HONDA UNICORN 160 OVERVIEW & PRICE
The Honda CB Unicorn 160 is a premium 160cc motorcycle, which has been aimed at a young breed of the audience looking for a stylish commuter motorcycle for use daily. The CB Unicorn 160 fills the void created in Honda’s line-up when it discontinued the CB Dazzler a few years ago.
The premium 150cc segment is full of muscular motorcycles, and the CB Unicorn isn’t different. Cosmetically, the CB Unicorn 160 carries influence from the Honda CX-01 concept, unveiled at the 2014 Auto Expo CB Trigger. The fuel tank gets a muscular design, while the headlamp gets a bikini fairing. Most electrical components share with the CB Unicorn and the CB Trigger, which helps development/manufacturing costs.
The CB Unicorn 160 gets a 163cc single-cylinder engine, which produces 14.7bhp and 14.6Nm of torque. While these figures might be higher than what the 150cc engine in the CB Unicorn produces, Honda has managed to extract better efficiency figures out of the rebored 163cc engine. The engine mates to a five-speed transmission.
The premium 150cc to 180cc segment has snowballed in recent years, with Yamaha’s FZ series successfully grabbing a large share of this lucrative segment. With the CB Unicorn 160, Honda will hope to regain its lost glory in this segment, rivaling the likes of Suzuki Gixxer, Yamaha FZ-S, and the upcoming Hero Xtreme Sports.
Above all, The CB Unicorn 160 is still a conservatively designed motorcycle. While I admit it looks better than its predecessor, the bike needs some tweaking to match its rivals. With the new trapezoidal headlamp unit and sharp fuel tank, the front fascia of the CB Unicorn 160 should look more modern. However, the nicely designed tank shrouds get our thumbs up. The current ex-showroom Honda Unicorn 160 price is ₹ 1,11,000.
