Honda has introduced the 2025 Hornet 2.0 in India, bringing several updates to its popular streetfighter motorcycle. Priced at Rs. 1.57 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the latest model is Rs. 14,000 costlier than its predecessor.
Key Updates
The 2025 Hornet 2.0 gets the same updates as the new Honda NX200. Some of the most notable changes include:
- 4.2-inch TFT display replacing the older LCD console
- Bluetooth connectivity via the Honda RoadSync app
- Navigation support, call alerts, and SMS notifications on the TFT screen
- USB-C charging port for on-the-go convenience
- Traction control system for added safety
- Dual-channel ABS as standard
These features make the new Hornet 2.0 more tech-savvy and safer than before.
Engine and Performance
The bike continues to use the 184cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, but it is now OBD2B-compliant to meet the latest emission norms. The power and torque figures have seen a minor drop:
| Specification | 2025 Hornet 2.0 | Previous Model |
|---|---|---|
| Power | 16.7bhp | 17bhp |
| Torque | 15.7Nm | 16.1Nm |
It still comes with a five-speed gearbox and features an assist and slipper clutch for smoother shifts and better control.
Suspension and Braking
Honda has retained the same hardware from the previous model:
- 17-inch alloy wheels for agility
- USD forks at the front for better handling
- Monoshock suspension at the rear for improved comfort
- Disc brakes on both ends with dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety
Styling and Colors
While the bodywork remains unchanged, the 2025 Hornet 2.0 gets new graphics and four color options:
- Pearl Igneous Black
- Radiant Red Metallic
- Athletic Blue Metallic
- Mat Axis Gray Metallic
These new graphics and colors give the Hornet 2.0 a refreshed look while maintaining its aggressive design.
With these updates, the 2025 Honda Hornet 2.0 now offers more tech and safety features, justifying the price increase. The new TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, traction control, and dual-channel ABS make it a more attractive choice for buyers in the premium commuter segment. However, the slight drop in power and torque may not go unnoticed by enthusiasts.
For riders looking for a feature-packed, stylish, and reliable streetfighter, the new Hornet 2.0 remains a strong contender in its segment.
