User Review of Hornet 2.0 by Divyanshu

This is the best bike that money can buy under 1.7 lakhs. On paper, it doesn't feel any competitive but once you ride this bike, it gives you the most satisfying riding experience. I did a test ride on multiple bikes but this bike gave me the best riding experience.
PROS:
1. Excellent handling quality
2. Excellent ride experience
3. Decent performance according to 184cc engine
4. Good for short riders. I am 5'3" and I can easily ride this bike with ease
5. Excellent braking on both sides.
6. Good throttle response
7. Good enough comfort for daily commuting. I travel 32 km daily for my college and I feel no pain riding on this bike. In fact, I enjoy riding this bike more.
8. Excellent build quality.
9. Excellent quality in every aspect
10. Golden Upside-down fork manufactured by shows on the front suspension. Only a few bikes under 2 lakhs offer this quality suspension.
11. One of the widest tires (on both front and rear sides) in the segment (under 2 lakhs) which provides excellent handling quality.
12. Huge petal disk brake on both front and rear side which is calibrated by Nissin which provides excellent braking.
13. Good instrument cluster with basic features.
14. All LED setups. If that matters to you.
15. And of course, amazing mileage compared to the performance it gives. On average, I get 50-55 kmpl.
CONS:
1. No dual-channel ABS. Only single-channel ABS.
2. Stiff suspension setup. Although it improves handling quality.
3. Not catchy exhaust note if that matters to you.
4. Good engine refinement but not as good as Honda standards.
5. Only Air-cooled engines.
6. Poor headlight throw area. The brightness of the light is good though.
7. Not catchy rearview mirror design.
Overall you can buy this motorcycle without thinking too much about it. But it's better to have a test ride on this bike if this bike suits you or not.

About the Reviewer

After a very long period of searching for the perfect bike, I finally settled on Hornet 2.0
You'll find many reviews on Youtube so no need for a detailed explanation.
Just remember the following key points:-
1) I am using XP95 petrol and getting 48 Kmpl in the city (Hinjewadi-Wakad) (currently riding below 60 kmph)(This is before 1st servicing!)(accurate mileage test 3 times till now)
2) This is the 2024 model and is a lot better and improved than the 2021-22 models (Almost all the issues are resolved)
3) For comfort- Yes it is a little stiff but here's the catch- maintain 25psi in front and 29psi in rear(with pillion) (25psi without pillion)and you'll discover a whole new additional dimension of comfort💯(based on experience)
4) For mileage improvement- Don't use the clutch unnecessarily, gentle throttle opening, and maintain the recommended tire pressure.
5) The rider as well as the pillion seat is on a firm and comfortable side
6) Engine heating is normal and will be updated after the highway-long trip.
7) The only issue encountered till now is the gear downshifting. (gears getting stuck while downshifting and requires adjusting the clutch). Will get it resolved in first servicing. (gear upshifting is buttery smooth!)
At the end, completely satisfied with the Hornet 2.0 and will recommend it to anyone who is looking for the most refined engine with excellent torque, daily city and highway commute, a large pillion seat, great power, and excellent mileage combo!!

About the Reviewer

The price is high and not given dual ABS. The riding experience is ok, look like a wow just looking like a wow, performance is best. Service is necessary at every 2000km so that bike maintenance is low and performance is better. It's all pros and cons. Its headlights are the best, tires are ok but ok, the name is superb.

About the Reviewer

1. Bought Grey matte Hornet 2.0 in August 2022 with a price of 1.74 l. Delivered within 1 week. That's quite a good one.
2. Mileage is awesome at this price segment and for the power. I'm getting 47 to 50 kmpl. It depends on how you are riding. I'm using it for daily purposes which is a minimum 12km ride of every day. Long ride as a solo rider, this is the best one, but with a pillion quite difficult.
3. Looks are awesome and stylish. Easy to handle and will make you feel so comfortable and confident to ride in cities as a solo rider. Performance, initial pick up as usual good for 0 - 40 after that with the rpm of 5k, between 40 to 90, he is a beast. Easy ride in cities. No vibration at all till 110 kmph.
4. Service is good because of honda but we need to pinpoint the service centres regarding all the problems. The battery will be fused off once the battery warranty is finished within the next month. Due to direct fuel injection, rpm will vary at the initial start of the day for 2km as it needs to get temperature.
