Design
Honda may have made the strategic choice to retain the Unicorn's familiarity and appeal among its devoted customer base by sticking with its current appearance. The Unicorn BS6 delivers notable engine and performance enhancements despite the lack of exterior changes. Unicorn's timeless and enduring appeal could be its unaltered appearance. The Unicorn has been a well-liked option for riders in India for twenty years, despite its age, because of its dependability, comfort, and usefulness.
Specifications
Engine and gearbox
The larger 163-cc engine on the new motorcycle is the main modification. The air-cooled, fuel-injected engine generates 14.92 Nm of torque and 12.92 PS. While the torque has increased by 1.2 Nm, the power output remains the same as the Unicorn 150. It is still using a five-speed gearbox.
Features
With the exception of an engine stop switch, the characteristics are much the same as the design. Unicorn lacks features like an ACG starter and LED headlights, like the Honda Shine has. Alongside the assortment of digital consoles, the three-pod traditional instrument cluster has also been retained, though it is rather antiquated. ABS with a single channel is present.
Suspension and Brakes
The Honda Unicorn's mechanical configuration is derived from the Unicorn 150. Its suspension consists of a monoshock and a basic telescopic fork. There is just one version of the Unicorn BS6, and it has 240mm front disc and 130mm rear drum brakes. ABS with one channel is the norm.
