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.
