A few weeks back I posted a review of the New CBZ Xtreme with ATFT engine. The pictures that I posted in that review were of the orange coloured CBZ which looked really weird. The black with red colour combo looks smart and if you haven’t had a chance to see them, here they are. Photos courtesy of Koustubh Kkulkarni.

Wow
Atlast som1 appreciated the new CBZ-X. Back in Nov’08 when I went to HH showroom to have a look at Hunk and was considering buying the bike, CBZ-X was being rolled into the showroom. I just fell for the black-red bike with rear wheel in red and bought it in the following week.
Trust me guyzz for a week or more from the day I bought the bike every time I stopped at signals every1 around just looked at admiration to my new bike.
Every1 here are more updated regarding the bike specs than me and i don’t wanna enter into any chit chats regarding that but but of the CBZ released till date dis 1 is the hottest of them all.
P.S. I meant mine bike, with red alloy rear wheel

I still feel think the bike looks kinda wacky. Could be better if Hero Honda gave it a more sleeker colour other than bright red.

I have took my pal’s CBZ ATFT for about 40 kms ride in B’lore city as my bike (Fiero) was given for service. This bike is really stunning in all aspects, I could not find out a single drawback, even stying is excellent, really looks good in flesh. In most situations in city drive one could lock 3rd gear for 90% of the ride as one can do 20 to 60 kmph in this gear and feels smooth. Power delivery is simply amazing. My pal recently completed 1200kms tour of south India after 2nd free service and he enjoyed every moment of th trip.

I think CBZ ATFT is good interms of performance.But HHML should use the colour combination with some thought.
Murugan on April 8, 2009 at 10:44 pm
CBZ Xtreme has styling issues,
1. Muffler should have been covered with chrome cylinder.
2. Muffler is very lengthy
3. Color combination sucks
4. Front fairing coud have been bigger by 20%.
Otherwise the bike is very good and gives lot of confidence with exellent road manners. It’s fast too and can sprint like devil in city traffic.

Hello all,
I have a bike (Ambition old model). I bought it in July 2003.
Now a black smoke is coming out from my silencer pipe. So my garage owner told me to have to work in engine.
But I traveled only 26,000 KM in 5 years and I handle it own.
Any way I am thinking to shift from ambition to any good bikes.
My choice is Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme or Hunk (both are Black and red combination).
But anyone guide me which is better between these two?
Thanks,
Ujjwal

Hi Guys
I want to know How much CBZ Xtreme cost and about its mileage too…..
I am planning to buy Bike next month Can any advise me on that any new arrivals will be there from HH So that I can wait….
Bikes which I sort out are
1.Unicorn
2.CBX Xtreme
Which one to select?????
Rahul@durgapur on April 20, 2009 at 3:01 am
@Ujjwal Das
The only difference between Hunk and CBZ X is the looks.
Buy the one that looks better
acording to u. They both have
same engine. Comfort is also
more or less SAME.
Mani on April 29, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Go for Hunk as it’s 2,000 bucks cheaper and it’s lot stylish than Xtreme. Xtreme is also an excellent m/c, that xtra 2,000 is worth paying.
sakthi on May 13, 2009 at 9:18 pm
will anyone will tell me the mileage of CBZ Xtreme ATFL in Black & red
Bharadwaj on May 24, 2009 at 12:59 am
hey anyone out there please tell me are there any rev limiters installed in extreme or hunk?
i have driven both these bikes to max limit but they never reach the redline 9000rpm but maintain constant speed after 8500 rpm. i wonder how some people cross the redline on their bikes?
Chandu on June 2, 2009 at 7:41 am

