Honda Philippines (HPI) has slowly started to introduce its RoadSync technology in models outside of the Honda Big Bikes range. Last year, it was the PCX 160 that got the new feature. Now, to start off 2026, it’s the Honda ADV 160 that gets similar updates.
The ADV 160 was first introduced in 2022, serving as a replacement to the original Honda ADV 150 that made its way to the Philippines back in 2019. Now, this specific iteration gets a few updates.
What is Honda RoadSync?
To the unfamiliar, RoadSync allows connection between a smartphone and a Honda motorcycle via a dedicated app. Through this, riders can access calls, messages, music, and navigation through the instrument cluster and by using toggle switches on the handlebars.

For RoadSync-equipped units, a passing light on the traditional position has been equipped. On the left-hand side of the handlebar is where you’ll find the toggle switches for the new head unit. There’s also an adjustable windshield up front that comes as standard.
What}s not standard is the new Smart Top Box that will be available as a genuine accessory from May 2026. This box can be locked and unlocked with the same key fob used to start the bike. This removes the need for an extra key. You can check out the quick demo below:
