India’s motorcycle enthusiasts have a new ride to be excited about with the launch of the Honda NX200. Unveiled by Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI), this latest model comes at an ex-showroom price of Rs 1,68,499 in Delhi. Aiming to capture the adventure biking spirit in urban landscapes, the NX200 steps into the shoes of its predecessor, the CB200X, offering enhanced features and a fresh appeal.
Unpacking the 2025 Honda NX200
The 2025 Honda NX200 is more than just an upgrade; it's a reimagination of entry-level adventure biking. At the heart of its design is a robust OBD-2B compliant 184.4cc air-cooled engine, delivering a power-packed performance with 17PS at 8,500 RPM and 15.7Nm of torque at 6,000 RPM. Engineers paired this engine with a smooth 5-speed transmission, optimized with a slip-assist clutch, ensuring a seamless ride.
Visually, the bike carries a rugged adventure-themed design featuring a muscular fuel tank, complementing its bold stance. With options in Athletic Blue Metallic, Radiant Red Metallic, and Pearl Igneous Black, riders can choose an aesthetic that matches their style. Additionally, it boasts a TFT instrument cluster, a 4.2-inch display equipped with Bluetooth connectivity through the Honda RoadSync app, allowing riders to access navigation, call, and SMS alerts effortlessly. Plus, the inclusion of a USB Type-C charging port is a nod to modern convenience.
Riding and Safety Features
Safety takes center stage with dual-channel ABS, providing reliable braking with 276mm discs in the front and 220mm at the rear. The Honda Selectable Torque Control enhances traction, paired with a slipper clutch for added safety during sudden deceleration. Its suspension system features preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear and golden inverted forks up front, designed to tackle varying terrains.
For practicality, the NX200 brings a mix of function and comfort with a 12-liter fuel tank, an accessible 810mm seat height, and ground clearance of 167mm. It's the ideal companion for those transiting the urban jungle or embarking on light off-road explorations.
Competing against familiar names like the Hero XPulse 200 4V, XPulse 210, and the soon-to-be-released Yamaha Lander 250, the NX200 stands out with its advanced tech and attractive pricing. Both Honda's Managing Director, Tsutsumu Otani, and Sales Director, Yogesh Mathur, emphasised its role in expanding the adventure biking niche, striking a balance between performance, safety, and style.
Available exclusively through the premium BigWing and Red Wing dealerships, the 2025 Honda NX200 is set to capture the imagination of riders who crave adventure without straying far from city limits. With its compelling blend of innovation, design, and practicality, it's a motorcycle poised to carve a niche among India’s two-wheeler aficionados.
