Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme Review
Print This Post
I was very excited today morning because I was going to test drive the legendary Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme. On the first look, I was really astonished! The bike looked really cool! It was in fiery red colour and not many bikes in India have this colour.
How does it look?
The bike has very little resemblance to the old CBZ, the headlights got a completely new design. However this is a small disappointment to CBZ lovers because the new ones do not look as good as the old one and also looks a little small for a bike of this size. The first thing that one would notice in this bike is the indicator lights.
Both the back and front indicators merge with the main lights and it looks really nice and unique. The side part of the bike also got a significant face lift. The coloured body part connects as a single line from the tank to the tail lights and is very nicely contoured. Another feature which adds to its cool looks is the grip handle bars for the pillion rider… standing out as two individual horn like bars, it adds to the uniqueness of CBZ. Also the silencer is new and improved.
How does it perform?
When I took the bike for a test drive, the first thought that came up in my mind was ‘wow! this bike feels just like the Hero Honda Hunk’, then after checking the specifications, I noticed that both Hunk and CBZ have the exact same 149.2 cc Engine. So you can see Hero Honda Hunk Review for more information about performace of CBZ because both hae the same engine! The old CBZ had a 156 cc engine, but did not have the pickup and mileage as that of the present engine. Definitely Hero Honda has made some improvement in the engine for this new CBZ Xtreme. It is also claimed that this new model gives a better mileage than the old one, but I cannot be sure of that unless I hear from a real user of CBZ.
Features: The dash board has 3 dials, one for the speedometer, one for the rpm indicator and another for the fuel indicator… all of them descend in the order of the size… looks nice doesn’t it? The shock absorbers do not have the Gas shock absorber unit as it is advertised in Hunk and other bikes, but I would confidently say that it does not make the slightest difference in ride quality.
How does it stand out?
One of the biggest advantages that this bike has is the CBZ brand name. CBZ has been one of most passionate bikes for a very long time… the name alone is worth a price tag. CBZ was adopted from CBR, which is a very famous 600cc bike in foreign countries. The indicator lights and rear grip bars also make it unique because no other bike in the country has such a feature.
Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme comes in 5 great colours: Sports Red, Candy Blazing Red, Boon Silver Metallic, Black and Vibrant Blue Metallic.
Specifications:
Engine: Aircooled single cylinder 4 stroke OHC
Displacement: 149.2 cc
Maximum Power: 10.6 KW (14.4 PS) @ 8500 RPM
Maximal Torque: 12.8 N-m @ 6500 RPM
Gear Box: 5 Speed
Brakes: 240mm Front Disc and 130 mm Rear Drum
Tires: Front: 2.75 x 18 – 42P, Rear: 100/90 x 18 – 56P
Fuel Capacity: 12.3 Litres (+ 1.5 Ltrs Reserve)

Basically I hate this new bike I owned the legendary HH CBZ and I mean the real CBZ . In my opinion its the most GOOD LOOKING bike they ever produced and if bajaj or any other manufacturer had that design they would have made a top seller
nitin on October 2, 2008 at 8:49 am
i hav my CBZ since one year… n i m really happy wid my bike.. the good think in CBZ is its handling even in 80 – 90 kmph.. the negative part in my bike is its fuel efficency.. i get only 35 k/l …but according to my way of driving its affordable as i always kkep my bikes RPM more than 5.. so the bike got the power which i need.. its the best bike in 150cc segment
Jitendra on December 19, 2008 at 6:06 am
I am really confused after reading the review of CBZ Xtreme . According to the review its written after the launch of HUNK. So please clearify me that the Engine used in hunk(150cc) is the same as that of CBZ Xtreme that was launched 2-3 years ago, or the engine of CBZ Xtreme has been changed after the launch of HUNK (The dealer says that the engine of CBZ has been used in HUNK).
Plz clearify it soon as I have to choose one amongst these for me .Also mention the mileage of both .
Deepak on December 19, 2008 at 8:15 am
The engine used in CBZ was used in Hunk. But I reviewed Hunk first and then tested the CBZ, so I wrote it that it was same as Hunk. Both have theoretically the same mileage.
Uday on December 22, 2008 at 10:02 pm
I have my CBZ extreme from past 1 year 8 months. Its an awesome bike I ever tried. Its giving me a good mileage and it has got a nice pickup. I treet my bike as my buddy. I reached 110 in my bike. never failed on road. I happy with my bike. No bike is better than CBZzzzzz… Ha ha ha
gautam on January 6, 2009 at 1:10 pm

