The braking system difference also makes the weight of these two variants different. The CBS is lighter at only 116 kg. Meanwhile, the ABS is 2 kg heavier at 118 kg. As for other features, they are basically the same,
Speaker A
With that price difference, there are definitely differences in features, primarily the brakes. For the CBS version, the braking system is CBS or Combi Brake System with a single-piston front disc brake, while the rear uses a drum brake and a parking brake on the

So, the CBS comes in two colors. There is glossy white-red like the one in front of me, and another is glossy blue-lamp. In my opinion, these are the most striking colors because they really catch the eye. Very bright

The main body here is also red. And there are white and blue decals. Then the side body is white and has decals too. The decal colors are red, gray, blue, and striped lines. So it leaves a very eye-catching impression. Then
Speaker A
Finally, the ABS version, which costs about 3 million more, gets a more advanced braking system. Both front and rear are disc brakes, and the discs are larger, although the calipers are both single-piston, plus single-channel ABS.
Speaker A
single-piston Nissin caliper. Next, if we look at the side, the middle body area above the deck also follows the white color scheme, even though other parts are black. And what's cool about the Vario 160 Evo is the bodywork here

The braking system difference also makes the weight of these two variants different. The CBS is lighter at only 116 kg. Meanwhile, the ABS is 2 kg heavier at 118 kg. As for other features, they are basically the same,

stripping, along with the Vario 160 Evo emblem. The Vario text is blue, the Evo is white with black outlines on the edges. Then the 160 text is black on a red background. There are lines there that really enhance the sporty feel,
Speaker A
including the two new features: the foldable hook and the USB type-C power outlet. Let’s explore the differences in variants and colors. Okay, let's detail the cheapest variant, the CBS.
Speaker A
continue by looking at the blue lime color over there. Let's head over there . Here it is, the blue lime color. So it's a combination of blue and yellow, kind of like a citrus fruit. And this color is quite eye-catching again. The
Speaker A
So, the CBS comes in two colors. There is glossy white-red like the one in front of me, and another is glossy blue-lime. In my opinion, these are the most striking colors because they really catch the eye. Very bright
Speaker A
Okay, let's look at the color details. From the top, the main headlamp cover has some blue, though the center is black. Moving down a bit. This is black , and this black area has a matte finish. Meanwhile, the body here is
Speaker A
colors, very clear. For example, this color combination of red, white, and blue. It's actually a red, white, and blue theme. The handlebar cover is red.
Speaker A
It's not a very dark blue. So it definitely looks bright. There is white and orange stripping with some graphic lines. The area around the lights remains black. So the aggressive look is still maintained. Meanwhile, the side body is also blue all the way here
Speaker A
The main body here is also red. And there are white and blue decals. Then the side body is white and has decals too. The decal colors are red, gray, blue, and striped lines. So it leaves a very eye-catching impression. Then
Speaker A
type. And what's more interesting is this side body part below the deck. It's actually yellow. Wow. So it really stands out. It's very different from the top part, which is black. Then, yellow can also be found in this part.
Speaker A
below, there is a fender that is also red at the front. While the rear part is black. And since it's the CBS version, the rims are just painted black as well, folks. Then the brake is a small disc, just 190 mm with a
Speaker A
versions, there is one difference: the ABS version has an ABS light. Now to the rear body. The base color is black again, overlaid with stripping that matches the color scheme from the front . Yellow, white, then blue, and there
Speaker A
single-piston Nissin caliper. Next, if we look at the side, the middle body area above the deck also follows the white color scheme, even though other parts are black. And what's cool about the Vario 160 Evo is the bodywork here
Speaker A
black too. And some parts use the forged carbon motif, including the rear body section here. What do you think?
Speaker A
now features carbon-style patterns, even reaching up to the handlebar cover and the side body panels too. Now let's take a look at the rear body. The base color is actually black, but it’s accented with red, blue, and white
Speaker A
the color is dominated by matte black, also known as dove. And there is a very vibrant red, guys. And this black color is indeed matte, just as the name suggests. Okay, let's look at the details; from the handlebars, it's
Speaker A
striping, along with the Vario 160 Evo emblem. The Vario text is blue, the Evo is white with black outlines on the edges. Then the 160 text is black on a red background. There are lines there that really enhance the sporty feel,
Speaker A
But there are some strippings, a combination of red and very thin gray lines. Then the lower part of the fender is also black, so it flows well.
