  • Family bike with sporty look

    5 years ago


    Srinivas Gudapati

    I bought honda x-blade bike in jsp kukatpally, hyderabad showroom on 8th june, 2018, 1. Buying experience: overall buying experience was good. No issues from showroom.2. Riding experience: till now i rode 450 kilo meters in hyderabad city. I covered all type of road and traffic situations. Observed that gears are not that much smooth while changing, some times getting stuck between 2 gears. And front suspensions are not that much smooth and not as expected, rear mono suspension is good. This bike is suitable for guys who's height is at least more than 5 feet 8 inch. 3. Details about looks and performance: look wise excellent, the caption "one look is enough" is perfectly apt for this bike. Performance like pickup is not as expected, it should be better as is 160 cc bike. Engine sound is very smooth while riding the bike. Very good balance when applying front disk brake. I am very very disappointed about the mileage, because it is giving exactly 30 kmpl which is not expected, i have checked the mileage thrice, i was expected more than 40 kmpl before purchasing the bike as it is 160 cc bike. I am expecting at least more than 40kmpl after my first service.4. Servicing and maintenance: till now i didn't get any issues, next week i am giving it for my 1st service.5. Pros and cons: pros: look and design, fully electronic dashboard, gear indicator etc. cons: mileage, pick up, gear shifting, no engine kill switch, no footrest for one side sitting ladies.

  • Awesome

    5 years ago


    Arjun

    It is very good in terms of riding posture & comfort. Engine is refined & silent, there is no vibration in the bike till the speed of 100 kmph. Maintenance is even negligible as compared to other bike of this segment, seat is quite broad & comfortable, led head lamp & tail lamp looks awesome & 4 indicator combine switching on is helpful.Only disadvantage i feel is about it's braking ( disc brakes are not good & even may cause the tyre to slip) it also varies bike to bike. So overall your best companion. I didn't pay any money on it after 4 months of buying..

  • Awesome bike in 160 cc segment.

    5 years ago


    Sivaji

    After raiding 12000 kilometres, i didn't find even a single con towards engine.After first servicing i am getting 68 kmpl mileage on highways and 60 kmpl in city roads.I didn't expect such mileage from a 160cc bike. Though i was riding at 90 kmph there were no vibrations at all.My blade reached the top speed of 120 kmph on national highway 16 and the amazing fact was x blade riders can ride for continues 40 kilometres at 110 kmph speed.I am damn sure about it.No heavy noise and vibrations until bike reaches 115 kmph speed.Some users are complaining about rear disc break,but i am sure that if we know the correct breaking position and maintenance of throttle and gear shifting while breaking,you will realise that xblade don't having rear disc break is not a big deal.Powerful led headlight was just awesome.I didn't felt the absence of kill switch as a major con.Pros:1)stunning looks 2)great comfort 3)best mileage 4)decent pickup 5)best commuter with killer looks.

    I recommend Shell fully synthetic 10w40 or motul fully synthetic 10w40 engine oil for best performance.while using these engine oils you can change oil after 5000 kilometres run.but don't go for honda throttle 10w30 engine oil.

  • Great Satisfaction

    25 weeks ago


    Cm Gobinda

    The most fascinating features are edge style/ergonomics and dual barrel awesome sound. Fuel efficiency around 45kmpl, comfortable riding posture, Engine Smoothness up to 100kmph, Top Speed achieved 124kmph. Odometer reading to date 84252km. Tyres(MRF Zapper Nylogrip S1), Stubborn Buid Quality, Wide visibility, and awesome through of Headlight. Low Maintenance Cost. Till now Clutch Plates, Front Shocker Oil, Timing Chain, Chain Sprocket, Throttle Cable, DIsc Break Oil, Tyres, and Air filter have changed. Minor Modifications - LED Indicators, Bar End Mirrors. The showroom experience is quite OK, the availability of parts is bothersome, and the Top speed and acceleration are slightly reduced. Timing Chain Noise is quite often. After all, I am very satisfied with this Honda Product till now. After free services were finished I had always preferred local but skilled mechanics. Honda has removed it from their website. I think they are shutting down its production. However, they had launched xBlade BSVI 2023. After that on the same platform as xBlade, they are now offering SP 160.

  • Good millage and pickup bike

    3 years ago


    Srinivasa Chakravarthi J

    I like its looks and beating of the engine I bought one month back now I ride 1650km millage is good in long ride it gives 70kmpl in local 58 to 62 kmpl engine noice good and pickup also. Breaking is perfect I selected rear drum its also good in 50 kmph, not necessary disk brake I use rear and front disk brake simultaneously in above 55kmph drawback is managed time starts with 2500rpm and it maintains 3min to down 1400rpm lot of fuel waste in that time its raises because bs6 complaint engine I expect its 15 sec is enough but the company gives programming for 2 to 3min so this drawback is in cold start condition.

    I am riding this bike on regular basis from last 1 year, almost completed around 9000 km. The look is aggressive and eye catching.This bike has the mileage of 55 to 60 km.Led light and robo design is also awesome. Servicing and maintenance is normal.I faced one issue that in some situation the gear shifting will not work properly neither down or to up. This is the issue which honda needs to look into it.

