User Review of Unicorn by Raghavendar

Honda Unicorn is an outstanding bike for anyone looking for a smooth and comfortable city ride. It offers excellent value for money in the 150–160cc segment. I’ve been riding it for 3 years, and it has proven to be highly reliable with very low maintenance costs. The engine runs effortlessly, the handling is superb, and the overall performance makes every ride enjoyable. If you want a durable, efficient, and stylish bike, Unicorn is the perfect choice!

About the Reviewer

The 162.7 cc BS6 PGM-Fi engine is the standout feature, known for its buttery smooth operation and minimal vibrations, especially when ridden in the 60-80 km/h range. This refinement is key to its effortless feel during steady cruising.
- The "lazy" torque: The 162.7cc engine produces 14 Nm of torque at just 5500 RPM. This is crucial. Unlike rivals that need to be revved high to find power, the Unicorn offers its pulling power very early in the rev range.
- The engine delivers power smoothly and consistently, with good low-to-mid range torque, making it easy to maintain a constant speed on highways without constantly working the gearbox.
- Mileage: When cruising at a consistent 70-80 km/h, owners report impressive fuel efficiency (around 50-53 km/l), which adds to its viability as a long-distance tourer or intercity commuter.
- Front suspension is soft and absorbs most potholes with ease and it comes with single channel ABS which is very reassuring.
- While smooth at moderate speeds, We will expect noticeable vibrations when pushing the bike above 85-90 km/h. Stability can also be affected by strong crosswinds at higher speeds due to its light weight.
- The Honda Unicorn 160 BS6 lives up to its reputation as a reliable and comfortable machine for effortless, relaxed cruising. It's an excellent choice for riders who prioritize a smooth, dependable, and economical ride for daily commutes and occasional long trips at moderate speeds.

About the Reviewer

Pro-
Milage, looks(no nonsense plastic bulking), excellent pick up in low and mid range and decent in top range (tested upto 90), comfort (no vibration), great suspension after 40.
Con-
Rear drum brake is useless, enough to steer the bike but not strong enough to stop. Needed disc in rear. Under 40 you can feel road unevenness.

About the Reviewer

I purchased bike 1 Lakh 42 thousand 1.5 year ago, I am not satisfied with the Honda Unicorn bike; not worth value of money. They need to work on below points
1. Headlight Performance is Poor:
Very low brightness and weak throw, making night riding unsafe.
2. Battery Issue Within 1.5 Years:
The battery drained and needed replacement much earlier than expected.
3. Self-Start / Switch-Start Problem:
Button start not after 1.5 years.
4. Colour Fading and Peeling
Body paint started to remove and fading within 1.5 years, showing low paint quality.
5. Not as Reliable as Expected
These early failures reduce confidence in the bike’s overall durability.

About the Reviewer

This is a good bike with steady performance in daily use. The engine feels smooth in traffic and on open roads. Pickup is decent and the mileage stays consistent. Handling is easy even in crowded areas and the ride quality is comfortable on rough patches. Overall it delivers reliable performance without any problems so far

About the Reviewer

I bought a unicorn bike 2 months back. This is not the first time I bought it, this is the 3rd bike. I have only used the unicorn bike since the beginning and there are a total of 4 bikes in our house including my bike. Unicorn means a one-horned horse. This bike also runs like a horse. Honda company is really 100 percent correct in naming this bike unicorn.

About the Reviewer

I have many other bike but this is awesome. I have been driving this since 4 months. This give me comfort and best mileage. Comfort of this bike is very good in high ways this performance is very very good. The maintenance cost of this is low. I have driven it in high ways and also in city and also in villages this is perfect. But I think the ground clearance is slightly low for village rides.

About the Reviewer

All honda bike best and unicorn are all is best bike
The Honda Unicorn is a good commuter offering in the 160cc segment. With the 2025 update, the bike now has a lot more to offer. But when compared to its rivals like the TVS Apache RTR 160 2V, the bike falls short in the features department and the update hasn't changed it. But overall, it has an amazing engine with great levels of refinement. If you are looking for a simple no-nonsense commuter in the 160cc segment then the Unicorn is worth considering
