Monday, 21 August 2023 07:32 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.

Best Bike

I was really glad to purchase this bike, but 1 problem is that when the bike starts the rpm is too much and it takes a minimum of 45 secs to come back to normal. Otherwise bike is much better than others, I also have ride experience which is better than other bikes, it's very comfortable seating, also mileage on the highway is good. Service & maintenance is affordable to all.

Bad Experience

Engine noise is more like auto. The break is not good. Irritability to ride. No service support in the Honda service center. Pulling capacity is very poor for doubles. The vehicle is like a 100 cc bike. Friends, please choose another vehicle, it would be better. I am a unicorn lover but now I hate this bike. Not worth that amount.

I bought a Unicorn bike three months ago at RAAM Honda Secunderabad. The bike is very comfortable and friendly for everyday traveling in the city. Mono suspension is a very good shock absorption technology for comfort. I would recommend the bike for those who looking for good suspension for back pain. Every day 60 KM and above is a very smooth ride you can do in your daily life.
