Our take on this /// Verdict
The Honda CB Twister Drum Brake is a compelling option for those seeking a stylish, performance-oriented commuter bike in India. Its design, inspired by the CB1000R, makes it a head-turner on the roads. The bikes handling is nimble, making it ideal for city driving, and the suspension, though limited in travel, provides a comfortable ride. The 109.19cc engine delivers impressive performance for its class, with a 0-60 kmh time of just under 7 seconds. However, the rear drum brakes could be improved, and the lack of features like a pass switch, tachometer, and engine kill switch are notable omissions. Despite these, the CB Twister offers excellent value for money, reliability, and decent fuel efficiency, making it a strong contender in its segment.
Price
The Honda CB Twister Drum Brake variant is priced competitively in the Indian market. As of my last update, the ex-showroom price for this model typically ranges between 50,000 to 60,000, depending on the region and any local taxes. On-road prices, including registration, insurance, and other costs, can range from 65,000 to 75,000. This pricing makes the CB Twister an attractive option for buyers looking for a stylish and performance-driven bike without breaking the bank. The value for money is enhanced by its reliable Honda engine and the overall package it offers.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 10:46 PM The Honda CB Twister Drum Brake offers decent fuel efficiency, which is a crucial factor for many Indian buyers. While Honda claims a mileage of around 70 kmlitre, real-world usage typically yields around 65-70 kmlitre in city conditions and up to 75-80 kmlitre on highways. With proper handling and a good run-in period, achieving these figures is quite feasible, making the CB Twister a cost-effective choice for daily commuting.

It is not a good bike. It's been 4 years, since I am using it, trust me guys, go with some other option. I also have a 13 year old caliber and its performance and overall economy is better then twister even after 13 years. Not comfortable for long trips, no mileage, engine start noise after 20,000km. Not at all a good bike.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Engine noise, missing, inconvenience for long trips

Good bike for the Beginners

I owned a CB Twister for almost 8 months now. Its looks are damn hot no doubt but I hate its grab rails and over usage of plastic. But the main talking point of the bike is its 110cc engine. The pickup is good, it offers comfortable ride even at 90km/hr speed with a little vibration. The upright seating posture never make me uncomfortable on city roads. Everybody have misconception that big fuel tank is a big hindrance. But believe me, fuel tank is designed in such a way that my knees rest perfectly while riding. How can I forget mention mileage here, it returns me 65+ overall mileage with which I am satisfied.

Genuine & Reliable Creation By Honda

It is an fuel efficient and comfortable executive commuter city bike with good design. If you do not regret spending 5,000 extra rupees, this is the best bike which you should purchase at this moment. The engine is smooth and styling is top class. It offers a true mileage of 58 to 65 km per litre in the city-riding conditions, depending upon the riding habit of the rider. The good shock absorbers of the bike make the journey pleasant on the bumpy roads. Handling is very good. The weight of the bike is 110 Kg only which is good for flickering in the crowded roads of the city like Delhi. It has a set of MRF Tube-less tyres, which is a first in a commuter motorcycle in India. It is very useful when punctured with a thorn-wire-nail etc. It will not let the air out instantly and you can safely go to the nearest puncturewala who will mend it immediately without removing the wheel of the bike.

Best Features: Good Mileage & Value for Money

Pros: Eye catching looks, value for money, tubeless tires, good mileage

Cons: Lack of 5th gear, pass switch
