Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler review

Automobiles, Featured, Motor Bikes David Peter

After launching commuter friendly but stylish 125 cc (CBF Stunner) and 110 cc (Twister) motorcycles, Honda finally gives us a new 150 cc motorcycle with promise of more style, power and more features in the form of the new CB Unicorn Dazzler. Why does the name “Unicorn” feature on the new bike? Well, the engine of the Dazzler is based on the same 149.1 cc engine of the Unicorn, albeit with high lift cams and tuned to deliver slightly better power. The result is a slightly more powerful (14 bhp comared to the 13.3 bhp of the Unicorn) engine.

The Dazzler also weighs 8 kgs lesser than the Unicorn. As a result of comparitively lesser weight and more power, the power to weight ratio of the bike is more than that of the Unicorn. Coupled with a more rev happy engine, the CB Unicorn Dazzler promises to be an exciting ride, at least on paper.

Special features of Dazzler:

  • A rear disc brake as a standard feature
  •  Digital speedometer display (a first for a Honda bike in India) which also has a digital clock
  • Tubeless tyres (on both wheels as a standard feature)
  • A maintenance free battery
  • Only self start (no kick start)

Price of this bike is 62,990 Rs. in India.
