Monday, 21 August 2023 02:02 AM

The Unicorn nameplate, which was once offered in two variations—the CB Unicorn and the CB Unicorn 160—will only be offered on a single model going forward, which will only be called "Unicorn." It also complies with the soon-to-be-enforced BS-VI compliance standards. The surface of the unicorn has not experienced any notable changes. It maintains the same straightforward commuter design, which is well-liked by the target market. It comes in three different colors: Pearl Igneous Black, Imperial Red Metallic, and Mat Axis Gray Metallic. The original CB Unicorn hasn't altered much in almost a decade since it was released in 2004.
 

Wednesday, 30 August 2023 02:39 PM Honda has introduced a new chrome strip above the headlights and a black-and-white background design for the tachometer in the latest model of the CB Unicorn. Additionally, the bike features a new Pearl Siren Blue paint and a chrome side cover, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The design updates make it look more handsome than before.
Wednesday, 30 August 2023 12:09 AM The Honda CB Unicorn 160 now boasts the highest ground clearance in its segment at 187 mm, along with an ARAI mileage of 60 kmpl. It also features single-channel ABS with disc brakes and monoshock suspension, making it a reliable and safe choice for riders. I believe these features make it an excellent option for both city and rural areas.
Wednesday, 30 August 2023 07:56 PM The Honda CB Unicorn 160 features a 162.7 cc engine producing 12.73 PS and 14 Nm of torque, making it smooth and efficient for city riding. The engines mid-range torque is particularly commendable, making it ideal for peak traffic hours. I believe this engine is one of the reasons for the bikes enduring popularity.
Wednesday, 30 August 2023 07:08 AM The latest Honda CB Unicorn comes with an engine start-stop switch and a side stand engine cut-off feature, enhancing its convenience and safety. These features are particularly useful for daily commuters.
Wednesday, 30 August 2023 07:40 PM The Honda CB Unicorn is available in four colors: Imperial Red Metallic, Matt. Axis Grey Metallic, Pearl Siren Blue, and Pearl Ignenous Black. This variety caters to different tastes and preferences among buyers. I think the new color options are quite appealing.
Wednesday, 14 June 2023 11:17 AM The 2023 Honda CB Unicorn 160 has been updated to meet the stringent BS6 OBD2 emission norms, and it is now priced at Rs 1.10 lakh. This update includes compliance with the latest environmental regulations. I think this move is a step in the right direction for a more eco-friendly riding experience.
Wednesday, 13 March 2019 12:00 PM In 2019, Honda updated its commuter range with the Combi Brake System (CBS) and ABS ahead of the March 31 deadline for safety regulations. The CB Unicorn was one of the models to receive these safety features, ensuring compliance with the new norms.
Tuesday, 26 February 2019 04:05 PM Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has updated the CB Unicorn with Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) in 2019, priced at Rs 78,815 (ex-showroom, Delhi). This safety feature is a significant addition, especially for urban riders. The bike also retains its 240 mm disc brake at the front and a 130 mm drum brake at the rear.
Monday, 09 January 2017 03:26 AM The BS-IV compliant Honda CB Unicorn 160 was launched in 2017, priced at Rs 73,552. This version included an Automatic Headlights On function, a new Matte Marvel Blue shade, a longer visor, and new graphics. These updates were aimed at enhancing both safety and aesthetics.
Monday, 08 February 2016 01:16 AM Honda India showcased the Unicorn 150 at the 2016 Auto Expo and announced its intention to re-launch the model later that year. This move was part of Hondas strategy to revamp its commuter bike lineup. I think bringing back the Unicorn 150 was a smart move given its popularity.

I bought this bike just spending 3000rs more than unicorn 150 and guess what it is better than 150cc version. In every aspect like giving same mileage even after having bump in performance. New design low weight and maintenance free stance. CONS:- Poor ground clearance, top speed could hav been improved. But overall it is best when compared to other bikes like doing 0-100 in 15-16.89 secs.

Best Features: Torquier engine, digital instrument cluster, tubeless tyres, looks,design.

Pros: Performance, mileage, features,service, parts availability, comfort.

Cons: Low ground clearance, top speed could have been improved.

Features Compromised

Can someone from the company please answer why did you choose to have the switch console on Unicorn and CBR 150 the same as in Shine or the economy vehicles? For a vehicle such as Unicorn that is priced at 85K and CBR 150 that is more than a lakh, shouldn't the consoles at least be as good as CBR 250? When the engine capacity is already compromised in comparison to CBR 250, as consumers, should we compromise on such trivial features that are basics of any bike? Please let me know if this is any wrong expectation.

Best Features: Speedometer, Seat, Design

Pros: Design, Engine Capacity, Comfort

Cons: Switch Console (Highly Compromised)

Honda CB Unicorn 160 is just AWESOME

Yogesh Mahadik | 5 years ago

After CB UNICORN 150CC Honda gives us another Gem in the form of CB UNICORN 160cc. Obviously Honda is always known for its less maintenance and good mileage and CB UNICORN 160 CC got this also. With its new HET engine it's obvious it will give you a minimum 60 kmpl mileage. It also got its mono suspension and tubeless tire on which you can rely for a long comfortable ride. Coming to the disadvantage part I got a single flaw to be pointed out from my side which is its visor on the tank which looks a bit awkward to me. Only for the reason CB UNICORN is not at all a sport bike so keeping it simple is the best. Apart from this Thumbs Up really. Nothing Better Than Honda!

Best Features: Stability and grip on the road.

Pros: I like everything about this bike :D

Cons: No kill switch and engine gets hot too fast :'(
