In terms of visuals, Honda has expanded the CBR150R's colour palette with the addition of Dominator Matte Black, Matte Black and Victory Black Red paint options, while retaining its Racing Red and MotoGP Edition paint schemes. The company has also increased the bike's windscreen height to offer better protection against windblasts.
The overall design of the Honda CBR150R is still the same. Thus, you would find a twin-pod LED headlight assembly at the front, LED indicators and taillight, muscular bodywork and a split-style saddle. The dual-tone finish to the exhaust canister also has been retained.
Hardware specifications include telescopic forks at the front and a mono-shock at the back, both featuring five-step adjustability. Braking department comprises wave-style rotors along with the safety net of dual-channel ABS. An Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) is also part of the package. The ESS system automatically activates the Hazard lights when braking suddenly. A full digital display is also part of the package.
Engine details include a 149.16 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-valve, DOHC motor that is linked to a six-speed transmission and tuned to deliver 17.1 PS of max power at 9,000 rpm and a peak torque of 14.4 Nm at 7,000 rpm. The motorcycle, currently in Euro-III form, is claimed to return a fuel economy of 39.72 km/l.
The optional accessories for the motorcycle include rear seat cowl, tank pad, radiator guard, fuel lid sticker, engine protector, rear fender eliminator, rim tapes and under-cowl.