Speaker A
folks. This is honestly cool. Moving to the rear, the grab rail is black since this is the CBS version. The rear rim is also black, of course. And as expected, the rear brake is just a drum type for this CBS version. Now let's
Speaker A
here. The bottom part is also included, even on the section above the deck here . But for the side body here, it's black and still features the forged carbon motif here and there. And one of the things I like about this new Vario
Speaker A
continue by looking at the blue lime color over there. Let's head over there. Here it is, the blue lime color. So it's a combination of blue and yellow, kind of like a citrus fruit. And this color is quite eye-catching again. The
Speaker A
of red, gray, and white. The Vario logo is white. Then Evo and 160, all of these are white. And the rear wheel is also red, so it looks very contrasting, guys. Then the rest of the parts are black. And for this Nitro version, the
Speaker A
color is really vibrant, actually. It's very visible, and you're guaranteed to be the center of attention on the road.
Speaker A
look at the other Nitro color, the one with the gray and yellow color combination. Let's head over there.
Speaker A
Okay, let's look at the color details. From the top, the main headlamp cover has some blue, though the center is black. Moving down a bit. This is black, and this black area has a matte finish. Meanwhile, the body here is
Speaker A
here, you can already see that light gray color. Just like its name, gray. Then moving down here. This is a matte black color. Meanwhile, for this body part, it's gray again. And the color is glossy, just as the name suggests. But
Speaker A
glossy but with a semi-matte feel. So it's like a satin finish. It really gives off a cool impression. And the blue color is actually a lighter shade.
Speaker A
also has black. This part also has thin decals. Here are some lines at the edge . Then the front fender is also gray, and it's a light gray. And for this, the rim color is apparently not as flashy as the matte red-black one from
Speaker A
It's not a very dark blue. So it definitely looks bright. There is white and orange striping with some graphic lines. The area around the lights remains black. So the aggressive look is still maintained. Meanwhile, the side body is also blue all the way here
Speaker A
it's like it was left out. Forgotten to be painted, perhaps. Should've been given a yellow color. Such a pity. Even though this part is already yellow, matching the decals earlier. The yellow is also present on this rear body
Speaker A
. And there’s striping right here. A color combination of yellow, black, and some gray gradients. Black and white right here. And the blue color also extends to the front fender. And as always, the rims are definitely black too. The brake is also the small disc
Speaker A
The decals have yellow and black lines. There's Vario Evo 160 lettering with the "160" in black, including the lined parts. Meanwhile, the "Vario" and "Evo" text are in white. Then this rear body part is like the faux-carbon. And this
Speaker A
type. And what's more interesting is this side body part below the deck. It's actually yellow. Wow. So it really stands out. It's very different from the top part, which is black. Then, yellow can also be found in this part.
Speaker A
A real shame, right? And of course, the brake is still a drum brake. Okay, now let's continue discussing the most expensive ABS variant, for example, this one. This is the newest color.
Speaker A
The top of the deck has a very visible yellow accent. And moving up, the blue color on the cover actually extends back to the speedometer area, which remains the same as the previous version. Although the speedometer looks the same between the CBS and ABS
Speaker A
trait is that they are plain. There are no decals, giving it an elegant impression. And the rims are a burnt titanium color, including the grab rail . Okay, let's detail it starting from the headlamp area. You can see the
Speaker A
versions, there is one difference: the ABS version has an ABS light. Now to the rear body. The base color is black again, overlaid with striping that matches the color scheme from the front. Yellow, white, then blue, and there
Speaker A
really purple. When the light hits it, the shine is really visible. And it turns out there are metallic flakes in the paint, friends. Then this part here has a V carbon style. The side area is also very purple. It's very plain.
Speaker A
is the Vario logo once again. The Vario text is white, Evo is also white, but with black edges. And the 160 logo on a yellow background. And here are some orange-colored lines. Then the wheels are definitely black, and the rest is
Speaker A
single-piston caliper. The rear brake disc is the same size, also single-piston. The wheels are burn titanium colored, not just plain. So the sense of luxury is more pronounced.
