The Honda ADV150 is powered by a 150cc, liquid-cooled, eSP (enhanced Smart Power) engine that provides responsive performance with the PGM-FI injection combustion system. Based on the results of internal tests using the ECE R40 EURO 3 method, the fuel consumption of this model shows a figure of 46.6 km / liter (ISS feature on) so that it can cover a distance of up to 373 km in one full refueling.

The frame with a highly rigid double cradle structure is equipped with the global engine "eSP" * 1 for scooters, which has excellent durability, quietness, and fuel efficiency. In addition, by designing the suspension exclusively, we have realized a comfortable ride in various situations from unpaved roads to highways. In addition, the equipment has been enhanced with the "Honda SMART Key system" that allows the engine to be started more conveniently and the "emergency stop signal" that promptly notifies the following vehicle of sudden braking by blinking the hazard lamp at high speed.

There are 3 colors available: Matte Meteorite Brown Metallic, which has a tough yet high-quality image, Matte Gun Powder Black Metallic, which is fearless and calm, and Gayet Red, which has a bright and passionate color tone.

The rear suspension has a stroke amount of 120 mm, and by adopting a reservoir tank with a high heat dissipation effect, stable damping force is demonstrated. The three-stage rate spring ensures excellent road followability and realizes a comfortable ride even when driving on a two-seater or rough road surface.

Power unit

The engine is equipped with a lightweight, compact water-cooled, 4-stroke, 149cc single-cylinder engine "eSP" that is popular for its good fuel economy and easy-to-use and powerful output characteristics. The setting emphasizes the strength at low speeds and the ease of handling on rough roads, and realizes a stretchy output characteristic in the low and medium speed range. The idling stop system is adopted to make it environmentally friendly and quiet.

Styling

Realizes a tough and active sophisticated appearance and adventure styling composed of functional parts. By concentrating the functional parts in the center of the car body, the body design has a condensed feeling and pursues the impression of an active adventure model. The muffler has a compact design with a reduced front and rear length, and the muffler end is placed at a high position to express a tough adventure taste that matches various situations.
