Before buying All New Honda Vario 150, you should know these informations

News24xx.com - Some time ago, has done a complete product test ride that became the idol of matic users. The variant tested is the All New Honda Vario 150 version of 2018.

Although not familiar, but this matic motorcycle is very new. And for the engine and the chassis are only given a little change but the base are still close to the previous version.

Even so, used for daily activities for over 700 km, it turns out this motorcycle offers some interesting facts. Quoted from the results of tests conducted by Otogrid, then the review that can be delivered about All New Honda Vario 150, these are the results:

1. Features and Technology

For the design can be seen and felt whether it fits with your taste or not. From the front of course the speedometer is now turned into a full digital, its informations provide more complete and very compact dimensions. Biggest portion of course for speed instructions, then the eye tickle is the fuel consumption in the bottom right corner. The bar will move according to the gas openings, will be shifted to the left which means extravagant, and to the right if the gas open relaxed. This gasoline consumption graph works instead of the throttle position sensor, but works based on the flow of gasoline.

So do not be surprised if the gas is closed but the bar just goes slowing down, because when the deceleration in high speed gasoline still continue to flow. And other info there is average gasoline consumption, tripmeter A and B, odometer, clock, fuel meter and engine oil change indicator.

There is also a voltmeter info, from this voltage meter it is revealed that the engine is steady at 14.5 volts, then if the engine turns off when the ISS is switched down to 13.2 volts, then slowly goes down due to the lights.

Also while driving in the heat of the day, the numbers so visible vague. If it is cloudy or night, of course there is no problem. Maybe if given a visor accessory will help to it looks pretty.

Seeing other features, under the handlebars there are 2 pieces of console. The left is bigger, unfortunately now superficial and wide, so 600 ml bottle can not enter the whole, even easily falling when the motor hit the shock on the road. In between these two consoles there is a hook for goods, but unfortunately its position jutted into.

Under the seat there is a super relief baggage, 18 liters! Can fit a helmet anyway. But only open face helmet without pet, full face helmet certainly can not enter.

Continue to the lights are all LEDs now. The lights at close range are just plain, but the bright lights are well lit up. But as long as do not rain alone, because the white highlight will be swallowed black asphalt.

The engine is not much changed, only the air filter, the ECU and the exhaust, so the technology in this section is also the same, keep the eSP engine with gas supply PGM-FI.

With ACG Starter then when the engine turns on no sound. Then there is Idling Stop System, if activated when stopped for more than 3 seconds automatic engine die and will turn on if gas re opened.

2. Smart Key System

On the smart key, the remote has only two buttons, the upper one for the answer back system and alarm, so once the two function push work. On the bottom button for on / off, how to use is the same as Honda PCX 150. And the fun now openings a button that is next to the keyless buttons fairly soft.

If the engine is still on and the remote is more than 2 meters, for example when the remote falls during riding, the key symbol on the speedometer blinks a warning. And in this position, if the contact is turned off the beeps will be quite loud, and smaller when the contact is turned on again, and the sound goes off when the machine is turned on again. Of course it is in anticipation that the machine can still live to grab the spare key.

3. Riding Position & Handling

The seat has a height of 769 mm, low enough and friendly for riders with a height of about 170 cm. This is quite wide, so the legs are slightly astride when stopped. And the foam on the seat feels pretty hard, like the previous version.

In this latest generation has a low handlebars and quite narrow as a motor sport with handlebar flops.

In addition, a soft suspension also installed Both front and rear suspensions that provide comfort either alone or together with someone.

4. Performance

Basically, the internal part of the machine is the same as the previous version, but the engine character changes because there is a change in the filter box which is more larger, and has shorter exhaust.

Based on claims of power up to 13 dk at 8,500 rpm and 13.4 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm, the old Vario 150 is only 12.4 dk / 8,500 rpm and 12.8 Nm / 5,000 rpm of torque.

Apparently when used is the initial acceleration until the middle is much more responsive. Feels really nimble for stop and go on urban roads. So no wonder if see acceleration data that tested using Racelogic 0-60 km / h very short, only 4.9 seconds

5. Gasoline Consumption

With a much more reponsive performance in early to medium pull, let alone there is a fuel consumption model bar that is always reminded wasteful or economical, the average gasoline consumption can penetrate the number of 44.5 km / liter.

With the record of road conditions that pass through a variety of tester and carrying an aggressive character. If more subtle can be more efficient again. Gasoline used Pertamax. And as a recap, on the old Vario 150 version can only 42 km / liter.
