Trail Model, Similar to XRE 190, Has a 184 cc Engine and Affordable Price, but Is Outdated Compared to Brazilian Versions

The Honda XR190L 2024, a medium-sized trail motorcycle, stands out in neighboring countries to Brazil, such as Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico. Considered a “larger sister” of the Honda Bros 160, the XR190L shares various components, including the engine, with the XRE 190, a popular model in Brazil. However, despite its attractive features for external markets, the model still presents technologies considered outdated for Brazilian standards.

Design and Engine of the XR190L

The Honda XR190L 2024 has a 184 cc single-cylinder engine, air-cooled, that delivers a power of 15.6 horsepower at 7,750 rpm and torque of 15.7 Nm at 6,000 rpm. The model is equipped with a 5-speed gearbox and was designed for those seeking a versatile motorcycle, capable of handling both paved roads and more rugged terrain. However, its suspension is simpler compared to other motorcycles in the lineup, with a shorter stroke, which limits its robustness.

Another point that differentiates it from models sold in Brazil is the analog dashboard, something that has already been surpassed in more modern versions. With a price of 61,990 Mexican pesos, or about R$ 17.5 thousand in direct conversion, the XR190L offers an affordable alternative in these markets, but lacks technological updates to compete with models recently launched in Brazil.

Comparison with Bros 160 and XRE 190

While the Honda XR190L maintains its engine similar to that of the XRE 190, in terms of components and design, the motorcycle lags behind its Brazilian competitors. In Brazil, the Bros 160 was just updated to the 2025 line with a renewed visual, including LED headlights and taillights, a more modern digital dashboard, as well as revised front suspension and ABS brakes in the top-of-the-line version. This places it at a higher level compared to the XR190L.

With these changes, the expectation now is that Honda will make a similar update to the XRE 190, aiming to maintain competitiveness in the low-displacement motorcycle market. The brand has already started to reformulate its trail line in Brazil, with launches like the new Honda Sahara 300 and Tornado 300, which are catching the attention of motorcyclists looking for more power and modernity.

Obsolescence of the XR190L in Brazil

The possibility of the Honda XR190L being sold in Brazil seems remote, at least in its current configuration. With outdated features compared to what the Brazilian market demands, such as the analog dashboard and drum brakes at the rear, the model would hardly be well-received here. The only viable way would be a significant update, following the same patterns as the recent renovations of the Bros 160 and other models from the brand.

The Brazilian market has shown a preference for more technological and robust motorcycles, which can be seen by the success of Honda motorcycles with ABS brakes, digital dashboards, and modern design. However, if Honda decides to update the XR190L, it could position itself as a mid-range option between the Bros 160 and XRE 190, attracting an audience looking for a more affordable model, but without giving up some innovations.
