Overview

Introducing the 2000 Hero Honda CBZ, a motorcycle that set a benchmark in the sport touring segment of the Indian market. Launched as a symbol of reliability and performance, the CBZ quickly became a favorite among enthusiasts looking for a blend of speed, comfort, and efficiency. Known for its aggressive styling and robust build, the CBZ was designed to cater to both daily commuters and weekend riders alike, making it a versatile choice for those who seek adventure without compromising on practicality. At the heart of the CBZ lies a spirited 156.80 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a commendable 17.16 HP and a torque of 12.50 Nm. The power is channeled through a smooth 5-speed gearbox that ensures a thrilling ride, allowing the bike to reach a top speed of 125 km/h (77.7 mph). The air-cooled engine, equipped with a Keihin 22mm slide-type carburettor and digital ignition, offers a responsive throttle that makes overtaking a breeze. With fuel consumption rated at an impressive 2.00 litres per 100 km, or 50 km/l, the CBZ is also a champion in fuel efficiency, making it the ideal companion for long rides. The CBZ boasts a well-engineered chassis that promises stability and comfort on various terrains. Its single chassis frame supports a telescopic hydraulic front fork and a swingarm with a hydraulic damper that features a 5-step adjustment, ensuring a smooth ride even on bumpy roads. The single disc brake at the front provides reliable stopping power, allowing riders to confidently navigate through city traffic or open highways. With a weight of just 135 kg, the CBZ exhibits remarkable agility, while the 13-litre fuel tank ensures you can go the distance without frequent stops. **

  • Sporty Performance: The combination of a responsive engine and a lightweight frame delivers an exhilarating riding experience.
  • Comfortable Handling: The adjustable rear suspension and telescopic front fork provide a smooth ride, making it suitable for both city commuting and long-distance touring.
