And how does the XBlade’s LED headlight stack up against other bikes in its class?

It's decent, but not great. The high beam doesn’t go far enough for comfortable highway riding at night, but the low beam is okay.

The LED is two-sided. It's great visibility, but it really blinds oncoming traffic. People have flashed me thinking I'm on high beam.

I can say that it's pretty good after using it for a year. The yellowish halogens are easier on the eyes during long rides than the white light.

It's a mixed bag. The design causes weird shadows sometimes, but the LED is crisp and clear. Takes some getting used to.

Overrated, in my opinion. I like a good old projector headlamp rather. Fancy LED XBlade doesn't work as well as it ought to.

If you're someone who rides a lot at night, the XBlade's headlight makes an incredible difference compared to what I used to ride. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely above average for the segment.

Until it rains, the LED is great. The headlight will be water droplets that create a weird scatter effect that can be distracting.

This one is spot on; I think Honda did it. It’s bright enough for city use, and it’s a killer look. You shouldn't expect it to turn night into day on dark highways.
Does the XBlade’s performance justify the higher price tag as compared to other 160cc bikes?

Absolutely! The XBlade is built with top-notch build quality and refinement. You’re paying for that legendary Honda reliability.

Not really. Other motorcycles at the 160cc price point offer similar or rather better performance also. The premium on the XBlade is mostly for the brand name.

It depends on what you value. For a look that is completely different and smooth performance, it may be worth the extra cost. If you’re on a tight budget, there are cheaper options that are just as good.

I think it's worth it. The resale value of Honda bikes is generally better, and the XBlade feels more premium than its competitors.

No way, the price difference isn't worth it. For the same price, or less, you can get better bikes with better features and performance.

I’m happy to pay the extra cost for peace of mind. After-sales service of Honda is better than most other brands in India.

It's a tough call. XBlade is a good bike, but at a price, you will be competing with some 180-200cc bikes that would offer better value for money.
Now that Honda has discontinued the XBlade, why did it do so, and will it return?
17 January 2025 06:40
Apparently low sales were the reason. People usually went for one of those or both instead. The XBlade was stuck in between the Unicorn and the Hornet.

And it's probably making way for a new model. It seems Honda is working on something to better compete with the likes of the Apache RTR 160 4V.

I believe that discontinuing it was a mistake. Honda was known for having a unique design in the lineup, and the XBlade was no different. It should come back with some new updates.

Good riddance, I say. Honda's lineup didn't need an unnecessary model. That segment is a much better offering with the SP160.

They’ll definitely bring it back, but with a bigger engine. Does the XBlade name have any brand value? Of course, Honda won't let that go to waste.