Riffat beg on February 4, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Hey hi…..
I am one of the owner of CBZ xtreme
This is one of the most amazing bike of my country
and this bike is more better than KARIZMA>>>>
saravanan on February 12, 2009 at 2:17 pm
CBZ is better 150cc bike but confirm the ATFT engine or not. other things are same when u compared with other 150 cc bike.
bryan andrades on February 13, 2009 at 4:46 am

Ketan on February 15, 2009 at 12:55 pm
go for cbz xtreme dude…it’s very comfortable…else go for pulsar 150…
Kuruvilla on February 15, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Unicorn: safest bet in 150cc, Avg. performance, long termer, at times shoddy aftersales, avg styling, Mileage 45 to 55, good highway; reliable
CBZ/Hunk : Looks personal, excellent performance,milege 45 to 50; excellent aftersales service, 3 years warranty ; good for highway as well as city; reliable.
Bajaj Pulsar : Unrefined engine; poor reliability; digital dashboard not accurate; poor highway bike; poor ergonomics; mileage 45 to 55 (not consistent)
Best of all world : Achiever; Uniron engine, 5 kmpl more mileage than Unicorn, 10 kilos lighter than Unicorn, 0-100 fastest at 17.5 secs; nervous ride after 90 kmph; excellent reliability; BIKE MAY NOT BE AVIALABLE.
GSR : Long termer; mileage similar to Unicorn, reliable, commuter tourer. No performance, GOOD Bike
abinash on February 15, 2009 at 6:10 pm
durga ,oviously you must be prefer HERO HONDA XTREME…..according to your budget it is THE outmost preferable for you…out of this u should look for HERO HONDA HUNK..the most affordable bike..MILEAGE IS BETTER IN HUNK
srini on February 19, 2009 at 8:44 pm
Durga,
Go for either Unicorn/Hunk or Xtreme, totally proven 150cc bikes. GSR is good too, FZ has less mileage, r15 is for track racing, not good for normal commuting. I would have gone for Xtreme !!
cbzowner on February 21, 2009 at 1:10 pm
i own the NEW cbz xtreme with atft sticker pasted.i had done 6500kms on the bike.this bikes disc brake is not up to the mark the old xtremes disk were made by nissan(very good).the pick up is good to beat a UNICORN.but dont race with an rtr cbz is no match for the rtr be it the initial pickup or the top end rtr rules.the mileage never drops below 40km/lt.if u drive under 6000rpm u would easily get 48km/lt,even 50.i would advice people to go for a rtr rather than this bike
-- Ajay on March 3, 2009 at 3:31 pm
guyz even i m going to get a bike soon ,plz suggest me between CBZ extreme , pulsor 150 n apache , Unicon
ullas sharma on March 16, 2009 at 7:41 pm
unless and until you are fine with the low fuel efficiency figures , dont go for CBZ Extreme.
i dont see any significant advantages over the other bikes. looks ? huh , the older one looked better to me. and performance , how can there be improvement when the engine is all same? and , HH are very notorious for using the same engine for everything everywhere , to start with HH has just 2 engines , same engines are bored to different cubic centimeters and you get different bike each time!!
and the more interesting part is , when they face a little competition in the market , what they do is just change the color of the stickers on one of the bikes and call it a new one!! Its game Simple for folks at HH.
and as for the CBZX , the fuel efficiency is very low , if you ride with ‘josh’ ; u may end up with 35kmpl figure at hand.
what would i suggest? Unicorn . i hail honda for making their independent venture.
and , yes , i own a P150 so that proves am not biased about Honda.
Xxx on March 20, 2009 at 4:22 pm
Cbz Xtrm is way better than rtr.
Its all your riding skill. Pick up and top speed greater than bullshit rtr.
Pratyush on March 26, 2009 at 7:14 pm
