Honda CB Trigger unveiled

The new CB Trigger is about to become the third 150 cc motorcycle in Honda’s Indian line-up. Aimed at younger riders, it has been designed as a stylish bike for leisure and commuting use.

Power comes from a four-stroke, carburettor-fed, air-cooled engine that’s connected to a five-speed gearbox. With 13.8 bhp (10.3 kW / 14.0 PS) and 12.5 Nm (9.2 lb/ft) of peak torque, Honda is claiming strong performance throughout the rev range plus fuel economy of up to 169.4 mpg (1.7 l/100km / 60.0 km/l).

The specification includes alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, monoshock rear suspension, a fully digital instrument panel, an LED rear light and both electric- and kick-starters.

Three versions are going to be available, but they’re only differentiated by their braking systems. The standard model has a disc brake on the front wheel and a drum on the rear, while the Deluxe has discs front and rear.

The range-topping CBS adds Honda’s Combi Brake System. A first for this market segment, the combined set-up allows the rider to operate both brakes using the foot pedal only. The result is improved deceleration and shorter stopping distances.

Orders for the CB Trigger are being accepted from next month, and buyers will have a choice of Black, Meteor Green Metallic or Pearl Siena Red paint finishes. The first deliveries are then expected to follow in May.

Prices have yet to be announced.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
