Honda Motorcycles and Scooter India Pvt. Ltd (HMSI) has hit a jackpot with the CB Hornet 160R, which has become pretty popular in the below Rs. 1 lakh segment in India. The muscular looking bike comes with an attractive design, powerful engine and above all sporty performance which attracts the young customers very easily. Recently, HMSI launched a special edition of the model with hope to get a sales boost during the festive season.

The Honda CB Hornet 160R comes with a very sculpted look. The bike gets sharp headlamp, muscular fuel tank with carbon fibre elements at both sides and on top of the tank. These carbon fibre elements surely enhance the sporty character of the bike. The dual tone body theme, X shaped LED taillight, split grab bar, chunky exhaust muzzle add on sportiness to the popular model.

The Honda CB Hornet 160R comes with wide handle bar and upright seating position – giving the rider better control over the bike. It takes power from a 163cc single cylinder 2-valve, air-cooled engine with HET, and it is mated to a 5-speed transmission. This engine kicks out 16 PS of peak power at 8,500 RPM and 14.76 NM of peak torque at 6,500 RPM. The bike delivers a claimed fuel economy of 58.95 kmpl, which in reality is at around 48 kmpl.

The suspension duty of the bike is done by telescopic forks at the front and monoshock absorber at rear. The Honda CB Hornet 160R is priced at Rs. 84,931 (ex showroom, New Delhi), which surely makes it an affordable model under the Rs. 1 lakh slab.