after going through lots of reviews, some test drives(HUNK, CBZ XTREME, UNICORN, GS150, PULSAR 150, 180) and after numerous consultations to all friends who own these bikes… i finally came to a verdict: I will own a CBZ Xtreme… I am getting my bike tomorrow.
And believe me, just a test ride is enough to woo you…. CBZ Xtreme rocks…
Gurpal on March 29, 2009 at 7:28 pm
hi deepak…can u say which bike would be the best amongst cbz xtreme and hunk?
Deepak on March 29, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Gurpal, just decide on the looks coz both bikes have the same engine.
Gurpal on March 29, 2009 at 8:19 pm
its ok then…but what is your opinion?
Deepak on March 29, 2009 at 9:59 pm
I would buy CBZ because it has a better brand recognition that Junk.. I mean Hunk
Gurpal on March 30, 2009 at 5:52 am
thanks dude for the advice
Pratyush on March 30, 2009 at 2:39 pm
I got a mettalic black CBZ…. and believe me… Hunk is no where close….
Gurpal, go ahead and be a proud owner of a CBZ Xtreme….
Pratyush on March 30, 2009 at 2:45 pm
ah…i forgot to say….Yes, Hunk & Xtreme have the same engines,….but ride both of ‘em….and u’ll know the difference…
Xtreme responds to the slightest of twist u give to the accelerator…
and in a 150 cc bike if there is no quick response to the turn of the accelerator…i think money is going waste….
Gurpal on March 30, 2009 at 7:34 pm
i had no doubt about cbz..actually my brother wanted to know the best bike among these two…i have for sure told him to buy a cbz…thanks pratayush for ur advice
Prashant on April 9, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Hi , I have got new CBZ extreme this month only.. after driving for about 400 KMS, i am having some problems…..
1> Front disc brake makes some noise….. like noise of friction……
2> left side unit below seat vibrates more……..
3> driving at 60 + engine make some noise.. like ghhh…. ghh….. not that smooth..
I hope that all this get rectified after first service.
Jitendra on April 10, 2009 at 9:25 am
Hello Prashant,
First of all , don’t speed up ur bike above 50 for first 1000 kms if u want the best performance from the Engine.
The friction noise is a common prob in the HH bikes as I am having the same with my hunk & at the time of service they don’t resolve it (check it immediatly after the service & get it done)
For the left side , the rubber pad of the fixture must be loose.
santosh kumar on April 13, 2009 at 3:48 pm
i want to know about rpm meter.
i dont understand its usase.
this meter shos what……..
SUNNY MAHAJAN on April 15, 2009 at 2:14 pm
HI SANTOSH,
I HAVE CBZ EXTREME FOR LAST 2 YEARS IT IS GOING NICE TILL DATE,GOOD PICK UP & MILEAGE AROUND(50 TO 53).IN MY OPINION AS FAR AS RELIABILITY MATTERS AS WE ALL KNOW HERO HONDA IS MUCH BETTER THAN OTHER COMPANIES.BUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE PICK UP ITS PULSAR WHO WINS THE RACE FROM CBZ.BUT AS FAR AS I CONCERN LOOKING AT ALL THE FEATURES HUNK WILL BE BETTER CHOICE AS IT GOT GREAT LOOKS & GOOD PICKUP & MILEAGE.
THANKS

danny on April 23, 2009 at 11:26 am
cbz ok but passion and hunk are stupid bike..its better can go for fuck..
no digital meter,no broad tyres at back[even with this small tyres this fuck is giving only 45 mileage] think with 120/80 tyres….we get only 20 mileage..is its comes under maruthi car segment…poor invention by hero honda….karisma totaly dame waste bike……….
danny on April 23, 2009 at 11:30 am
dont invest in getting HH karishma bike..its better to buy gold jewels by spending 85,000 for that bike..or we can go for NANO which is mileaged to 20kmpl..even the karishma do the same under petrol engine…\
sunny on April 26, 2009 at 12:30 pm
i think this cbz have 1 negetive aspect which is its silence
RAYAN on May 6, 2009 at 9:07 am

