    Style a fully digital meter console, large headlamps, h-shape tail lamp and improved ergonomics makes new stiches to new unicorn 160.


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox a new 160 cc engine boost up tork and bhp of bike and make of simple toe-peg gear lever is a good thing here. The fuel economy is of 45 kmpl for first service.


    Ride quality & handling all things are perfect and same as old unicorn 150.


    Final words improved engine performance and some boost in mileage figures are remarkable here.


    Areas of improvement body work and its dimensions.

    Pros

    new engine, power, mileage and simple looks

    cons

    old become to new one.

  • Good performance

    9 years ago


    Ramesh Balaji K

    Style the style is ok for both young and middle age people. Head light design and power is good.


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox engine performance is good. As for fuel economy, i got 56 kmpl in city condition. Gear shifting not that much smooth.


    Ride quality & handling good in this area. Upto now, i have reached the maximum speed of 50 km/hr only. Because my first service is not yet completed.


    Final words overall performance is good for this bike.


    Areas of improvement missing items: rear disc brake, gear position indicator, stylish stickering, fuel injection.


    Requirements: engine kill switch, side stand alarm.

    Pros

    mileage, digital console

    cons

    tank design

  • Value for money bike. Better than hornet.

    6 years ago


    Deepak Kumar

    This bike is daily commuter bike.. Engine is very smooth, suspension is good, if u r thinking to buy hornet i would say only go if you like design... But design element is subjective part.. Unicorn have very good riding position than hornet... 160cc bike which gives 14.5 bhp power and saves around 15 thousand rupee and gives you decent performance and better fuel ? economy. I would say the build quality is good in this bike. I am in love with this bike. Buy and you will be sure trust me unicorn will never let you regret power delivery is superb and linear and throttle response is way far better than pulsar in terms on durability .. Very comfortable seats compared to others bike in this segment.. Cons - engine kill switch is absent and price is little high i bought it for 82000 on road. No cons other than this. Brothers don't you feel awesome honda is giving you a 160cc bike at 82000 on road and also tell me which bike in 160cc segment gives you 50kmpl+ for sure after 2 years of purchase ... It is honda the world best bike manufacturer company... Honda is honda... Close your eyes and just go for it...

  • Honda is best in its class and this one is no exception

    9 years ago


    Amol

    Style honda would have worked more on style .


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox it has good mileage. I found it 45 kmpl even before 1st serv. Het is best in its class. Gear shifting from 1st to 2nd is annoying as most of the time you can get it to neutral when speed is around 20kmph.


    Ride quality & handling handling is good in traffice. You can easily take it out.


    Final words its honda and blindly you can go for it. I am a happy owner though compromised in few areas. Unicorn 160 is good for long run and office going commuters. Looks are better than old unicorn but not that sporty as honda introduced it as sporty model. Engine sound is smoothing and feels you like driving car.


    Areas of improvement honda introduced this bike for the age group of 25- 35 but most buyers are office commuters . It need more style in riding posture and switch gear need improvements. Honda have increased engine capicity but it emits some heat near your legs. (May be new bike emits heat). I also found difficulty in putting it on reserve.I am waiting for after servicing performance of this bike.

    Pros

    good economy, smooth engine,

    cons

    style, switchgear

  • Hole for your pocket

    9 years ago


    Venkat

    Style it has avg looks, and not in competition when it comes to style.


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox


    engine is very smooth and silent.


    Fuel economy doesn't seem to be that good. It may be between 40 to 45kmpl, before first service, i only travelled around 60kms so far in moderate traffic conditions.


    Gearbox some times gives trouble, initially it was stuck between 1st and 2nd gear and also between 4th and 5th gears. Its definetly not comfortable at times.


    Ride quality & handling : if you are on a smooth road the ride quality is the best. Even on small road un-evenness the vibrations could be felt on your spine. Handling again is the best in class. Its lighter and moving in the traffic at higher speeds also very good.


    Final words not worth the money you are investing. Might very soon have spine problems due to vibrations.


