Honda X-Blade Bookings Commence In India; To Be Priced Under Rs. 79,000

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has commenced accepting bookings for the new X-Blade premium commuter motorcycle across all its dealerships. The new Honda X-Blade was unveiled at the Auto Expo 2018 and will be positioned below the Honda CB Hornet 160R in the manufacturer's stable. In fact, the new X-Blade shares its underpinnings with the Hornet 160R, while getting a sharper design language and an all-LED headlamp cluster, the latter being increasingly common in Honda's product line-up. HMSI says the decision to open bookings for the X-Blade was taken after the overwhelming response to the X-Blade at the Auto Expo 2018. The new motorcycle will be competing against the likes of the Suzuki Gixxer and the Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 in the segment.

The new Honda X-Blade is built on the Honda CB Hornet 160R platform, sharing the same engine, chassis and cycle parts. Honda says the engine has been tuned differently to give the X-Blade better in-city performance, while offering superior fuel economy. The X-Blade gets re-worked bodywork, as well as an all-new, full LED headlamp cluster and is available in a choice of five different colours. Priced under Rs. 79,000 (ex-showroom), the Honda X-Blade offers a stylish and youthful 160 cc motorcycle at a very attractive price.
