Honda X Blade Review : Just another 160cc? : PowerDrift

[@powerdriftofficial]

Good morning #PDArmy! Hit that Like button if you think the XBlade has the best styling amongst its siblings! And if not, let us know below which of the 3 Honda 160cc motorcycles looks the best.

[@shashankrao6202]

PowerDrift very good morning ❤ PowerDrift

[@theishaan3]

Best looking so far is the X-Blade but the most efficient has to be the Unicorn 160.

[@Godara_YT]

PowerDrift Honda hornet is best looking bike in its segment.

[@nareshsindhwal314]

When are you giving BMW G 310R ride review. I have heard there are vibrations on 310R. And is it worth buying at 3.78L without slipper clutch. Waiting for your ride review

[@rkmr41]

2021 BS6 version of this bike has improved a lot - 50km/ltr mileage, improved stability and smoothness, rear disc brake option, etc.

[@akashmandal7516]

i have this robotic avatar...it is just amazing... mileage is 45-50, not 41...this bike is not made for racing...so if you are a city rider then no bike in the whole market is better than X BLADE...hats off

[@sunnysaffire]

Only reason the crowd is looking cause the rider is wearing full gear

[@RevItUpMumbai]

Honda is so stupid that they're offering CBS for Activa and not for the xblade 🤣

[@arjunmukherjee8302]

Dahi puri= unicorn Dahi sev puri= xblade Dahi sev batata puri= hornet

This video has the right balance between Varun's voice and the background score. Please keep this for all your upcoming videos.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Glad to hear that feedback, Swaraj!

[@kinshukgahlawat2650]

I will buy this bike on this Monday. I took its test drive I felt the power of the engine. Lovely and aggressive. Adorable bike. I enjoyed my driving.

[@boratmargaretsagdiyev6380]

Kinshuk Gahlawat bro is it good for touring

[@SatishKumarMovieCutScenes]

I have the same bike... Same colour... Its been a month I am riding this beast... Just an eye catching bike

[@SyedAli-mm3ny]

At Rs. 80k, Apache looks more appealing to me, at 85k you get Pulsar 180 but then these are Indian companies. Looks are a personal choice, I don't like it but many people I know love it. As for me, I'll try to find another option

[@signoutnow9914]

[@arpan1289]

Now a days very few videos are being published by #powerdrift .. missing that old powerdrift videos with lots of uniqueness and awesome content..

[@b-pinpandey8582]

not the xblade but the hornet in a 250cc avatar would look killer

[@adhunikmanav2638]

I rode my Honda Hornet from India all the way to and throughout Nepal. 2600 KMs in 12 days. Except getting stuck on a really steep incline and a deep water crossing the bike performed extremely well.

[@chan_kan_ride]

Honda's engines are reliable... But, they are getting clumsy with their product line up... I like the way they think of providing the same engine at different price range with little tweeks and tuning... Still expecting something exceptional from honda... 😊 . . . As always... Love you guys😍😍😍 Proud to be in #PDarmy

[@yogeshchugh1915]

Let me tell you a personal story. When RS200 was launched, I said to myself "good looking headlights", "swanky but stylish tail lights", but that's too much of style on the body. I wish Bajaj had given us the headlights, the taillights, but kept the body styling to a minimum. Now, XBlade is here. Good looking headlights, nice taillights, but the body is so boring that it makes those good parts stand out in a bad way. Or maybe I'm too confused myself!

[@gauthamkailash]

Hondas best bike till date remains the CB Unicorn 150. Everything after that is just random iterations of the same with no strategy or serious improvement.

[@shoaiball]

Varun is one the best host and powerdrift is the best automotive channel on KZbin 👍 great going guys.

[@vroombk]

[@MusicLover-wt3ju]

Always heads off honda no matter what u bring in the market ur alwaz the best.. Thankz to honda team and the engineers bringing such an exceptional products in the market to give the fresh feel to the roads specially the xblade. This is stylish commuter sporty bulky and the last thing its tremondous.. The best good looking bike in the segment yet..

[@dhirensatapathy20]

you forced me to put this comment :( I have been following this channel since 4years. your video contents were so good ! But from the last two to three months you were just making videos to keep this channel alive . That's what i think and it may be the truth. The reason behind this is so far you guys were totally dependent on Sagar(2 wheeler) ang Glen ( 4 wheeler) for the review part and now you are facing the consequence as one of them just left out !!! please take some serious step as soon as possible .. please...

[@somu8870]

If HONDA launces their cb250r here in india then it will surely make a serious appeal against the fz25 and the orange beast duke250...

[@meeraj1961]

Hi I have this robot. X blade. It's amazing. Speed and smooth very comfortable. Top speed till touched 130. And mileage city 55 and highway 58. Nothing to say. It's good looking and while am driving people's are look at me. Superb

[@uttkarshmishra4944]

How you touched 130 with 13.9 bhp bro? I am thinking of buying this bike ....

[@meeraj1961]

Not fake. First time 100 and second time 120 third time 130.just a single time. After I never try that speed. Now only ride below 100.

[@jeetmishra7905]

It's good... Actually no 160 cc bike can beat or cmpt it... Top speed is almost 130. Cmfrt wise it's good. Mileage is awsm and looks is damn good.

[@bpk4601]

Fake, i own 2018 hornet, it feels stressed above 110 kmph

[@rahulbhutani1981]

Old Apache 160 still makes more sense to me. But if I had to a Honda 160 it will be Hornet fo sure!The rear meaty tyre steals the show entirely and this X-Blade is overdesigned!