  • Family bike with sporty look

    5 years ago


    Srinivas Gudapati

    I bought honda x-blade bike in jsp kukatpally, hyderabad showroom on 8th june, 2018, 1. Buying experience: overall buying experience was good. No issues from showroom.2. Riding experience: till now i rode 450 kilo meters in hyderabad city. I covered all type of road and traffic situations. Observed that gears are not that much smooth while changing, some times getting stuck between 2 gears. And front suspensions are not that much smooth and not as expected, rear mono suspension is good. This bike is suitable for guys who's height is at least more than 5 feet 8 inch. 3. Details about looks and performance: look wise excellent, the caption "one look is enough" is perfectly apt for this bike. Performance like pickup is not as expected, it should be better as is 160 cc bike. Engine sound is very smooth while riding the bike. Very good balance when applying front disk brake. I am very very disappointed about the mileage, because it is giving exactly 30 kmpl which is not expected, i have checked the mileage thrice, i was expected more than 40 kmpl before purchasing the bike as it is 160 cc bike. I am expecting at least more than 40kmpl after my first service.4. Servicing and maintenance: till now i didn't get any issues, next week i am giving it for my 1st service.5. Pros and cons: pros: look and design, fully electronic dashboard, gear indicator etc. cons: mileage, pick up, gear shifting, no engine kill switch, no footrest for one side sitting ladies.

    It is very good in terms of riding posture & comfort. Engine is refined & silent, there is no vibration in the bike till the speed of 100 kmph. Maintenance is even negligible as compared to other bike of this segment, seat is quite broad & comfortable, led head lamp & tail lamp looks awesome & 4 indicator combine switching on is helpful.Only disadvantage i feel is about it's braking ( disc brakes are not good & even may cause the tyre to slip) it also varies bike to bike. So overall your best companion. I didn't pay any money on it after 4 months of buying..

  • Awesome bike in 160 cc segment.

    5 years ago


    Sivaji

    After raiding 12000 kilometres, i didn't find even a single con towards engine.After first servicing i am getting 68 kmpl mileage on highways and 60 kmpl in city roads.I didn't expect such mileage from a 160cc bike. Though i was riding at 90 kmph there were no vibrations at all.My blade reached the top speed of 120 kmph on national highway 16 and the amazing fact was x blade riders can ride for continues 40 kilometres at 110 kmph speed.I am damn sure about it.No heavy noise and vibrations until bike reaches 115 kmph speed.Some users are complaining about rear disc break,but i am sure that if we know the correct breaking position and maintenance of throttle and gear shifting while breaking,you will realise that xblade don't having rear disc break is not a big deal.Powerful led headlight was just awesome.I didn't felt the absence of kill switch as a major con.Pros:1)stunning looks 2)great comfort 3)best mileage 4)decent pickup 5)best commuter with killer looks.

    I recommend Shell fully synthetic 10w40 or motul fully synthetic 10w40 engine oil for best performance.while using these engine oils you can change oil after 5000 kilometres run.but don't go for honda throttle 10w30 engine oil.

  • Great Satisfaction

    25 weeks ago


    Cm Gobinda

    The most fascinating features are edge style/ergonomics and dual barrel awesome sound. Fuel efficiency around 45kmpl, comfortable riding posture, Engine Smoothness up to 100kmph, Top Speed achieved 124kmph. Odometer reading to date 84252km. Tyres(MRF Zapper Nylogrip S1), Stubborn Buid Quality, Wide visibility, and awesome through of Headlight. Low Maintenance Cost. Till now Clutch Plates, Front Shocker Oil, Timing Chain, Chain Sprocket, Throttle Cable, DIsc Break Oil, Tyres, and Air filter have changed. Minor Modifications - LED Indicators, Bar End Mirrors. The showroom experience is quite OK, the availability of parts is bothersome, and the Top speed and acceleration are slightly reduced. Timing Chain Noise is quite often. After all, I am very satisfied with this Honda Product till now. After free services were finished I had always preferred local but skilled mechanics. Honda has removed it from their website. I think they are shutting down its production. However, they had launched xBlade BSVI 2023. After that on the same platform as xBlade, they are now offering SP 160.

  • Good millage and pickup bike

    3 years ago


    Srinivasa Chakravarthi J

    I like its looks and beating of the engine I bought one month back now I ride 1650km millage is good in long ride it gives 70kmpl in local 58 to 62 kmpl engine noice good and pickup also. Breaking is perfect I selected rear drum its also good in 50 kmph, not necessary disk brake I use rear and front disk brake simultaneously in above 55kmph drawback is managed time starts with 2500rpm and it maintains 3min to down 1400rpm lot of fuel waste in that time its raises because bs6 complaint engine I expect its 15 sec is enough but the company gives programming for 2 to 3min so this drawback is in cold start condition.

    I am riding this bike on regular basis from last 1 year, almost completed around 9000 km. The look is aggressive and eye catching.This bike has the mileage of 55 to 60 km.Led light and robo design is also awesome. Servicing and maintenance is normal.I faced one issue that in some situation the gear shifting will not work properly neither down or to up. This is the issue which honda needs to look into it.
