The new CB125 Hornet brings proper street-naked attitude to the 125cc class, sporting sharp tank extensions, a bold front fascia, sporty muffler, and eye-popping dual-tone paint schemes.
All About the LEDs
Lighting is all-LED—twin LED headlamps, LED DRLs, high-mounted LED indicators, and a snazzy LED tail lamp. Day or night, it stands out.
Stands Tall with Segment-First Golden USD (Upside Down) Forks
It’s the only 125cc bike in India with big, golden upside-down front forks, paired with a five-step adjustable rear monoshock. Expect better handling and serious visual flair.
The Power Inside
Packing a 123.94cc, OBD2B-compliant, fuel-injected engine based on the trusted Shine series, the Hornet hits 11.14PS and 11.2Nm—pretty much segment-leading torque. Expect peppy city performance and smooth power all the way to 7,500rpm.
Quickest in the Class (0-60km/h in 5.4 Seconds)
Honda claims it’s the fastest-accelerating 125cc bike in India, doing 0–60km/h in just 5.4 seconds—perfect for urban dashes.
4.2-Inch Color TFT Display With Bluetooth Goodies
You get a flashy TFT dash that does it all: Bluetooth, navigation, music control, SMS/call alerts, even weather updates—all through the Honda RoadSync app.
Loaded With Convenience
The Hornet doesn’t skip practicalities: it comes with a handlebar engine kill switch, universal USB Type-C charger, side-stand engine cut-off, and a split seat for added pillion comfort.
Safety First: Single-Channel ABS
A 240mm petal disc up front, 130mm rear drum, and single-channel ABS as standard means you can push hard and stop safe.
Light and Nimble
Weighing just 124kg and equipped with wide tubeless tyres (80/100-17 front, 110/80-17 rear), the Hornet is easy to flick through traffic and friendly for new riders.
Launch, Colours & The Waiting Game
Bookings open August 1, 2025, with the launch soon after and deliveries expected by September. Four vibrant dual-tone colours—Pearl Siren Blue/Lemon Ice Yellow, Igneous Black, Siren Blue/Athletic Blue Metallic, Siren Blue/Sports Red—turn heads wherever you go.
Bonus: Hit List of Rivals
The CB125 Hornet squares up against the Hero Xtreme 125R, TVS Raider 125, Bajaj Pulsar NS125, and Hero Glamour XTEC. Still, nothing at this price brings together so much tech, style, and Honda’s signature engine reliability.
