Honda Unicorn 150 Re-Launched At Rs 69,305

There is not any cosmetic or mechanical change in the 2016 Honda CB Unicorn 150

Looking at this phenomenal success and demand of a decade-old product, Honda has re-launched the Unicorn 150. There is not any cosmetic or mechanical upgrade in the bike and it has been priced at Rs 69,305 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The Honda Unicorn 150 was replaced by the new Unicorn 160 last year in the market. However, the continuous demand of the bike and diminishing market share in the 150cc segment forced the company to relaunch the bike. Before the relaunch, it was also showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo in February.

Powering the new Honda CB Unicorn 150 is the same decade-old 149cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine with a 5-speed gearbox. The carburetted motor produces 13.3PS at 8,500rpm and delivers a peak torque of 12.84Nm at 5,500rpm. As we mentioned above, there is no update to the bike and it continues to feature the old-school analog instrument console.

Other features of the bike like the alloy wheels, front telescopic forks, and 240mm front disc brake also remain untouched. However, one feature of the bike was already much advanced in the bike when it was originally launched and that is the rear monoshock suspension. The direct rivals of the Honda CB Unicorn 150 are the Hero Achiever, Bajaj Discover 150 and Yamaha SZ-RR V2.0.
