Positioned in the sport category, this bike caters to both novice riders and seasoned enthusiasts looking for a reliable yet thrilling experience on two wheels. With its sleek design and striking color options, including Matte Marvel Blue and Pearl Amazing White, the CB Unicorn 160 stands out in the urban landscape, making it a popular choice across Asia. At the heart of the CB Unicorn 160 lies a robust 162.70 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a commendable 14.00 horsepower at 8000 RPM. This engine is finely tuned to produce 13.90 Nm of torque at 6000 RPM, allowing for quick acceleration and a top speed of 106 km/h (65.9 mph). Riders will appreciate the smooth power delivery, thanks to the bike's 5-speed gearbox and air-cooled system, which keeps the performance consistent even during long rides.

The CB Unicorn 160 is packed with features that enhance both comfort and safety. The diamond frame design offers stability, while the telescopic front fork and monoshock rear suspension ensure a smooth ride over various terrains. Braking is handled by a single disc in the front and an optional combined braking system (CBS) for the rear, providing reliable stopping power. Additionally, the bike is equipped with both electric and kick starters, ensuring that you're always ready to hit the road. With a fuel capacity of 12 liters (3.17 gallons), the Unicorn ensures you can travel longer distances without frequent stops at the pump. **
