The ADV160 gets a smaller 13-inch rear tyre, that should help it slightly over rough roads, given its rugged intent
-
Since the ADV160 has disc brakes at both ends, it could have a better braking performance
That said, while the suspension setup looks similar on paper, the ADV might be able to tackle broken and rough roads better.

BikeDekho Says
Both the Japanese maxi-scooters are good, and each appeals to a different set of riders. The Aerox is a street-focused scooter with sporty styling and sharp handling. It’s priced at Rs 1,44 530 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
On the other hand, the ADV160 features a rugged stance and an adventure-inspired design that looks off-road ready. While it’s not yet launched, we expect it to be priced at Rs 1.6 lakh (ex-showroom), which is slightly more than the Aerox.
User Reviews
Because of its performance. It looks good. It has a good pickup and the balance is also very good. The agility is also decent. And the engine is super refined. And it stands out in its competition easily. I have a mixed experience with this bike. The battery got dead in just 6000 km. I had to replace the battery. The issue with the rear rim was the worst. The socket in which the rim fits it got loose and when i went to the service centre, they didn't come up with the solution. The front suspension is so hard that you can't even take small pots on the road. And the fit and finish can be much better. The rear break is week. If the road condition is very good and millage is not an issue and someone who wants a scooter which can deliver power and has a good road presence can consider it. But personally I would not purchase again this scooter.Read More