Ujjal on May 8, 2009 at 2:35 pm

nish on May 11, 2009 at 9:58 am
My cbz is of red colour, which is my favourate colour .
good pick-up, best mileage in all 150cc M.C.
good performance,and no noise at any speed.
this my favourate bike in all 100-225cc bikes.
Shashank Goswami on May 19, 2009 at 4:25 pm
Hi All:
I am a DIE hard Fan of a CBZXtreme.. I was real confused before going for the RED Devil. But after all the reviews and good help from my friends I OWN my LOVE! Now it’s almost two year m riding my DEVIL and believe me ~ This Dare Devil never let me down ~ Great Pick Up.. Superb Handling.. Extreme Power, you only need to twist your throttle and it Vroooommsssssssssssss like a lightning speed.
My experience of CBZ is awesome. We have a Bikers group called Highway Huns.. and we once had a 5 days trip to CHAMBA, believe me that first time I really felt the POWER and AGGRESSION @ xtreme of Xtreme.
So if any planning to buy HH CBZx. I would strongly recommend to go for it! And Njoy your ride..
~But Always Be safe~
Balaji PK on May 22, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Hi , am balaji writing from chennai.I have bought CBX xtreme on dec 12 2007 and am still experiencing the same freshness in my bike after these many days.
I have done 4 voyages (560 km)non stop and it is still in its good position on roads.
I like the most in my bike is the racing look and the initial power it has with smoothness.
I love my CBZ.
ksa chowdary on May 24, 2009 at 6:21 pm

P.R.Suresh Samuel on May 24, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Hi, I was planning to buy a CBZ Extreme this week & hence have been surfing to get an overview of the experience. Reading the above messages, I am more confused than clear. Could some one throw more light.

Syed on June 26, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Hii Guysssss….
I am 5′6 in height…
i am thinking of buying this bike…
will it suitable with my for my height????????
Pratyush on June 29, 2009 at 1:01 pm
with no disrespect, I would suggest CBZ extreme for 5′10″ and above….
It’s a big bike, u can go for a bajaj, that is low on height, but CBZ will bring u some handling problems if u are 5′6″.
don’t take it otherwise.
sumit on July 3, 2009 at 12:19 am
hello frnds im planning to buy a bike.i saw thousands of review of cbz extreme.but im concerned about mileage.can anyone clear my doughts and tell me which bike should i buy??plzzzzzzzzz
mahendran.i on July 4, 2009 at 10:21 pm
well dudes. finally i got a black pantherous cbz extreme..

mahendran.i on July 4, 2009 at 10:24 pm
dude trust me pulsar is pathetic interms of performance and safety…
xtreme rocks on all regards.. xcept 4 milage but it compensates on safety.. so bettr be safe..
mahendran.i on July 4, 2009 at 10:27 pm
pls don do that.. xtreme is a damn devil for yur height,
go for yamaha fz.. or pulsar 150….
happy biking
shaju on July 6, 2009 at 3:46 pm

