Honda has launched the Hornet 2.0, its first made-in-India motorcycle in the 180-200cc segment. Here’s every aspect of this newest streetfighter decoded in detailed images:
The overall design of the Honda Hornet 2.0 looks a lot more masculine than the CB Hornet 160R.
The beefy fuel tank extensions are neatly designed. The bike also gets a tank-mounted key slot for a sporty appeal.
The all-LED lighting system, which is a first for a made-in-India Honda, looks quite sleek and premium. The indicators are similar to the ones on the CB 300R.
It sports a fully digital instrument cluster that comes with adjustable brightness. The console shows the gear position as well as the battery voltage reading, apart from the regular run-of-the-mill information.
The split seat on the Hornet 2.0 goes well with its sporty demeanour. Its predecessor featured a single-piece seat.
The Hornet 2.0 packs an all-new 184cc air-cooled engine, which produces 17.2PS at 8500rpm and 16.1Nm at 6000rpm. While we were expecting a 6-speed transmission, the motorcycle makes do with a 5-speed unit.
Another big talking point is the inverted front fork. It looks properly premium thanks to the gold finish. This is a first for a small-capacity Honda motorcycle made here. The rear uses a monoshock that is adjustable for preload.
Braking is via petal discs on both ends, measuring 276mm up front and 220mm at the rear. Honda has offered only a single-channel ABS as standard.
The Hornet 2.0 gets a slightly meatier front tyre than its predecessor. It rolls on 110-section front and 140-section rubber at the rear. Sadly, there’s no radial tyre.
