About CB Hornet 160R

The CB Hornet 160R is Honda's answer to  Yamaha FZS and  Suzuki Gixxer. Based on the CB Unicorn 160, the CB Hornet 160R is a stylish 160cc product from a Japanese manufacturer. The

 CB Hornet 160R is by far the best looking bike in its segment. Honda wants to appeal to style-conscious buyers with its  bulky body parts, especially the macho appearance that can be achieved with tanks. The bezel is still reminiscent of the CB Unicorn Dazzler, but the side profile is a great way to see this bike. The rear of the CB Hornet 160R is also eye-catching with its X-shaped taillights. In addition, there are LED headlights and  hazard flasher switches, usually engine kill switches. The

 CB Hornet 160R is powered by an air-cooled 163cc single-cylinder engine that produces 15.7hp at 8500rpm and a maximum torque of 14.76Nm at 6500rpm. This engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The bike has disc brakes on both ends along with a combo braking system instead of the standard disc drum setup. Single channel ABS is now an option, but  ABS and CBS cannot be used together. The front brake is 276mm, which is larger than the CB Unicorn 160. The rear disc size is 220mm. The bike rides on the widest 100/80 17 front  and 140/8017 rear tires in the segment. The  tank capacity is 12 liters, the curb weight is 142 kg for the CBS version and 140 kg for the standard version.

This wheel is offered in 5 variations-the mechanical difference lies in the brakes. They can have  standard brake settings, ABS or CBS. The other two options are cosmetic variations called "special editions" with different graphics. ABS is not an option for the Special Edition Hornet. There are five color options: orange / black, white / blue, red / gray, green / black, and yellow. The price is 81,863 rupees (exhibition room), and Hornet  competes with Yamaha FZS and Suzuki Gixxer.
