I am confident that India will experience street riding like never before on our 4th brand new offering X-Blade with leading segment first features. 2018 will be an exciting year for the two-wheeler industry and Honda is all set to transform the way India rides in future.
Targeted towards the youth of the nation the new Honda X-Blade is a stylish bike featured with its cut through transformer-inspired futuristic LED headlight - a segment first feature and sporty dual outlet port silencer. The aggressive and futuristic design of the new Honda X-Blade is further accentuated by link type gear shifter, unique spilt grab rails, stylish alloy wheels, hugger fender and muscular graphics.
