The Hornet 2.0 will be fitted with 'Extramaxx' tyres – 110/70-17 M6233 (front) and 140/70-17 M6234 (rear). As per Maxxis, these tyres are amongst the best in the industry and are known to help deliver a smooth and jerk free ride, even on uneven roads.

These tyres have been developed with the use of aramid fibre. For the record, the same fibre is also used for making bulletproof vests, leading to better control and minimizing the chances of punctures.

The new Hornet mixes design cues sourced from the previous CB Hornet 160R and the CB190R bikes. It is an amalgamation of the exterior styling of both the bikes.
