Honda
Motorcycle and Scooter India has
unveiled the new X-Blade BSVI 160cc motorcycle. The new X-Blade will be
available in two variants – Single disc & Double disc in four colours -
Pearl Spartan Red, Pearl Igneous Black, Matte Axis Grey Metallic and Matte
Marvel Blue Metallic. The price for X-Blade BSVI starts from Rs. 1,05,325
(Single disc version, ex-showroom Noida, Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh).
The
new X-Blade comes with a new Bharat Stage VI compliant Honda’s mid-size
advanced 160cc PGM-FI HET (Honda Eco Technology) engine. PGM-Fi is a system
that uses 8 onboard sensors to constantly inject optimum fuel and air mixture
to provide greater performance and superior efficiency. The compression ratio
of 10:1 and spiny sleeves on outer surface leads to punchy performance. Smooth
power delivery is ensured with a needle bearing rockerarm which helps in
reduction of friction losses.
The
new engine also comes equipped with counter weight balancer which reduces
vibrations and helps in delivering smooth acceleration from low to high rpm. The
engine is tuned to deliver extra torque and super mileage.
The
high-performance rear mono shock suspension is housed below the seat and
mounted on the advanced tough and flexible diamond frame, offering superior
riding comfort and stability.
The
petal shape cut on the disc brake dissipates heat effectively which improves
the overall braking efficiency. A combination of front and new rear disc brakes
provides effective braking and better control. The new Honda X-Blade BSVI comes
equipped with ABS (Anti-lock braking system).
A
new Engine Stop Switch provides the convenience of turning-off the engine on
brief stops with the flick of a switch. Ensuring safety of riders in low
visibility conditions is the hazard switch that flashes indicator lights.
The
digital meter comes with advance features- Gear Position Indicator (gives
information about engaged gear in all road conditions), Digital Clock (shows
time) and Service Due Indicator (informs when the vehicle requires service).
The
130mm wide rear tyre with hugger fender, long wheelbase(1347mm)enhance
stability on bad roads and ensures comfort during longer rides. A long (582mm) &
wide (337mm) seat provides ample space for a comfortable long-distance
traveling. It comes with seal chain which needs less frequent adjustments and
low maintenance cost.
The
motorcycle is equipped with a robo-faced LED headlamp with the razor-edged LED
tail lamp. Adding sportier demeanor to X-Blade is the aggressive sculpted tank
design and dual outlet muffler. The looks are further accentuated by link type
gear shifter, groovy grab rail, stylish wheel stripes, sporty under cowl &front
fork cover, sharp side covers and hugger fender. A new dynamic graphics on fuel
tank and side covers enhance the identity of X-Blade.
