![]() Those sharp tank extensions are separate entities from the tank panels, unlike earlier when they were a single panel. The 12-litre tank, for instance, isn’t too tall, rather quite flat at the top and tapering towards the rider. Hence, it is leaner and not as flared up as the 160R. ![]() It seems that in the lockdown period, the Hornet couldn’t go to the gym and had to work out only in the confines of its house. It might bear a larger engine than its predecessor but the Hornet 2.0 is definitely a more compact motorcycle than the Hornet 160R. However, other alternatives in its price bracket include the Bajaj Pulsar 220F, Royal Enfield Bullet 350, and Suzuki Gixxer SF. The Honda Hornet 2.0 goes up primarily against the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and Bajaj Pulsar NS200. The 17-inch alloy wheels roll on 110-section front and 140-section rear tubeless tyres. Brakes include a 276mm front and 220mm rear petal disc, with single-channel ABS as standard. The bike also features premium underpinnings in the form of an inverted front fork and a rear preload-adjustable monoshock. ![]() It also comes with friction reduction (roller rocker arm) and thermal efficiency enhancing technologies (piston cooling jet) for optimum performance and mileage. The Hornet 2.0's powerplant is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The engine is more powerful and torquier than the BS4 CB Hornet 160R’s motor, which made 15.09PS and 14.5Nm. The motorcycle is powered by an air-cooled fuel-injected 184cc engine producing 17.23PS at 8500rpm and 16.1Nm at 6000rpm. We’d have appreciated if Honda had equipped the bike with a no-compromise dual-channel unit, though. For a good balance of safety and cost-effectiveness, it gets a single-channel ABS. For the first time, the console is also adjustable for brightness. ![]() ![]() The key slot is mounted on the tank and the instrument cluster is fully digital, featuring a gear position indicator and a battery voltage readout (both a first for the Hornet range). The indicators and the tail lamp are all-LED too (a first for a small-capacity made-in-India Honda). Its sleek LED headlamp is complemented by butch-looking fuel tank extensions. The Hornet 2.0 is offered with a three-year standard warranty along with the option to extend it to three more years. In this trim, the bike is available in four colours. Honda offers the Hornet 2.0 in two variants with prices starting from Rs 1,34,238 (ex-showroom Delhi). If you are planning to buy a Honda two-wheeler, check out the new prices here.