    Apart from the suspension and gear box glitches it is best in most of the things. Pickup also upto the standards. I wonder wheather the suspension really working or not. Its pathetic and even for 5kms ride on a little un-even road, you will feel tired. It may be best on highways.


    Areas of improvement : definetly the suspension. Gear shifting, style, stand alarm, fuel economy.

    Pros

    engine performance, fully digital display

    cons

    worst suspension, gear shifting

  • Worse then old unicorn

    8 years ago


    Ashish Kumar Singh

    Style good.


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox pickup is good, 🙂 top speed is 106 ( in speedo meter)☹ not start with kick in gear(like splandor) 😷 front indicators are create problem sometimes while u are in rush☹ choke location is near engine😷 cold start problem😷 milage is good about 50 kmpl in city, 😎 gear shift sound in 1,2,3 gears☹


    ride quality &
    handling
    good.


    Final words overall bike is not so good as expectation with honda. I have an old unicorn 2005 model which is much better than this in performance.


    Self of this 160 is gone within 3 months while i assume a long life of this bike, its handel i was go to showroom for 3 times because it get hard with in some days.


    Areas of improvement i think ( may be possible) honda never listen about his customers as experienced me.

    Pros

    milage, power, pickup

    cons

    top speed, electric switch

  • An awesome bike from honda manufacturer

    8 years ago


    Kiran S

    Style it best suits for family person but also it looks stylish for young people. It is better style by honda compared with other set of bikes


    engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox i have brought this bike in june. Mileage was 56kmph(in city condition) before 1st service. I did servicing during july and to my surprise it has given mileage of 63.5Kmph(in city condition). Engine performance is good when you ride speed more than 60km/h.


    Ride quality & handling specially when i compared handling with other bikes like unicorn150, hero extreme and apache. It feels me unicorn 60 is very smooth and easy to handle any turns. Ride in highways is looks amazing.


    Final words i suggest this bike for all honda bikes lovers. If you looks for quality, performance then don't think about any other honda bikes but just go ahead with unicorn160cc. It looks stylish for all kind of ages.


    Areas of improvement i feel gear should have little smooth, it lacks 6th gear, pickup during 1st gear would have been improved.

    Pros

    comfort, mileage, style,

    cons

    lack of 6th gear, pickup during 1st gear

I would say the build quality is good in this bike. I am in love with this bike. Buy and you will be sure trust me unicorn will never let you regret power delivery is superb and linear and throttle response is way far better than pulsar in terms on durability .. Very comfortable seats compared to others bike in this segment.. Cons - engine kill switch is absent and price is little high i bought it for 82000 on road. No cons other than this. Brothers don't you feel awesome honda is giving you a 160cc bike at 82000 on road and also tell me which bike in 160cc segment gives you 50kmpl+ for sure after 2 years of purchase ... It is honda the world best bike manufacturer company... Honda is honda... Close your eyes and just go for it...

  • Honda is best in its class and this one is no exception

    9 years ago


    Amol

    Style honda would have worked more on style .


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox it has good mileage. I found it 45 kmpl even before 1st serv. Het is best in its class. Gear shifting from 1st to 2nd is annoying as most of the time you can get it to neutral when speed is around 20kmph.


    Ride quality & handling handling is good in traffice. You can easily take it out.


    Final words its honda and blindly you can go for it. I am a happy owner though compromised in few areas. Unicorn 160 is good for long run and office going commuters. Looks are better than old unicorn but not that sporty as honda introduced it as sporty model. Engine sound is smoothing and feels you like driving car.


    Areas of improvement honda introduced this bike for the age group of 25- 35 but most buyers are office commuters . It need more style in riding posture and switch gear need improvements. Honda have increased engine capicity but it emits some heat near your legs. (May be new bike emits heat). I also found difficulty in putting it on reserve.I am waiting for after servicing performance of this bike.

    Pros

    good economy, smooth engine,

    cons

    style, switchgear

    Venkat

    Style it has avg looks, and not in competition when it comes to style.


