Honda says that the Hornet 2.0 is developed with 6 new patent applications and is equipped with Dual, Petal Disc Brakes with single-channel ABS. Honda says that the mono-shock suspension at the rear gives an excellent riding experience while cornering and provides supreme stability.
The bike also comes with “Golden” Upside Down (USD) front fork - a first in sub 200cc segment.
