After unveiling it at the Auto Expo 2018, Honda has silently launched the X-Blade for Rs 78,500 (ex-showroom Delhi). The company had only recently opened that the bookings of the motorcycle while suggesting that it would be priced below Rs 79,000.
In terms of design, the most notable feature of the X-Blade is its robot inspired headlamp along with muscular fuel tank extensions and a dual outlet muffler. The Honda X-Blade packs a digital instrument cluster and gets LED lighting on both the headlamp and the tail lamp. It also opts for a single-saddle unit, instead of split seats.
Power comes from a 162.71cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder motor that delivers 14PS at 8,500rpm and 13.9Nm of torque at 6000rpm. Transmission duties are handled by a 5-speed gearbox.
Honda has equipped the X-Blade with a diamond-type frame, which is suspended upon conventional telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock unit at the back. Braking is handled by a 276mm disc at the front and a 130mm drum unit at the rear. It packs a 12-litre fuel tank and tips the scale at 140kg (kerb).
Honda offers the X-Blade in five different colour options - Blue, Black, Matte Silver, Red and Matte Green. It will go up against the Hero Xtreme Sports, which is priced at Rs 78,226 and the Suzuki Gixxer, priced at Rs 77,015 (all prices ex-showroom Delhi). Stay tuned for more on the Honda X-Blade as we take it for a spin soon.

It's a nice bike with double disc brakes, and its exhaust sound has a good bass noise that I appreciate. Moreover, it is very comfortable, I love it.
My go-to agent for megacity commuting is the Honda XBlade, which offers a quick 162.71 cc Engine that guarantees a smooth and operative lift. Its angular styling and skillful running make it a great self-determination for smoothly controlling through assiduous metropolitan roads and occasionally weekend recesses. Although the bike could have further sophisticated features, drivers who appear for a blend between performance style and mileage frequently take it for its emotional energy, frugality, and athletic appearance. I have set up a reliable and fashionable agent that suits my standard sorties with the Honda XBlade, guaranteeing that every trip is a symphonious combination of interpretation and performance style.Read More
I bought this bike around 6 months ago and have ridden over 5000 kilometers on it. The Honda XBlade is a reliable and comfortable performer. The engine is refined and provides good power throughout the range. The bike handles well in city traffic as well as on the highway due to its lightweight chassis and balanced riding position. The fuel efficiency is also quite good at around 40 kmpl which keeps the running cost low. The only minor issues I have faced are some vibration at high speeds and low-quality switch gear.Read More
