New competitors in 2024
Despite the price increase, the Honda motorcycle CG 160 remains the choice of many. However, in 2024, the Shineray 150 EFI arrives as a strong competitor. With digital panel, front disc brake, electronic injection, and LED headlights, it tries to steal consumers' attention. However, unseating the market leader will not be an easy task.
Most expensive favorite of the Motoboys
The increase in the price of Honda motorcycle, Motoboys' favorite, raises the question: is it still worth investing in the CG 160? Despite the readjustments, the attributes that made it the best-selling motorcycle in Brazil are still present. If you are looking for a reliable, good-performing and cost-effective motorcycle, the CG 160 is still a strong candidate.
But the message remains: with fierce competition and rising prices, it is important to analyze all options before deciding. So, will the Honda CG 160 continue to be your favorite?
