Setting a new trend in the evolving 180-200cc motorcycle segment, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Pvt. Ltd on Thursday launched the all-new CB200X in India. The all-new CB200X, ready for both a busy weekday city commute as well as short weekend relaxed rides beyond cityscapes, is priced at Rs 1,44,500 ex-showroom (ex-showroom, Gurugram).
The new motorcycle will start arriving at the Honda 2-Wheeler network from September 2021.
The CB200X wears an upswept exhaust thus accentuating its rugged & sporty yet premium character further. The sharply designed under cowl adds a striking appeal.
Eliminating fatigue arising from riding posture are the perfectly positioned foot pegs, raised & swaged handlebar inspired from Honda’s high-end machines that add the right amount of ruggedness & strength to CB200X’s design philosophy.
A tall visor allows the rider to move freely with minimum resistance, and compliments the overall appeal of the motorcycle.
The all-new CB200X comes equipped with knuckle covers integrated LED winker thus lending the bike an extra layer of confidence when exploring nearby trails. They not only protect the rider from external surroundings but also add a dash of boldness to the overall package.
Long and comfortable Sporty Split Seat (613mm) ensures that both the rider and pillion are always at ease. An accessible seat height (810 mm) inspires riding confidence and comfort.
Nothing reflects strength with ample amount of style like the CB200X. The unique lightweight stylish 5Y Shaped Alloy Wheels enhance the overall ride quality and handling on uneven rough terrain.
The Golden Upside Down (USD) front forks deliver utmost precision while steering and enhance the high-end appeal. Complementing both form as well as functionality is the Fully Digital Liquid Crystal Meter bringing better visibility in both bright & dark conditions. Key information like Gear Position Indicator, Service Due Indicator and Battery Voltmeter is also available on the screen with 5-level adjustable brightness.
The CB200X has got all-LED lighting setup (LED headlamp with position lamp, LED winkers and iconic X-Shaped LED tail lamp).
The tough tread pattern tyres (Front 110mm & Rear 140mm) give excellent street performance and ample grip. To ensure efficient braking control over a wide variety of roads, CB200X is equipped with Petal Disc Brakes (Front & Rear) with ABS.
While the Engine Stop Switch makes it convenient to turn-off the ignition with a simple flick, Hazard Switch feature adds to the safety of riders in low visibility condition. Key on tank placement amplifies its street fighter character while adding more convenience to the rider.
The BS6-compliant engine of the new CB200X is powered by 184cc PGM-FI engine, which puts out 12.7 kW and 16.1 Nm. Diamond-type steel frame ensures outstanding stability and agile handling.
Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Pvt. Ltd is offering 6-year warranty package (3 years standard + 3 years optional extended warranty) on the new CB200X.
