Professional Power and Precision

The STIHL BGA 160 is a high-performance battery-powered leaf blower from STIHL’s AP System, engineered specifically for professional landscapers. It combines exceptional manoeuvrability with a formidable blowing force of 21 Newtons, positioning it above the BGA 86 and even outperforming popular petrol models like the BG 56 and BG 86. This impressive power, delivered by a low-maintenance and efficient EC Motor, makes it an essential tool for any professional’s fleet, perfect for quickly clearing leaves, hedge clippings, and dirt from smaller areas or around tight obstacles.

Please note: This is a tool-only unit. Batteries and a charger from the STIHL AP System are required for operation and must be purchased separately.

Ergonomic and Intelligent Design

STIHL has designed the BGA 160 with user comfort and control as priorities. Its compact size and lightweight body are complemented by a central positioning of the battery, motor, and impeller, resulting in perfect balance and a low moment of inertia. This makes the tool incredibly easy to swivel and move. The angled blower tube and handle alignment prevent rotational impact on the wrist, reducing fatigue during long periods of use. It is suitable for both left and right-handed users. For extended jobs, a cruise control function can lock the throttle, and an optional shoulder harness can be attached to take the weight off the operator’s arm.

Advanced Control and Durability

The BGA 160 features a variable speed trigger that allows for precise power adjustment, helping to conserve battery life. For stubborn wet leaves, a Power Boost mode can be activated for a temporary burst of maximum power. Intelligent electronics ensure constant power output, meaning performance doesn’t decrease as the battery discharges. With an IPX4 rating, this blower is certified for use even in rainy conditions, offering true all-weather reliability. For fleet management, the tool is compatible with the STIHL Smart Connector, enabling easy tracking of operating hours and maintenance schedules via the STIHL connected App.
