Honda CB125 Hornet: Ride Your Rizz

The Honda CB125 Hornet is designed for today’s urban youth, combining aggressive street-style design with advanced features and thrilling performance. It sports a bold front fascia that gives it a commanding road presence, complemented by an all-LED lighting setup, including a signature twin-LED headlamp with LED DRLs and high-mounted LED turn indicators. Moving to the side profile, the CB125 Hornet gets a muscular fuel tank with sharp tank shrouds and a stylish muffler.

Adding flair to its premium touch are the first-in-segment golden USD front forks, along with a 5-step adjustable mono-shock absorber that aids in providing superior handling to the motorcycle. The unique positioning of the ignition key on the fuel tank adds to both convenience and style. Further accentuating the new CB125 Hornet’s street-smart character are multi-spoke alloy wheels and a split seat set-up for better comfort of both rider and pillion.

Designed to match the style and preferences of new-age riders, the all-new CB125 Hornet is offered in four dynamic colour options with striking combinations. They are – Pearl Siren Blue with Lemon Ice Yellow, Pearl Igneous Black, Pearl Siren Blue with Athletic Blue Metallic, and Pearl Siren Blue with Sports Red. In terms of features, it gets a 4.2-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity and Honda RoadSync app compatibility.

Thanks to the Honda RoadSync app, the riders can focus on the road and still stay connected with seamless access to navigation, calls & SMS alerts, and music playback with a headset. The screen can be toggled by the switches placed on the left handlebar. The CB125 Hornet gets a Universal USB Type-C charging port, enabling riders to charge their devices while on the go. Moreover, it comes equipped with an engine stop switch & a side-stand indicator with engine inhibitor for added safety.

Powering the all-new CB125 Hornet is a 123.94cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected, OBD2B-compliant engine that churns out 8.2 kW of power at 7500 RPM and 11.2 Nm of peak torque at 6000 RPM. The engine comes paired with a 5-speed gearbox. It can sprint from 0 to 60 km/h in just 5.4 seconds, making it the fastest motorcycle in its class. With a lightweight build of just 124 kg and a power-packed performance, the CB125 Hornet offers effortless maneuverability and instant thrill.

Braking duties are handled by a 240mm petal disc at the front and a 130mm drum at the rear. The inclusion of the petal disc enhances heat dissipation & improves cooling, thus improving braking efficiency. Moreover, as an added safety measure, the CB125 Hornet is equipped with a single-channel ABS. It rides on wide tubeless tyres – 80/100-17 unit at the front and a 110/80-17 unit at the rear. This setup instills confidence in the rider to take on every ride with ease and control.
