Honda India has introduced the NX200, a rebranded version of the CB200X, at a price of Rs 1.68 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). While the motorcycle retains most of the CB200X’s styling and mechanicals, Honda has made some key feature upgrades, making it a more appealing option in the entry-level adventure touring segment.
Design
The NX200 carries forward the same rugged yet stylish design of the CB200X, with only minor cosmetic tweaks. The bodywork, windscreen, and overall proportions remain largely unchanged. The adventure-style stance, upright riding posture, and comfortable ergonomics make it well-suited for city commuting as well as light touring.
Features
One of the biggest upgrades on the NX200 is the addition of dual-channel ABS, which significantly improves braking performance and rider safety. The bike now also comes with a new TFT instrument cluster that offers Bluetooth integration, allowing riders to access call and SMS notifications on the go. These updates enhance the NX200’s appeal, bringing it up to speed with modern expectations in the segment.
Engine and Performance
The NX200 is powered by the same 184cc, single-cylinder engine that was seen on the CB200X. While Honda has not revealed any changes in performance figures, the engine is now OBD2B compliant, meeting the latest emission norms.
Here’s a quick look at the expected engine specifications:
| Engine | 184cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled |
|---|---|
| Power | 17bhp (approx) |
| Torque | 16.1Nm (approx) |
| Transmission | 5-speed gearbox |
Honda has not provided official fuel efficiency figures yet, but considering its predecessor, the NX200 is expected to offer decent mileage for city and highway riding.
Availability and Colors
The Honda NX200 will be sold exclusively through Honda’s premium BigWing dealerships. It will be available in three color options, though Honda has not specified the exact shades yet. Bookings for the bike have already begun, and deliveries are expected to start in March.
NX Series in India
With the launch of the NX200, Honda now sells two motorcycles under the NX branding in India. The NX500, which is positioned as a more premium adventure touring motorcycle, is the other offering in this lineup. By rebranding the CB200X as the NX200, Honda aims to leverage the stronger brand recall of the NX name in the Indian market.
The Honda NX200 brings useful upgrades while keeping the familiar formula of the CB200X intact. With dual-channel ABS, a TFT display, and Bluetooth connectivity, it offers better value for riders looking for a small-capacity adventure-style motorcycle. Given its pricing and features, it is expected to attract young riders and daily commuters who want a stylish and versatile bike.
