The rear continues to get a 130 mm drum brake set-up.

Power figures remain the same on the 2019 CB Unicorn 150 with the 149.2 cc single-cylinder engine churning out 12.73 bhp at 5500 rpm and 12.8 Nm of peak torque at 5500 rpm. The motor is paired with a 5-speed gearbox.

The bike gets telescopic forks up front and a monoshock unit at the rear. In terms of features, the CB Unicorn 150 gets an analogue instrument console, tubeless tyres, chrome accents on the headlamp, exhaust and carburettor cover. The fuel tank capacity stands at 13 litres. The motorcycle is offered in three colour options - black, red and grey. The CB Unicorn 150 ABS competes against a host of other long running motorcycles in this space including the Bajaj Pulsar 150, Hero Achiever 150 and the TVS Apache RTR 160.
