With The Size of a Larger Motorcycle, The Haojue DL 160 Assembled in Manaus Costs About Twenty-One Thousand Reais, Ignores Potholes and Bumps in The City, But With 14.9 Horsepower It Vibes Above Ninety Per Hour and Becomes Tiring on Long Trips For Those Who Expect Consistent Comfortable Performance on Busy Roads

The Haojue DL 160 Was Tested as an Entry Option in The Adventure Motorcycle World, Even Featuring an Engine of Just 162.4 cm³. With Final Assembly in Manaus, The Motorcycle Has Been Imported from China by The João Toledo Group Since May and, In The Asian Market, Is Sold Under The Suzuki Badge, Occupying The Segment of Urban Models with A Larger Displacement Look.

In Practical Use, The Haojue DL 160 Surprises in The City and Disappoints a Bit on The Highway. It Ignores Bumps and Typical Irregularities of Brazilian Asphalt, Consumes Little Fuel and Offers A Riding Position Reminiscent of Higher Category Motorcycles, But The 14.9 hp and 1.4 kgfm of Maximum Torque Make It Clear That There Are Limitations When The Speedometer Exceeds Ninety km/h on Express Avenues and Highways.

Large Motorcycle Size and Adventurous Look

Testing The Haojue DL 160 Shows A Large Urban Motorcycle That Ignores Bumps, But Suffers From Vibration On The Highway and Limits Comfort on Long Trips.

At A Glance, The Haojue DL 160 May Seem Like A High-Displacement Motorcycle.

The Size Is Impressive For A 160 cm³, With Bulky Fairings, Adventure Lines, And A Visual Presence Similar To Models That Cost Much More.

With A Style Aimed At Mixed Use, The Model Hits The Brazilian Market Starting From R$ 21,470, An Amount That Rises To R$ 22,260 In The Version Equipped With An ABS System, Which Prevents The Wheels From Locking During Abrupt Braking.

In Practice, The Motorcycle Behaves As If It Were A Step Above In The Displacement Hierarchy, Which Enhances The Feeling Of Cost-Effectiveness For Those Who Want The Appearance Of A Large Motorcycle While Paying The Price Of A 160.

High Suspension, 17-Inch Wheels, and Comfort on Bumpy Streets

The Elevated Suspension Pairs Well With The 17-Inch Wheels, A Combination More Common In Urban Models Than In Pure Trail Bikes.

Instead Of Mixed Tires, As In The Configuration Used In China, The Haojue DL 160 Sold Here Features A Sportier Setup, More Suitable For Asphalt and Daily Cornering.

In Daily Use, The Small Haojue Almost Ignores Bumps and Pavement Patching, Assisted By The High Handlebars That Recall Trail Or Cross Motorcycles.

The Digital Dashboard Is Complete For The Category, Offering Clear Readability Of Information.

The Wide Seat Ensures Comfort For Urban Use, While The LED Headlight Pleases With Its Brightness and Helps Enhance Safety When Riding At Night On Poorly Lit Roads.

162.4 cm³ Engine, 14.9 hp, and Limits on The Highway

Beneath The Appearance of A Larger Motorcycle, The Haojue DL 160 Hides A 162.4 cm³ Engine With 14.9 hp of Maximum Power and 1.4 kgfm of Torque.

In Urban Traffic, This Set Proves To Be Sufficient: The Starts At Traffic Lights Are Adequate, The Acceleration At Low and Medium Speeds Is Honorable, and The Contained Weight Favors Agility Among Cars.

The Problem Arises When The Use Shifts To Avenues With Fast Flow and Highways.

Above 90 km/h, There Is A Clear Feeling of Lack of Breath, Especially On Longer Uphill Sections or When Trying To Gain Speed To Overtake.

What Works Well For Daily Commutes In The City Starts To Seem Limited For Those Planning Frequent Trips Or Longer Stretches On Dual Carriageways.

Vibration in Fifth Gear and Fatigue on Long Trips

The Five-Speed Transmission of The Haojue DL 160 Has Short Ratios, A Characteristic That Helps With Agility At Low Speeds But Takes Its Toll On Comfort At Higher RPMs.

In Fifth Gear, Riding For Extended Periods Above 90 km/h, The Increasing Vibration From The Set Becomes Annoying To The Rider.

This Constant Vibration In The Fairing, Mirrors, and Handlebars, Along With The Engine’s Effort To Maintain Speeds Close To The Limit, Turns The Experience On Longer Rides Into A Tiring One, Even On Well-Paved Highways.

For Those Looking To Use The Motorcycle As A Daily Work Tool With Short Commutes, It Doesn’t Pose A Serious Problem.

However, For Those Dreaming Of Weekend Rides Over Longer Routes, The Behavior Reminds You That It Is Still A 160.

Usage Details, Turn Signal Noise, and The Impression of A Superior Category

Among The Notable Usage Details in The Haojue DL 160 Is The Turn Signal System With High Sound Alerts.

According To Dealerships of The Brand, The Electric Relay That Produces The “Beep” Is Often Removed During The First Service, At The Request of Customers Who Are Annoyed By The Constant Noise On Urban Routes.

Despite These Fine Adjustments, The Motorcycle Behaves As If It Were From A Superior Category, Both In Riding Position And In How It Absorbs Road Irregularities.

This Positive Impression In The City Is Exactly What Reinforces The Feeling That The Engine Could Deliver A Bit More On The Highway, Bringing Performance Closer To What The Visual Promises.

250 Version In Asia and The Role of The DLzinha In Brazil

In The Asian Market, There Is A 250 cm³ Version With 25 hp, Sold As The Suzuki V-Strom.

Consulted By Folha de S. Paulo, The Brand Did Not Confirm Nor Dismiss Officially The Possibility of Bringing This Larger Configuration To Brazil, Indicating That Any Plans Are Still Under Evaluation.

For Now, The “DLzinha” Serves As An Efficient Daily Riding Option, Offering Economy, Comfort, and The Appearance of A Large Motorcycle For Those Mainly Circulating In Urban Centers.

For Those Who Accept The Limitation of Breath and Vibration At Highway Speeds, The Haojue DL 160 Can Be A Rational Solution In The Entry-Level Adventure Segment.

In Your Opinion, Does The Haojue DL 160 Justify Its Price For Those Who Ride More In The City, Or Do The Lack of Power And The Discomfort Of Vibration On The Highway Make You Prefer To Invest In Another Motorcycle In This Price Range?