Saju Varghese on June 8, 2009 at 12:02 pm
When I was planning to buy a new bike by replacing my HH Splendor, I visited the showrooms of Hero Honda, Honda Unicorn, Bajaj Pulsar, Suzuki, Yamaha for 150 CC bike. According to me, HH CBZ Extreme is one of the best choice out of the above mentioned all makes. I am decided to purchase CBZ within a week.
Shubh on June 10, 2009 at 4:04 pm
Mileage of CBZ X is around 38-45 KMPL. The higher end is achived when the bike is driven within 60KMPH. Frequent driving at 80+KMPH will yeild at the lower end.
Top speed is around 115-117, am not sure bcoz I was enjoying the moment at AJC Bose Rd. flyover, d best place to test top speed of any bike in Kolkata.
Irusath on June 13, 2009 at 3:04 pm
My Self i like CBZ X treme, only one confution why not gas resovoyer suspension for the rear sock absober for CBZ xtreme.
hussain on June 19, 2009 at 6:33 pm
hey i have new cbz xtreme the top speed i have riden is 120 but my frnd hits on the same bike up to 140 speed it is quit good in performance but it dosen’t hae a spoorty look as like karizma, cbf stunner fi,rtr,yamaha etc. so pls hh try to take out the cbz in total sports look with big doom and engine cover bcoz the cbz name itself is very famous to the students the name cbz is enough to college students.so pls hhonda don,t try on karisma for sports lok pls try it on only cbz.bcoz no one and no bike can hit the name cbz so pls h honda try to understand our prblm we need more models in cbz only not in karisma bcoz it is a very foolish byk as compared to cbz.
James V.J on July 2, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Hello Hero honda one thing I should want to ask you why should n’t they didn’t Make the colour of silver tail in Black CBZ extreme like a red cbz extreme… I think so, It will be a good look silver tail in black cbz.. So please kindly intro the silver tail in black CBZ Extreme..
Shubh on July 6, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Hey James…
I think the CBZ 2008 versions were all in silver tail….Itz individual pref, but I personally like this red & black combination…this looks very hot indeed.
TO all (Spec. HH):
In my opinion, the areas that need immediate attention…
1. **Gas rear shockers should be added immediately.**
2. Muzzle should be shotter & trendy (say like FZ series)
3. Should yeild better mileage or engine power should be
increased(reverted back to 158cc as was in introductory
version).Bcoz a 149cc bike yeilding mileage of max 40-45,
that too if driven with utter caution can not survive just
in the brand name in a cost concious country like ourzz.
4. Display should have the mixture of digital & analog
combination.
In regards to addition of body parts for sporty looks like karizma/stunner, I prefer CBZ as it is bcoz it has decent looks that can make rider proud anywhere. Making too much sporty is ok with teenz/clg goers but CBZ might lose out with itz midage & corporate buyers as they donot prefer too sporty bikes.
P.S…All body parts upgradation could be added to good 4 nothing HH Achiver–so that it can achive a decent sale figure in the bikes market
jeevan on July 12, 2009 at 10:55 am

Ajay on October 9, 2009 at 10:53 pm
Hi,
I am proud to be owner of the Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme.
I feel CBZ is the best bike in the range of 150 cc bikes,
Everyone compares this with Apache,Pulsar,Yahama FZ.
I had driven Apache,Pulsar,not tried Yahama FZ.
Best thing I like about CBZ
1.The body which is stylish and seating is comfortable when compared to Apache.
2.It gives me around 52 to 54 in city, 55 in long ride.
3.Maintanance is too low then Pulsar.
4.Speed it touches 115 km/hr.
5.You have better resale to this one when compared to any other bike.
No doubt Hero Honda bike is Desh Khi Dhadkan………
Harish on October 10, 2009 at 12:52 am
Hi dudes,
I’m one of the proud owners of this legendary twin The CBZ X-Treme 2008 model. I find this bike a fantastic tourer especially for long journeys. I have traveled to my nearby hill station ooty thrice on my bike.
Its a manly creature. It never let me feel tired or so.
The only alteration I have made on my bike is change of its handlebar. I have replaced it with the one which is found on the legendary CBZ old model.
The fact behind that is, it has a handlebar weight which reduces vibrations transferring to the hand at higher revs. And also it helps in more upright as well as sportier riding stance.
I have clocked my bike till 120 Kmph. Wow…. it was an amazing experience for me.
Thanks to Hero Honda for its top-class vibration isolation.
Every time i open up the throttle, it revs gentle and handles better in stance. Thanks for butter smooth Honda Engine.
Gear shifting is slick n smooth.
Cornering is superb and braking is effective but still needs Brembo Discs found on the legendary version of the CBZ.
As far as mileage is concerned my bike gives me an extra-ordinary mileage of 53 kmpl on city and 58 kmpl on highways. Overall an average mileage of 55 kmpl is guarenteed(subjected to riders handling of the bike).
I hope you all have enjoyed my review.

