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.
