Launched at the
2019 GIIAS show in Indonesia, the 2019 Honda ADV 150 adventure scooter is
scheduled for its public unveiling in the Philippines this week. This was
reported by Top Gear Phillipines via its motorcycle editor Aris Illagan who
writes the Moto Sapiens section.
A photo has
appeared on Honda Philippines social media showing the silhouette of the ADV
150 with a teaser tagline that it is being launched soon. Consequently, photos
have appeared on various Philippines social media sites showing ADV 150s being
unloaded at a dock and inside information obtained by Top Gear Philippines has
confirmed this.
The ADV 150 is
powered by a 149.3 cc, single-cylinder SOHC mill, producing 14.5 PS at 8,500
rpm and 13.8 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm with Idling Stop. Taking styling cues
from its larger sibling, the Honda X-ADV, the ADV 150 is fed by Honda’s PGM-Fi
and power is transmitted via an automatic gearbox and belt drive.
There are two
versions of the ADV 150 in Indonesia, the Combined Braking System (CBS) version
and the ABS variant, which are priced at IDR 33.5 million and IDR 36.5
million. Braking is done with hydraulic discs,
the front disc using a two-piston calliper while the rear is stopped with
single-piston unit.
Seat height on the
ADV 150 is set at 795 mm while weight is 132 kg for the CBS model and the ABS
ADV 150 comes in at 133 kg. Fuel for the ADV is carried in a 8-litre tank and a
28-litre storage space is found under the seat.
Inside the cockpit
is a monochrome LCD meter that closely resembles the units installed on the
X-Adv and the CRF1000L Africa Twin. LED lighting is used throughout the ADV 150
and the manually adjustable windshield has a high and low position.
