I still remember the first time I saw the Hornet 2.0 parked under streetlights. Its sharp stance and golden USD forks gave it an edge that made you look twice. But this? The Honda Hornet 2.0 2025? This feels like a proper leap into the future, not just a cosmetic refresh.
From the moment you thumb the starter, there’s a sense of precision. It’s still got that 184.4cc single-cylinder engine we know, but now it’s OBD2B compliant, smoother, cleaner, and just as eager. The 16.7 PS of power and 15.7 Nm of torque don’t scream on paper, but the delivery is refined and responsive. Paired with the assist and slipper clutch, every gear change feels more intuitive.
What really caught my eye is the 4.2-inch full-color TFT console. It’s not just about looking premium, it actually makes your ride smarter. Bluetooth pairing via Honda RoadSync brings turn-by-turn navigation, SMS alerts, and call notifications right to the screen.
And yes, traction control. It’s here. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) is a huge plus for newer riders or anyone who’s tackled slick roads during monsoon.

Add to that new sporty graphics, LED lighting, USB Type-C charger, and four color options. At ₹1.56 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), it’s priced a bit higher than before, but you feel where that money’s going. Honda’s clearly aiming to make the Honda Hornet 2.0 2025 more than just another 180cc bike.
