Accessories for the Honda PCX 160

The Honda PCX 160 is a scooter suited to everyday journeys around town. That makes comfort in traffic, changing weather and the time spent parked between rides particularly relevant when choosing accessories. A route made up of short trips and frequent stops can call for different things from an occasional longer ride. The useful starting point is how you actually use your PCX 160: where you ride it, where you leave it and what you notice on the way.

What riders usually fit to the Honda PCX 160

• Handlebars: worth considering if hand position matters to you on repeated urban journeys. Steering through side streets, turning at low speed and making everyday manoeuvres put that part of the riding position in focus. It is a more relevant consideration here than treating the PCX 160 as a bike built around long stretches of open road.
• Covers and leg covers: useful to think about when the scooter is part of a daily commute, especially if you ride in colder weather or leave it parked outside for hours. Tucano Urbano is among the accessory brands for this model. Consider whether your priority is your comfort while riding or protection for the PCX 160 while it is standing.
• Suspension: comes into the picture if your regular route includes uneven streets as well as smoother roads. On a scooter used day after day, the feel over rough surfaces can matter even when the journey is short. Öhlins is represented among the accessory brands for the PCX 160, making this category worth a look if ride feel is your main concern.

There is no need to approach all three areas in the same way. A scooter kept outdoors between commutes raises different questions from one used mainly for riding across town; your usual journey is the clearest guide to which accessories deserve attention first.
