Stylish Commuter
Thursday, December 10, 2009Overview of Honda CB Twister
Honda India has launched the much talked about new 110cc bike - The "CB Twister". Previously it was expected to be launched at the Auto Expo 2010. CB Twister has been launched at a very competitive price which is Rs. 42000.00 (Ex-Showroom New Delhi) for the basic model which features kick start and drum brakes. After doing a twist with its last launch – the 110 cc Twister, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has now dazzled with a new sportier and premium version of its Unicorn, which has been christened CB Unicorn Dazzler.
Design & Styling of Honda CB Twister
The bike looks very sporty and aggressive in terms of looks and styling. It seems the designers had high end super bikes of Honda while designing the CB Twister. The fuel tank of CB Twister looks like reworked CBF Stunner's tank and also the red shock absorbers at the rear have been carried as it is from Stunner. The headlight has been made very agressive and gels very well with the stylish air scoops. Honda has already promised it won’t compete with splendors and passions but a niche bike in the commuter segment. The CB Twister boasts some never seen before features in this segment bike including six spoke mag alloys, front disc brake, stylish exhaust design, split grab rails, open chain and high quality paint.
