Buying experience: The buying experience was quite good, the staff was quite eager to help and even arranged a test ride on the same day.Riding experience: The riding experience was excellent as I was coming from Honda Shine, the hornet has a better platform, riding posture bigger engine etc, so overall riding experience was fabulous.This is one of the best-looking bikes in the segment especially those golden USD forks and rear x-shaped tail lights.Performance: with 17ps of power and 16 nm of torque it was a much more powerful bike compared to my previous bike shine and performance were awesome, especially in the mid-range power band and I was getting quite good mileage (40-50) kmpl.The service center of my area is decent although I haven't faced any major issues basic service like oil change, brake pads replacement etc was good.Pros :Looks Performance especially in mid-rangeHandling Mileage Cons:Overpriced compared to rivalsLow. Ground clearance Stiff suspension Hope this helps

Superb riding experience
8 weeks ago
Sachin
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 quality2. Excellent ride experience3. Decent performance according to 184cc engine4. Good for short riders. I am 5'3" and I can easily ride this bike with ease5. Excellent braking on both sides. 6. Good throttle response7. 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 aspect10. 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.

Tips for other riders
Do wash and lube the chain between 500 km-1000 km at your own or any local garages. I did visit my nearby authorized service center and I feel cheated. They wash the chain with high-pressured water which will damage the O-rings in the chain and lubed it with used engine oil which will make a real mess with lots of dust and debris and provides very poor lubrication. Can't say about other Honda-authorised service centers. Also do adjust the headlight alignment as soon as you buy this motorcycle. And also adjust the pressure in both tires. The showroom fills the tire with air more than it requires which results in more stiffer riding experience. The optimal pressure for the front it 25psi and for the back 29psi.

The MOST underrated beast!!!
11 weeks ago
Gaurav Bawadkar
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!!

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.

Superb riding experience
8 weeks ago
Sachin
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 quality2. Excellent ride experience3. Decent performance according to 184cc engine4. Good for short riders. I am 5'3" and I can easily ride this bike with ease5. Excellent braking on both sides. 6. Good throttle response7. 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 aspect10. 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.

Tips for other riders
Do wash and lube the chain between 500 km-1000 km at your own or any local garages. I did visit my nearby authorized service center and I feel cheated. They wash the chain with high-pressured water which will damage the O-rings in the chain and lubed it with used engine oil which will make a real mess with lots of dust and debris and provides very poor lubrication. Can't say about other Honda-authorised service centers. Also do adjust the headlight alignment as soon as you buy this motorcycle. And also adjust the pressure in both tires. The showroom fills the tire with air more than it requires which results in more stiffer riding experience. The optimal pressure for the front it 25psi and for the back 29psi.

The MOST underrated beast!!!
11 weeks ago
Gaurav Bawadkar
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!!

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.

Hornet 2.0 genuine user review
5 days ago
Shiv Shah
Buying experience: The buying experience was quite good, the staff was quite eager to help and even arranged a test ride on the same day.Riding experience: The riding experience was excellent as I was coming from Honda Shine, the hornet has a better platform, riding posture bigger engine etc, so overall riding experience was fabulous.This is one of the best-looking bikes in the segment especially those golden USD forks and rear x-shaped tail lights.Performance: with 17ps of power and 16 nm of torque it was a much more powerful bike compared to my previous bike shine and performance were awesome, especially in the mid-range power band and I was getting quite good mileage (40-50) kmpl.The service center of my area is decent although I haven't faced any major issues basic service like oil change, brake pads replacement etc was good.Pros :Looks Performance especially in mid-rangeHandling Mileage Cons:Overpriced compared to rivalsLow. Ground clearance Stiff suspension Hope this helps
