Honda CB Twister – Details, Price, Strategy and impression

Honda_CB_Twister_CBR_100Honda CB Twister takes commuter bikes to new level laden with features and styled like CB1000R

With 9 bhp of power and a claimed mileage of 70kmpl, Honda’s new CB Twister promises to shake up the 100-125cc segment. The lion’s share of the 100cc market belongs to Hero Honda, and their bikes also boast of such credentials. The path Honda took with this motorcycle is entirely different to one adopted by its Indian partner.

The CB Twister looks everything but a Hero Honda Splendor or Passion. Many of us yesterday expected to see a plain and boring commuter with puny tires and no personality.

By making the move of introducing a lower capacity motorcycle, Honda expects to see a change in customer perception and expand this section of the market.

As the name denotes, the 110cc CB Twister is inspired by bigger the CB1000R. The core USP of this motorcycle is its style, but there are plenty of other reasons why customers would buy this product.

You get features which aren’t seen on this side of town. Tubeless tyres, maintenance free battery and viscous air filter improve performance and reduce maintenance cost. Other features like short muffler and half chain are attributes that define how stylish this motorcycle is.

Honda to launch 110cc motorcycle on Thursday

The CB Twister debuts in Delhi day after tomorrow

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India will launch a stylish 110cc motorcycle in India day after tomorrow in Delhi. The company has been working on this motorcycle for more than a year now and could christen it CB Twister.

What Honda isn’t planning to do with its latest motorcycle is compete directly with India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer – Hero Honda.

Honda is going to pitch its entry-level bike to youngsters. The Hero Honda counterpart Splendor is targeted at the middle class family man. Honda will also price the motorcycle roughly 10% higher than the Splendor which should draw a clear line between the two commuters.

Shinji Aoyama, president and CEO, HMSI -

We don’t expect competition with Hero Honda as a joint venture brand. I am not in a position to compete. Our position of new model introduction is to expand the market itself. I believe we can activate demand from youngsters with this 110cc motorcycle.

Honda entry point in India is the 125cc Shine, which looks plain jane. It shares its space with the stylish CBF Stunner which is aimed at the youngster looking for an element of style in that segment. Would Honda follow the same strategy with the 110cc motorcycle, only this time the stylish variant comes first?
