Honda Hornet 2.0 – What you need to know
The idea behind the Hornet 2.0 was to deliver a bike that looks aggressive no matter which angle you view it from. Its chiseled good looks are further enhanced by the all-round LED lighting package that includes the LED headlamp, LED blinkers and X-shaped LED tail lamp. It gets a sport split seat, short muffler and a bold new alloy design that completes the premium package.
Powering the bike is a BS6 compliant 184cc PGM-FI Honda engine that comes with 8 sensors on board to ensure that there is an optimum mix of fuel and air in order to deliver exceptional performance and superior efficiency. The engine is touted to deliver class-leading mid-range torque which makes it an ideal bike for daily use. Other tech on board includes the piston cooling jet and roller rocker arm which work towards reducing friction losses and improving thermal efficiency.
Other stand out features of the new Honda Hornet 2.0 include the new engine stop switch, upside down front fork (which is first in this segment), wider tubeless tyres on both wheels, a fully digital liquid crystal meter, dual petal disc brakes, single stage ABS and a mono shock rear suspension.
Offered with a 6-year warranty package, the Honda Hornet 2.0 has been launched at a rather affordable ex-showroom price point of INR 1,26,345.
