Our take on this /// Verdict
The Honda CB Hornet 160R ABS Deluxe is a solid choice for those looking for a reliable and feature-packed motorcycle in the premium 160cc segment in India. My experience with this bike has been positive, particularly with its segment-first all-LED headlamp and the revised body graphics that enhance its muscular design. The addition of single-channel ABS, though not as advanced as the dual-channel ABS on the CBR250R, is a welcome safety feature. The bikes 163cc, single-cylinder engine provides adequate power and torque, making it comfortable for both city commuting and highway cruising. However, it does feel a bit strained at higher speeds above 95kmph. Overall, the CB Hornet 160R ABS Deluxe offers a good balance of performance, comfort, and safety features, making it a viable option for buyers in this segment.

CBS the worst braking system

Anand - | 2 years ago
helpful 0

I bought Honda Hornet 160 R since I have used Hero Honda CD 100 and Honda Activa and was very happy with the performance. When I went to book the bike showroom people told to go with CBS braking system for an additional 9K. So I spent a total of 1 Lakh for the bike. Initially, everything was going fine I was so happy with the performance and mileage (around 50 km/ L). But then I met with an accident bike skid after on loose soil on the road, after the accident also brakes were fine. I gave my bike for service claiming insurance. It took around 1 month time for service, but after the service braking efficiency deteriorated and when I complained about the service centre they told brake cannot be tightened. I took by mike to another Honda service centre and local mechanics, everyone told the same. My 18-year-old CD 100 is having better braking than Hornet with CBS. I even changed the disc pads but the result is the same. Dear Honda if a motorcycle break cannot be fixed then on what basis are you selling this to a customer, such a pathetic experience. Is CBS a test product or proven technology?. Very disappointed with Honda. Friends, please don’t go for CBS model. Other problems are gear getting stuck on neutral while riding, petrol tank bolts are rusting.

Best but Missing some things in it

Rajendra S | 6 years ago
helpful 10

No doubt its a best value for money bike because it gives better mileage in 150cc segment bikes and build quality is fine with better handling (except quick cornering because of tall handle bar) and better Braking feature.. But being a famous brand It misses ENGINE KILL SWITCH which is extremely common and useful feature and Customers(we) wont mind spending few more money on engine kill switch :P if Honda wishes to add this feature..

Best Features: Wide rear tyre, cbs

Pros: Design, brakes, tyre, fuel economy

Cons: No engine kill switch, engine feels stressed after 60kmph, gear shift is hard, weak headlight
