Honda CB Hornet 160R Price, Details and Picture Gallery

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI) rounded-off spectacular 2015 by announcing the start of sales of the new CB Hornet 160R in India. A faster, smarter, sportier machine for Indian youth, the CB Hornet 160R was one of the most awaited motorcycles ever since it was first showcased in August 2015 at Honda RevFest. The bike has been made available in two trims- Single Disc and Dual Disc with CBS, starting from Rs. 79,900 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The character of CB Hornet 160R is amplified by the sporty short muffler. The true naked street sports bike experience is enhanced further by 140mm wide rear tyre which increases stability while the uniquely crafted 5-spoke split alloy wheels further add to its looks.

CB Hornet 160R leads its class when it comes to power with a 162.71cc engine that churns out 15.66bhp of maximum power and a peak torque 14.76Nm. Specially designed to deliver good low-end torque, the advanced engine also achieves a compression ratio of 10:1, delivering the right punch of power. Further, the CB Hornet 160R’s engine is equipped with a counterbalancer to reduce the vibrations produced in the engine. It delivers a smooth acceleration from low RPM to high RPM. Powered by the revolutionary HET BS-IV (Honda Eco Technology), the long stroke engine is tuned to deliver extra torque & super mileage.

Daily commuting on the CB Hornet 160R is reliable because of the Combi Brake System (CBS) which allows the rider to pull the throttle and enjoy the optimum speed without worrying about the brake operation. The CB Hornet 160R is equipped with 3-pot brake calliper to maintain the braking efficiency. For a refined performance, small spines have been added to the outer surface of the engine cylinder to improve cooling performance and help reduce distortion of its inner shape. A needle bearing, which is more suited for handling the radial load, replaces the lubricated shaft which helps in reduction of frictional losses. The mono shock suspension helps in maintaining the centre of gravity while a wider turning angle helps CB Hornet 160R to easily manoeuvre through busy city roads. Further improvisations like a longer wheelbase, short turning radius and optimum ground clearance allow the rider to easily navigate through the bad roads with peace of mind.

The all-new CB Hornet 160R complies with the BS-IV regulation norms and is one of the first motorcycles in its category to do so.