Aminul Islam on February 17, 2010 at 2:52 pm
Hi guys,
For all of you guys who are confuse for buying a new bike and also confusing between hunk, unicorn or CBZ X-treme.
At first I also confuse before ride CBZ X-Treme. because My older brother use Honda Unicorn and My uncle use Hero Honda Hunk. But I want something better then that’s. Then I find CBZ X-treme. now my brother and uncle often use my bike although they have good bike. You know why? Because CBZ X-treme is best for travelling. I enjoy my every rides. It’s true that CBZ X-treme is the most pashionable and easy controlled bike. I feel proud when my brother and uncle take my bike for ride by leaveing their own bike. And when I go to my office every one looking me for at least one moment……
So. decision is yours……………
I am not Indian. I am bangladeshi………
Aminul Islam on February 17, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Hi Vijay,
It’s for you….
Answare for all of your question is CBZ X-treme.
Because I have riding experience with 150cc (Unicorn, Hunk, Pulsar), Discovery 135cc, 100cc (Splender+, Walton) & 80cc (Loncin, Dying) etc. All of bikes belongs in my relatives and I can use any time when I wish.. But I like my CBZ X-treme (Black) which is bought by myself. (It’s my own pashion)
Be cool……………………..
VIJAY on February 18, 2010 at 9:51 am

I’ve a doubt on performance & mileage between New Version & Old Version CBZ bikes!
please suggest!!!
karthikeyan on March 4, 2010 at 6:56 pm
hi all!
for the past 3~4 months i have been making analysis on 150 cc bikes to be bought,which i like to share here…
first i thought of getting fazer bt the bike is costly(82k),second seat is short,mileage is 40kmpl,height is smaller.
personally i didnt like apache and pulsar.
suzuki gs 150r —- suzuki not so familiar in India for bike.
finally cbz xtreme or unicorn.
I am just 22 yrs old. so i mind look of ma bike.
* mileage in unicorn is 50 kmpl. u cn expect 45kmpl in cbzxtreme.
* engine is smoother in unicorn(i hve ride),i mean comparitively.
* both are almost same in hiegth and length
so all together … both bike are same since look cbz xtreme is a modern bike, but except for the large tank the unicorn is just a performance item….
bike is more than a travelling vechile…..
so finall choice of mine is cbz xtreme…
i will report here after 30 days from now i.e once i get ma bike….
c u soon…
Divyanshu Shekhar on March 14, 2010 at 5:55 pm
I own the new edition of CBZ Xtreme and it rocks.
From rider’s comfort to looks … ..From silent engine to smooth pickup .. .it thrills
Mileage varies from 48 – 57 km/l . If u ride oftenly at 60+- km/h
u would definitely get above 50 mileage . . . . On highway it goes 57 +-
I have achieved 57 and a minimum of 48(rough riding)
Most people don’t read the user manual.
It states that before 2nd servicing it’s recommended not have triple ride and go above 70 km/h
Moreover, we don care about tyres’ pressure …just leave it at the carelessness of air filling provider.
Even a strong bike needs am love and care . . .then she will pay u off . . . .Need 4 Speed …ha
Sanjoy on March 16, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Hi freinds. I have own a cbz atft black alloy self start model. From the very first day I am enjoying its ride quality but till now I have not tried its maximum speed because of first running-in period. No doubt this bike handles well in our city traffic condition. Highway riding is also good but at high speed (over 60kmph)I feel some loss of traction (road grip)comparing to my previously owned royal enfiel.
suman on March 25, 2010 at 5:45 pm

