Honda X-Blade BS6 Engine

The major change in this Honda X-Blade BS6 is with the engine. It is a 160cc engine with Honda Eco tech. The engine does not rev that high and delivers a power of 13.86 bhp that is not that impressive. Als the 5-speed gearbox does give good efficiency but it clearly lacks the performance that is expected from the bike. Let’s hope that Honda has made the bike at least sound better with the BS6 update.
Fi system on this bike gets 8 sensors which prioritise the efficiency over performance. But this results in a consistently performing bike with efficient fuel consumption. The bike competes with a lot of 155 to 160cc bikes in the market. These bikes do have better power but they also come at a better price. This really raises a question about the value for money quotients of the bike.