[@ashishpawar177]

Looks is probably the only department where it excels...250cc might take the fight to a different if priced well..this one has lots of competition which do better than this... especially gixer and apache ( best one on my opinion) Great video guyz..keep this awesome job up!❤️

[@kavinsp]

How did the R15 V3 managed to get more fuel efficiency than the xblade😅

[@chandansoren8002]

Mile hunter 93 bcz of vva bro

[@chandansoren8002]

It's a simple thing which helps an engine to get more power when you need it and mileage also

[@Prabird193]

Background music is just amazing! 250cc is sweet spot for my requirements. Honda plz launch new good looking 250cc bike.

[@RoadsUnraveled]

Xblade with a 300cc rather than 250cc liquid cooled engine with maybe 15ltr tank capacity along with switchable abs with slipper clutch even though the normal clutch of honda is way smoother than any other brands in the market and preload adjustable suspension upside down forks along with tft screen. Yes give it a price tag of 2. 5lk approx and surely everyone will go for it. Honda has to bring up something to get into the game. The xblade happens to be an good intro. Lets hope Honda India's R&D are planning something big for 2019.

[@roshanthomas9805]

Honda is seriously running out of ideas. The only 'new' thing they do is led headlights and tail lights.

[@thealch3myst]

Honda with a great engine and half-ass efforts. If they only had a few creative passionate bikers in their team then they could very well build top selling, best looking, reliable bikes on budget

[@arojeim6200]

vagabond Honda have only lazy to drive engineers that's y they manufacturer Activa 2-5g , they are much faster than mobile networks in developing GS

[@mubeenm7267]

Bro ith8nk honda should make an upgrade in unicorn 150 with 6 speed gearbox and digital speedometer

[@nishalxo]

3:35, that look!😍

[@sunittiwari6047]

Honda products quality substantially went down in my opinion. They might be providing robust, reliable and fuel efficient engines but apart from engine the hardware quality sucks. Which adversely effects your riding pleasure be it brakes, switchgears, suspensions & chasis. The products are not confidence inspiring. These are mostly compromised commuter oriented vehicles instead of performance oriented. Honda is still following Hero's philosophy in India. They seems to grow in volume only, riders satisfaction is not their first priority.

[@TheCricketBaba]

Sunit Tiwari True! One of my acquaintances have got severe back-ache by riding the CB Shine SP for just over 2 years. Only the CB Unicorn & CB Shine DX are truly legendary bikes from Honda's stable... flawless, and relaible!

[@virajvichare5549]

Awsome bike i m riding this bike more than a manth in terms of milage it give me 50 kmpl and more and very harsh driveing give 46 to 47 in mumbai trafic and in terms of look its ultimate no doubt.😘

[@nah0725]

Hornet 160 still relivent I guess ,using it for past 2 years ,low end torque not that good but I mostly ride my bike on the highway and it can go 115kmph easily and once you change your tyre you can do a bit of cornering as well ,and breaks are awesome too ,the only problem was the headlight which can be changed because the stock one is useless.

[@BikerPrakashChoudhary]

Omg...i also uploaded mileage test video...and belive me it gave me exactly 41kmpl....awesome review Team

[@nyctophilecat]

[@vineetpalkar6041]

I personally didn't like the Honda's desperate attempt to get into the 150-160cc segment. But great video guys! And i recognized almost every road in the video you drove in Pune! ;)

[@AnujKumar-yv1tp]

Honda never do that...it is like..asking Abhishek bachan to do Iron Man 😂😂😂 He knows..he can't.

[@inamatd]

I had a hornet and got a mileage of 35. I sold it and bought a ct100es and now I get a mileage of 80 kmpl per litre and I must say I save around 3.5k every month travelling same distance every day. Think before you buy.

[@aishadeeptamohapatra9088]

Hello there!!.. I own a Hornet 160r... It's the first gen model... I do get 48kmpl... N I mostly ride on highways at a speed of 65-75.. Sometimes 42kmpl n other time 48kmpl depending upon the traffic... N I do maintenance properly... So u must not have properly maintained ur bike.. That might be the issue with u...

Almost 10k difference and you will get a xtreme 200r with 200cc 18ps,17nm torque, Dual side disc brakes with front side ABS ,wider front tyre,wider 37mm front telescopic suspension and almost similar millage figures.

[@cagednm69]

[@Ashish00770]

If you are daily commuter only for office like me who travels around 25-30km one side then I still believe Honda Unicorn is best due to easy adjustable with traffic conditions and with great reliability and fuel consumption.

[@theurbanbundelkhandi7460]

Ashish Pawar Nope it should be UG5.

[@Ashish00770]

Sachin's tech I'd say that you might be right but it's my opinion only in terms of Honda Comparo.... Because Unicorn still has great fuel economy which goes 50kmpl+ ... Which I believe still is good economy.

[@anandnairkollam]

A 160cc giving 41kmpl is a joke. My 220 gives 45 to 50 kmpl

[@aishadeeptamohapatra9088]

It isn't a joke sir... The bike must be new so it delivers just 41kmpl... Otherwise it would have given atleast 46+kmpl... I own a Hornet 160r first gen model... It gives me 48kmpl... N I ride mostly on highways at an average speed of 65-75kmph.... N as u said u r getting 45-50kmpl then u might be riding it a bit sensibly n ur speed limit would be 50-60...

Hello PDARMY. Well, honestly the same machine in 250cc Avatar would kill out the competition to a certain level and yes it will be a hit. But to everyone's obvious nod, there is a big concern- WHY ISN'T HONDA OFFERING ANYTHING BETWEEN 160CC & 250CC??

[@alexmercer3001]

As long as Indians buy rebadged and re-painted bikes, Honda will never care to launch their CBR 250RR & CBR 150RR. I don't see any future for honda as with their current roadmap.

[@PavanMS87]

41kmpl is way less for the power it is delivering. The r15v3 returns a better mielege. Honda should stop feeding shitty bikes to us . Hornet is already a good and xblade is just wasted effort imho.
