Honda Hornet 2.0

Honda Hornet 2.0 Features:
Its sleek LED headlamp is complemented by butch-looking fuel tank extensions. The indicators and the tail lamp are all-LED too (a first for a small-capacity made-in-India Honda). The key slot is mounted on the tank and the instrument cluster is fully digital, featuring a gear position indicator and a battery voltage readout (both a first for the Hornet range). For the first time, the console is also adjustable for brightness. For a good balance of safety and cost-effectiveness, it gets a single-channel ABS. We’d have appreciated if Honda had equipped the bike with a no-compromise dual-channel unit, though.

Honda Hornet 2.0 Engine:
The motorcycle is powered by an air-cooled fuel-injected 184cc engine producing 17.23PS at 8500rpm and 16.1Nm at 6000rpm. The engine is more powerful and torquier than the BS4 CB Hornet 160R’s motor, which made 15.09PS and 14.5Nm. The Hornet 2.0's powerplant is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. It also comes with friction reduction (roller rocker arm) and thermal efficiency enhancing technologies (piston cooling jet) for optimum performance and mileage.

Honda Hornet 2.0 Suspension & Brakes:
The bike also features premium underpinnings in the form of an inverted front fork and a rear preload-adjustable monoshock. Brakes include a 276mm front and 220mm rear petal disc, with single-channel ABS as standard. The 17-inch alloy wheels roll on 110-section front and 140-section rear tubeless tyres.
