Honda Stylo 160 Design Patented, India Launch Soon?

Honda has filed a design patent in India for the Stylo 160, which is currently available only in Indonesia. The scooter features an oval-shaped headlight, a single-piece seat, grab rails, as well as, multiple curved and flowing lines. It comes with a USB charger, a digital console, keyless entry, and full LED illumination. Honda offers six colour options for the scooter: Glam Red, Glam Black, Glam Beige, Royal Green, and Royal Matte White and Black. The variants in the first three colour schemes get single-channel ABS, while the ones in the remaining shades feature CBS. Honda provides 12-inch alloy wheels in Bronze or Black, and front RSU telescopic forks in either black or silver, depending on the colour. Overall, the Stylo 160 stands out in the premium scooter category owing to its distinctive combination of design and practicality. It's too early to comment on pricing or availability, but industry reports suggest that the 160cc scooter may cost roughly Rs 1.5 lakh in India.
