed a patent for the new entry-level ADV in 2015 for the first time in India, but is now planning on introducing a new, made for India ADV bike that will offer better capabilities and a VFM price tag. The Honda NXR 160 Bros is already on sale in the international markets. While more details are yet to be revealed by the brand, the NXR 160 is expected to boast a light kerb-weight and an aggressive performance. While the name suggests that Honda might introduce a smaller, 150cc-160cc motor in the NXR 160, we would want it to at least offer a 180 cc engine.
