Overview

Introducing the 2011 Honda CB Twister, a nimble and spirited naked bike that redefines urban commuting with its stylish design and lightweight build. Designed specifically for the Indian market, the CB Twister offers an exhilarating riding experience without compromising on practicality. As a part of Honda's renowned lineup, it caters to riders seeking a perfect blend of efficiency, reliability, and fun, making it an ideal choice for both novice and seasoned motorcyclists alike. At the heart of the CB Twister lies a compact 109cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a peppy 9 horsepower at 8,000 RPM. With torque peaking at 9 Nm at 6,000 RPM, riders can expect commendable acceleration and responsiveness, making it perfect for navigating through bustling city streets. The air-cooled engine, paired with a 4-speed gearbox, ensures seamless power delivery while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency—an astonishing 64.9 km/l or 152.74 mpg. This remarkable mileage not only keeps your wallet happy but also allows for extended rides without frequent refueling stops, enhancing the overall riding experience. The CB Twister is equipped with a sturdy diamond twin-pipe frame, ensuring stability and confidence in handling. The telescopic hydraulic front fork and spring-loaded hydraulic shock absorber at the rear offer a smooth ride, absorbing bumps and road imperfections with ease. Safety is also a priority, with a single disc brake in the front and a reliable drum brake at the rear, providing adequate stopping power for urban settings. Riders can choose from a vibrant palette of colors, including black, red, blue, green, and yellow, allowing for personal expression while on the road. **

Pros

  • Impressive Fuel Efficiency: With a consumption rate of 1.54 litres/100 km, the CB Twister is an economical choice for daily commuting.
  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing just 108 kg, it offers great maneuverability, making it easy to navigate through traffic.
  • Dual Start Options: The convenience of both electric and kick start ensures reliability, even in different riding conditions.

Cons

  • Limited Power Output: At 9 HP, it may not satisfy riders looking for higher performance and speed.
