The Honda Hornet 2.0 was launched recently and ups the ante as far as cubic capacity for a Honda bike in India is concerned. Honda never had a 185cc product in India before.
Speaking of which, the Honda Hornet 2.0’s single-cylinder. 184cc motor makes 17hp of power and 16.1Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The company has added golden USD forks in the front and a pre-load adjustable monoshock at the back. An engine kill switch, hazard lights, fully-digital instrument console and full-LED lights have been given. There are disc brakes at both ends but HMSI has chosen to given only a single-channel ABS to the bike.
As far as HMSI’s products from regular showrooms are concerned, the Hornet 2.0 is the top dog. The motorcycle competes with the TVS Apache RTR180, 200 4V as well as the Bajaj Pulsar 200NS and the 180. The other bikes in this mix might make slightly more or equivalent power. However, these are affordable than the Hornet 2.0. At present the Honda Hornet 2.0 price in India starts from Rs 1.29 lakh, ex-showroom.
