2018 Honda CB Hornet 160R – Design
The bike looks very muscular and bulky. Might look like a rough rugged bike too. Hornet carries the popular muscular looks despite weighing lower than Apache. It gets a diamond type frame with the engine as a stressed member. It feels very nimble to maneuver and changes direction easily without requiring much effort but the TVS is noticeably sportier. However, reports say that the riding experience was not that good. In the front, it gets its LED headlamps with LED DRLs in the cowl, which houses the digital speedometer too. Over the body, it gets a lot of graphics and decals. The exhaust looks good, much copied from the other Honda bikes. Overall, it surely looks sporty but feels a little heavy too.

2018 Honda CB Hornet 160R – Competition
The 2018 CB Hornet will compete against the likes of Suzuki Gixxer, Bajaj Pulsar 160 NS, and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. All of them fall in the same price range with similar features.
Apache is a tough competitor because of its good features list and decent styling. Also, the top-end variant of Hornet is the highest priced amongst its competitors. It fairs well against the other bikes, but it offers ABS, which only Gixxer offers it. Here, the brand image of Honda also plays a big role.
