Honda XBlade

The X-Blade is the brand’s 160cc offering that slots in between the Unicorn and Hornet in Honda’s lineup. It sports an unconventional look, with a Robo-face LED headlight, T-shaped taillight, and a host of slashes in the overall design.

 Honda X-Blade Engine:

The Honda X-Blade draws power from a 162.71cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine linked to the same 5-speed transmission that it shares with the Unicorn, though tuned differently to produce 13.8PS at 8000rpm and 14.7Nm at 5500rpm.

Honda X-Blade Suspension & Brakes:

The Honda X-Blade doesn’t get anything too fancy in terms of underpinnings, with the frame suspended by a telescopic fork and a monoshock. Braking duties are handled by a 276mm front and a 220mm rear petal disc. The bike tips the scales at 144kg kerb.