Speaker A
black too. And some parts use the forged carbon motif, including the rear body section here. What do you think?
Speaker A
area is of course still PP plastic colored. Just plain plastic color. And the rear body is also purple. What's different for the ABS variant is the 3D emblem for the Vario 160 lettering. So the sense of luxury is better. That 3D
Speaker A
Looks cool, right? Okay, next let's discuss the CBS Nitro. So there are two color options. The first one is the Nitro Matte Black Red, and the other is the Nitro Glossy Grey. The one in front of me is the Nitro Matte Black Red. So
Speaker A
and it definitely provides better braking compared to the CBS version that still uses a drum. The suspension is the same, single rear, same exhaust, same engine, and speaking of the engine , it stays the same. This is a 156.9 cc
Speaker A
the color is dominated by matte black, also known as dove. And there is a very vibrant red, guys. And this black color is indeed matte, just as the name suggests. Okay, let's look at the details; from the handlebars, it's
Speaker A
Because the ABS has four color options, the most of any. Besides purple, there are also white, red, and black. Okay, this is the ultimate matte white. Now, this one is true to its name, everything is truly matte. The white
Speaker A
clear that everything is black. Then this part is also black. But if you look closely, the black isn't completely solid; it has a metallic finish, though it's subtle. And this black also dominates the side parts.
Speaker A
Then just below it, it's definitely matte black. And this white color is entirely in a matte finish. It turns out the Vario 160 still maintains the matte colors. Even though the STO models have all become glossy. Then there is the forged carbon part, the
Speaker A
But there are some strippings, a combination of red and very thin gray lines. Then the lower part of the fender is also black, so it flows well.
Speaker A
There are absolutely no decals or anything. It's very typical of the ABS variant to look luxurious. The emblem is 3D, and the same goes for the Vario lettering, though it's unfortunately a sticker. Then down to the CVT and
Speaker A
Like that. Only in this version, the matte black red, the wheels are painted red. So it creates a very high contrast. It really looks like the AC Milan colors. Rossoneri red and black, and the red also carries over to the back
Speaker A
, which is the Ultimate Matte Red. The color scheme is actually exactly the same. The only difference is that it's red and also matte. Let's look together : the red is here, from the front to the back, and the bottom part is
Speaker A
here. The bottom part is also included, even on the section above the deck here. But for the side body here, it's black and still features the forged carbon motif here and there. And one of the things I like about this new Vario
Speaker A
the same, and the rear body is also red . It’s all completely plain. The emblem is exactly the same. This forged carbon look is the same. This part here is also red. The rear rim is also burnt titanium. The burnt titanium rear grip
Speaker A
is the design here with these vents. It gives an aggressive impression, an aerodynamic feel, and the sporty look is even better. Now let's look at the side body. The rear body is also matte black with striping in a combination
Speaker A
The color name is Ultimate Matte Black. It is truly completely plain, you could say. If you want to stay low-profile and not be noticed, choose this one.
Speaker A
of red, gray, and white. The Vario logo is white. Then Evo and 160, all of these are white. And the rear wheel is also red, so it looks very contrasting, guys. Then the rest of the parts are black. And for this Nitro version, the
Speaker A
The rims are burnt titanium, including the rear grip and rear rims. Also, one thing I forgot to mention is the seat color. For the ABS, the seat has two tones, black with gray on the front and rear tip. For the CBS variant, the
Speaker A
price is 250,000 Rupiah more expensive than the regular CBS. But in terms of features, everything is the same, including the brakes which still use CBS. The front is a disc brake, and the rear is a drum brake. Okay, now let's
Speaker A
and advanced, with front and rear disc brakes and a single-channel ABS system. The rest are basically the same: they all have smart keys, an 18L trunk, a 5.5 L tank, and the engine is no different. The front and rear
Speaker A
look at the other Nitro color, the one with the gray and yellow color combination. Let's head over there.
Speaker A
bit soft, or the most expensive ABS model, even though the colors are just plain like this? But it definitely has that premium look. Or maybe the middle option, the nitro, especially the red-black one, which really grabs your attention. Alright, that's it for this
Speaker A
Okay, here it is, the Nitro Glossy Gray Lime. So, the colo
