Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has introduced the Honda NX200, a motorcycle designed for both urban commutes and occasional adventure riding. Previously available in the country as the CB200X, the NX200 is priced in India at Rs. 1,68,499 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The NX200 comes with several notable features. Here are five key features listed below: 

1 Design

The NX200 takes cues from Honda’s adventure motorcycles, featuring a rugged yet modern design. It includes a muscular fuel tank, bold graphics, and an angular stance. The all-LED headlamp, LED indicators, and X-shaped LED tail lamp contribute to visibility and aesthetics. The upright riding position and well-cushioned seat aim to enhance rider comfort on longer journeys.

2 Engine and performance

The NX200 is powered by an OBD2B-compliant 184.4cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine, producing 12.5 kW of power at 8500 RPM and 15.7 Nm of torque at 6000 RPM. It comes with a 5-speed gearbox, aiming to balance efficiency and performance for both city rides and highway cruising. The engine is air-cooled and designed for fuel efficiency, making it suitable for daily commutes as well as occasional long-distance rides.

3 Digital cluster and connectivity

The motorcycle features a 4.2-inch full-digital TFT display with Bluetooth compatibility and Honda RoadSync app support. This allows riders to access navigation, receive call notifications, and check SMS alerts. A USB C-type charging port is also included for convenience. The display offers clear visibility under various lighting conditions helping riders stay informed on the go.

4 Safety

The NX200 is equipped with Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) for optimizing rear-wheel traction, especially useful on slippery surfaces. It also includes an Assist & Slipper Clutch for smoother gear shifts and reduced rear-wheel locking during downshifts, enhancing stability. Dual-channel ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is provided for improved braking performance, reducing the chances of skidding. The suspension setup includes telescopic front forks and a mono-shock at the rear ensuring a balanced ride across different terrains.