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox


    engine is very smooth and silent.


    Fuel economy doesn't seem to be that good. It may be between 40 to 45kmpl, before first service, i only travelled around 60kms so far in moderate traffic conditions.


    Gearbox some times gives trouble, initially it was stuck between 1st and 2nd gear and also between 4th and 5th gears. Its definetly not comfortable at times.


    Ride quality & handling : if you are on a smooth road the ride quality is the best. Even on small road un-evenness the vibrations could be felt on your spine. Handling again is the best in class. Its lighter and moving in the traffic at higher speeds also very good.


    Final words not worth the money you are investing. Might very soon have spine problems due to vibrations.


    Apart from the suspension and gear box glitches it is best in most of the things. Pickup also upto the standards. I wonder wheather the suspension really working or not. Its pathetic and even for 5kms ride on a little un-even road, you will feel tired. It may be best on highways.


    Areas of improvement : definetly the suspension. Gear shifting, style, stand alarm, fuel economy.

    Pros

    engine performance, fully digital display

    cons

    worst suspension, gear shifting

  • Worse then old unicorn

    8 years ago


    Ashish Kumar Singh

    Style good.


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox pickup is good, 🙂 top speed is 106 ( in speedo meter)☹ not start with kick in gear(like splandor) 😷 front indicators are create problem sometimes while u are in rush☹ choke location is near engine😷 cold start problem😷 milage is good about 50 kmpl in city, 😎 gear shift sound in 1,2,3 gears☹


    ride quality &
    handling
    good.


    Final words overall bike is not so good as expectation with honda. I have an old unicorn 2005 model which is much better than this in performance.


    Self of this 160 is gone within 3 months while i assume a long life of this bike, its handel i was go to showroom for 3 times because it get hard with in some days.


    Areas of improvement i think ( may be possible) honda never listen about his customers as experienced me.

    Pros

    milage, power, pickup

    cons

    top speed, electric switch

  • An awesome bike from honda manufacturer

    8 years ago


    Kiran S

    Style it best suits for family person but also it looks stylish for young people. It is better style by honda compared with other set of bikes


    engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox i have brought this bike in june. Mileage was 56kmph(in city condition) before 1st service. I did servicing during july and to my surprise it has given mileage of 63.5Kmph(in city condition). Engine performance is good when you ride speed more than 60km/h.


    Ride quality & handling specially when i compared handling with other bikes like unicorn150, hero extreme and apache. It feels me unicorn 60 is very smooth and easy to handle any turns. Ride in highways is looks amazing.


    Final words i suggest this bike for all honda bikes lovers. If you looks for quality, performance then don't think about any other honda bikes but just go ahead with unicorn160cc. It looks stylish for all kind of ages.


    Areas of improvement i feel gear should have little smooth, it lacks 6th gear, pickup during 1st gear would have been improved.

    Pros

    comfort, mileage, style,

    cons

    lack of 6th gear, pickup during 1st gear

    9 years ago


    Akhilesh

    Style a fully digital meter console, large headlamps, h-shape tail lamp and improved ergonomics makes new stiches to new unicorn 160.


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox a new 160 cc engine boost up tork and bhp of bike and make of simple toe-peg gear lever is a good thing here. The fuel economy is of 45 kmpl for first service.


    Ride quality & handling all things are perfect and same as old unicorn 150.


    Final words improved engine performance and some boost in mileage figures are remarkable here.


    Areas of improvement body work and its dimensions.

    Pros

    new engine, power, mileage and simple looks

    cons

    Style the style is ok for both young and middle age people. Head light design and power is good.

    Ride quality & handling good in this area. Upto now, i have reached the maximum speed of 50 km/hr only. Because my first service is not yet completed.


    Final words overall performance is good for this bike.


    Areas of improvement missing items: rear disc brake, gear position indicator, stylish stickering, fuel injection.


    Requirements: engine kill switch, side stand alarm.
