Honda XBlade Highlights

Honda launched the X-Blade BS6 in India at a starting price of Rs 1,06,687, which made it around Rs 17,500 more expensive than its BS4-compliant predecessor. If that wasn't expensive already, Honda has once again hiked the price of the bike by Rs 576. 

Honda X-Blade BS6 Price:

The Honda X-Blade BS6 is now priced at Rs 1,06,687 for the rear drum brake-equipped variant. The rear disc brake variant, on the other hand costs Rs 1,10,968 (all prices, ex-showroom Delhi). The BS6 bike is available in four colours as opposed to five in the BS4 compliant model. It gets an all-new Unicorn-derived engine and a bunch of other updates.

Honda X-Blade BS6 Features:

Not much has changed in terms of features in the Honda X-Blade BS6. It continues to use an LED headlamp, hazard lamps function, all-digital instrument cluster with gear shift indicator and a service reminder. That said, Honda has equipped the motorcycle with a new engine kill switch for added convenience. It also gets a rear 220mm petal disc as an option for better braking performance. Honda continues to offer a single-channel ABS as standard.

Honda X-Blade BS6 Engine:

The Honda X-Blade BS6 draws power from the same 162.71cc single-cylinder air-cooled, fuel-injected, counterbalanced engine that you find on the new Unicorn BS6. However, it is tuned differently, producing 13.8PS at 8000rpm and 14.7Nm at 5500rpm. In comparison, the BS4 XBlade made 14.12PS and 13.9Nm. The addition of the counterbalancer should make the engine more refined. It is linked to the same 5-speed transmission as before.

Honda X-Blade BS6 Suspension & Brakes:

There is nothing too fancy to find on the Honda X-Blade BS6 in terms of underpinnings as the frame is suspended by a telescopic fork and a monoshock. Braking duties are handled by a 276mm front disc and 130mm rear drum, single-channel ABS is standard. There’s now a 220mm petal disc offered as an option too. The bike tips the scales at 143kg kerb (base rear drum brake variant), which is 1kg more than the BS4 model. The rear disc brake-equipped variant weighs 1kg more than the drum version.

Honda X-Blade BS6 Rivals:

The Honda X-Blade competes against the Bajaj Pulsar 150 and the TVS Apache RTR 160 2V. However, in its price bracket, the bike also goes up against the Bajaj Pulsar 180F, TVS Apache RTR 180, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Bajaj Pulsar NS160, Yamaha FZ-S V3, Suzuki Gixxer and Hero Xtreme 160R.
