Honda CB Hornet 160R gets new colour options

Honda has revamped the colour options of the CB Hornet 160R. The company has added two new colours - Athletic Blue Metallic and Sports Red. Both these colours get some white detailing on the fuel tank and below the rider seat.

Meanwhile, the regular single-shade colours - Orange Metallic, Sports Red, Pearl Amazing White, Pearl Nightstar Black and Pearl Siren Blue, have been discontinued. In addition to the aforementioned two new colours, the Hornet 160R can also be opted with the Striking Green and Mars Orange schemes, which were introduced as a special edition in August last year.

The CB Hornet 160R is already compliant with BS-IV emission norms. It is powered by a 162.71 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that now puts out 15.05 BHP @ 8,500 rpm and 14.76 Nm of torque @ 6,500 rpm. This marks a slight decrement in power output as the Hornet's engine was earlier rated at 15.6 BHP. Transmission duties are handled by a 5-speed gearbox. The bike is now lighter by around 2 kg, as the standard version weighs 138 kg and the CBS equipped model tips the scales at 140 kg.
