Fitted
against the likes of Yamaha FZ FI V2.0 and the Suzuki Gixxer, the CB
Unicorn 160 will be available in two variants, one standard and one with
Honda's Combi-Brake System
Honda
Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) have launched the all-new CB
Unicorn 160 at Rs 69,350 for the standard variant and Rs 74,414 for the
Combi-Brake System variant, ex-showroom Delhi.
What’s
entirely new is the all-new carbureted and air-cooled 163cc engine with
Honda’s patented HET technology. Maximum power is rated at 14.5PS and
peak torque is 14.61Nm at 6000rpm.
The
new Unicorn 160 is not a ground-breakingly sporty model, with the style
and design on the conservative side. Design and components more or less
look like carry-forwards from the CB Trigger. The bike features a
sculpted muscular tank with tank shrouds accommodating the 3D Honda logo, digital instrument panel and finned side panels, similar to the CB Trigger.
The
seat is a broad and flat single unit, and looks to be a comfortable one
for both rider and pillion. It is towards the rear where Honda has made
some changes, in the form of an all-new taillight and a small saree
guard that gels with the fins on the side panels.
The
Unicorn 160 gets telescopic front forks and a monoshock rear. Braking
duties are taken care of by a single 240mm disc at the front and
conventional drum brake at the rear.
Honda
claims the new Unicorn will offer class-leading fuel efficiency figures
of 62kmpl, thanks to the all-new engine developed with Honda’s HET
technology. The new motorcycle will be dispatched from the third week of
January.