Srinivas on April 25, 2010 at 11:29 pm
I am was shocked by these comments ??//. Because Heronda passion plus is giving 55 – 59 milleage in city.Honda shine will give u 58-62 milleage in city and Unicorn 48-51 in city.But here they are Saying CBZ is giving more than 50 and even some are saying it is giving more than 57…I feel it won’t give that much milleage if it is then it will become one – 1 Bike in INDIA.
Midhun on April 30, 2010 at 12:44 pm
Hi,, i am owning this Red Devil(red and black) CBZ for more than a year,, totally i have given for 5 services, When i took the bike for the first time,,, it was amazing,, it drove me fast rather i drove,, because it makes us to do so,,, if anyone overtake us,, the bike make us to get ready for the race,, so much powerful engine, and pick up,,,in second gear if pull out it will go like devil in a short road, it roars like a jaguar in traffic and will run as fast as it,,,, for me the mileage was around 58kmpl nw it has been reduced to 50kmpl because of the service,, the top speed i gone is 110,, the bike have good control,, am a freak of extra fitting,,i have a center lock,and roots horn,,and clown laugh while pushing the breaks,,and a led light too,,,still the battery life is good,, especially the self start trigger is marvelous,not like pulsar contiously pressing and giving annoying sound,, just a feather touch, its ready….. And when compare to hunk,Cbz is little more Higher and in comfort too,, and that hunk is shorter than Cbz…and guys go for it,, ***** 5/5Raiting
Vijay on April 30, 2010 at 2:47 pm
The comments are proving that the old version of CBZ xtreme is very good, since all the commenter are one or two years old with their experience with Old CBZ bikes, Now the question arises about New CBZ!!!
Is New CBZ X also very good while comparing to old versrion?
Ajay on May 9, 2010 at 11:21 am
I’ve a doubt on performance & mileage between New Version & Old Version CBZ bikes!
please suggest me what a exactly average of that bike!!!
ankush on May 10, 2010 at 5:38 pm
all over its an awesome bike….
juss require few more changes….like its chain cover should also be come in black…
Sharon Wilson on May 23, 2010 at 11:50 am
Hi Guys,
if cbz -x comes in mono susp(like FZ 0r Unicon)it will feel more comfortable in riding.
and i think its time to Change the Front mask of the bike.
And my cbz X is awesome. have 54kms millage, with an upgreated vershion.

CBZ X-Treme self start is priced at Rs56,500,Honda’s grand prix(GP) version i.e. special/limited edition of Unicorn is priced at Rs59,425 and the sporty version at Rs58,150. (all are ex-showroom price,Delhi)
X- Treme is more powerful and comes with loaded features while sporty unicorn symbolizes performance and makes sense for practicality (even after named sporty). If you look for a sporty bike to intimidate your friend then choose CBZ X-Treme but if you are a looking for a family bike pick the Unicorn.
With Pulsar and Apache in the neighboring stands both CBZ X- Treme and sporty unicorn will find its way hard to grab the attention. Honda and Hero Honda have produced impeccable and reliable bikes (still fit and finish of these manufacturers are unchallengeable) and they have brought some high end technologies to Indian roads. It’s true that both Honda and Hero Honda are great manufacturers and they are capable of producing world class bikes but with aggressive players like TVS and Bajaj they have to be more cautious otherwise these warring brothers will become ageing brothers. Honda and Hero Honda should realize that their die-hard fans expect Fuel Injection for their new bikes not stickers!
vikas on June 15, 2010 at 2:45 pm
CBZ extreme and Unicorn. Both these bikes features five-speed gearbox – a one down, rest up shift pattern. Unicorn scores over CBZ X- Treme in being economical, Unicorn returns a combined fuel efficiency/mileage of 52kpl as against 48kpl returned by CBZ X-Treme. Unicorn is meant for performance savvy and CBZ X-Treme for power savvy.
