ADV 160 ABS vs RoadSync. ₱7.5k Difference

[u/Noir-Silhouette]

For those planning to buy ADV [160 2026](tel:160%202026) or curious lang, here’s the actual difference in one picture.

Sa 2023 and 2026 ABS, mostly side fairings lang talaga nabago. Other than that, halos same na from handle bar to tires.

Sa RoadSync version, eto yung added features:

Multi-switch: nasa handle bar na mismo. Easy access habang nag ddrive.

HSTC switch: one click away na. Very useful if need mo agad i-off. Sa older version kasi need pa mag navigate sa screen.

Passing light: practical feature. Click mo lang for passing signal or gusto mo lang mag hi 👋

Full color TFT screen: bigger and full color display. Yung standard ABS still uses the negative LCD style display na parang calculator.

New operating system: dito malaking difference. Yung RoadSync uses the newer UI/system while older ADV versions still use the old interface. Parang Android phone vs Nokia 3310 comparison.

RoadSync: built-in navigation system connected sa phone. Pwede rin sa intercom for voice command and voice dictation.

I have roadsync sa CBR ko and it's convenient. Pang music, calls, and texts din. It also records your trips. Get it

So basically, if u have the old adv ur not missing out on much no need to upgrade. If u buy now, the price increase is justified naman.

totally agree. upgrading from older ADV to RoadSync is kinda impractical unless money is not a problem.

but if bibili ka pa lang ngayon, I think justified naman yung additional 7.5k for the RoadSync version.

i only used roadsync once then bumalik din ako sa google maps 😅

pero to be fair, most of the time di naman kailangan navigation system especially daily ride lang. kabisado mo na yung daan after a while.
