ET ZigWheels Best Premium 100cc Motorcycle - Honda CB Twister 110
Never before has the Indian commuter seen something so fashionable and funky as the Honda CB Twister in this class. An opportunity rightly spotted and superbly capitalised by Honda, it brought the upmarket feel of a high-end motorcycle within the bounds of consumers looking for a stylish product in the 100-110cc category of motorcycles. Usually known for charging a premium on its motorcycles, this time though Honda priced the CB Twister 110 extremely competitively at just Rs. 42,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
The CB Twister’s youthful charm coupled with its sporty demeanor added that much-needed spunk in this class bringing to the fore the fact that masses are now welcoming sporty products with aggressive styling even in the 100-110cc class of motorcycles. The trends are changing and the CB Twister does a fantastic job at mixing work and pleasure without having to empty one’s wallet. The fit-and-finish as well as the overall built quality on the Twister is truly world class level and one can clearly see that Honda has cut no corners here even though the pricing is kept competitive. Out of the three launches in the 100cc class this year – the Honda CB Twister, the Yamaha YBR110 and the latest entrant, Mahindra Stallio, the Honda trumped its two rivals on the basis of price-point, aesthetics, comfort, refinement and its lively handling.
The Yamaha YBR 110 came close to the Honda CB Twister on a few accounts like comfort, mileage and refinement, but lost out in the pricing as well as the looks department. The Stallio appealed as a good first effort from Mahindra but running parallelly along side the Twister and the YBR, it certainly lacked the upmarket appeal or the energetic and liveliness of the other two and not to forget, it is also was the most expensive of the three.
