The Honda CB125 Hornet has been designed with the aspirations of young, urban riders in mind. Showcasing an aggressive street-style design, it boasts a muscular fuel tank with sharp shrouds, a stylish muffler, and four striking colour options that enhance its road presence. The motorcycle’s premium appeal is further elevated by its first-in-segment golden USD front forks and a 5-step adjustable mono-shock absorber for superior handling. Adding to both convenience and style, the ignition key finds a unique positioning on the fuel tank. Further accentuating the New Hornet CB 125’s street smart character are multi-spoke alloy wheels and a split seat set-up for better comfort of both rider and pillion.
Packed with advanced features, the Hornet 125 comes equipped with an all-LED lighting system, including a signature twin-LED headlamp with DRLs and high-mounted turn indicators. It also gets a 4.2-inch TFT display with Bluetooth-enabled Honda RoadSync connectivity. This allows seamless access to navigation, calls & SMS alerts, and music playback with a headset. Switches placed on the left handlebar allow easy toggling of the screen. The Hornet 125cc also features a Universal USB Type-C charging port, enabling riders to charge their devices on the go. Moreover, it comes equipped with an engine stop switch & a side-stand indicator with engine inhibitor for added safety.