Ebin on July 6, 2009 at 10:11 pm

I’m 5′ 9″ and I like the CBZ-X over the Hunk. Should I go for it? I want to ride daily for around 50km on highways. Is it sutiable for my height.
Bunty on October 1, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Hi, all I own a Xtreme, its rocking. After much of research in 150cc segment, only 2 bikes stood out top. One is Xtreme and the other Yamaha FZ16. If your budget is 75K then u can go for yamaha, but mind you xtreme is value for money. I owned this bike for 65k, and its mileage is better than FZ16. So guys better go with this bike
Sumit on October 2, 2009 at 3:21 pm
old module of CBZ XTREAM is looking good but new module of CBZ multi colour is not looking good
both megwheel are same is very good & different tipe of megwheel are looking very bed….so changes the CBZ XTREAM…..
saad mirza on October 4, 2009 at 11:55 am
its da same here …. i too need a bike of 150cc ….. thought of CBZ xtreem .. jus wanted to know the its fuel efficiency…….. the bike has really a nice look …
Aditya on October 10, 2009 at 5:12 pm
CBZ is a good bike. Ppl who go for P150 are fooled by bajaj marketing that have crap technology, just naming engines as dtsi and dtsi 2.0 doesn’t make sublime technology.
CBZ has got engine refinement, smooth gearbox, ultimate vibration isolation and low engine noise. Other bike I would suggest is Unicorn. That is also very good bike.
Only thing to consider is your height and look of bike. CBZ is good for ppl with height more than 5′8”.
Richy on October 16, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Hi Guys,
I’m planning to get a second hand CBZ Xtreme (2007 FEB). Guy is asking a rate of 42K. What do you think is the best price I can quote. It has run 28K kilometers. Please advice.
Jayant Nikam on October 26, 2009 at 1:21 pm
I Like CBZ Xtreme .I purches New cbz Xtreme Milage 40-45 Km Pickup very good,look very good.
ash on November 12, 2009 at 6:49 pm
o.k guys!!! hi every 1 . i am a proud owner of the cbz, i owned 3 cbz’z overall . 2 the legendary ones , 1st the silver and then the black , and now i have an extreme in silver as well.
in my opinion , if you are that mileage cautious about cbz , after getting your bike tuned for that perfect throttle and the exactly needed mileage i think cbz is the 1 u need ..
go for it , i bet u , you wont regret for buying this awesome ride , “one of a kind”, a real chick magnet , perfect handeling , hits 110-115 without any kinda issues , feels like you rule the road with those twists and tilts , far better from any other bike in its class . out of all the 3 i owned , never did i have any major fall , it grips the road very well ,
mileage as usual is a issue but if you know it inside out like me im sure u can pull it up to 40 or 45 , thats a decent mileage for this monster .
maintainance is a small issue as the spares are a little expensive , but then again if u get the bike checked every month and take care of the minor problems , that issue is also solved.
guys if u want to go in for this bike and exprience the thrill go 4 it!!!!!!!! no regrets , other then my customized royal enfield , which i take it out only on the weekends , this bike is worth every last rupee that u spend for/on it…
adios have fun

Hey,
My CBZ X-trim has some problems. Some times it has a engine miss and I have tried changing the air filter & spark plug.But the problem is still there.The bike is only giving 32 – 38 km per liter.my average speed is around 45 to 65. The biggest problem is i cannot go faster than 80 kmph. At 80 I feel the engine is noisy like it is working ower 100 or 120.The bike has done only 21000 Km.
Can any one give a solution????
I have already gone for 2 mechanics.

I purchased a new CBZ just a few days back.running fine at the moment but not sure how much does the bike drink fuel if driving at 40 Kmph? Taking care as the bike is in running-in-period.

A.K. JANGID on February 2, 2010 at 12:06 am
here i’ll give u a comparison between two top most bikes in 150 cc segment.
HERO HONDA CBZ XTREME BAJAJ PULSAR
1.LOOK GENTLE N SOBER SPORTY N ARROGANT
2.PICKUP – slightly lower lil higher but dsnt mke ny dfrnce
power
3. Mileage- 52km/l 50km/l
on highway
4.hgst speed- 127km/h 125km/h
note: don’t try to achieve 125 km/h on bajaj pulsar…it is dangerous…u’ll not be there anymore in this world if in emergency, breaks r applied. WHY? read the strongest point below:
5. SAFETY/Controlling at high speed:
BAJAJ PULSAR is worst at this issue…technical reason behind this is tht the C.G. OF THIS BIKE IS NOT AT THE GEOMETRIC CENTER OF THIS BIKE..which makes it DIS BALANCED WHILE BREAKING IN EMERGENCY AT SLIGHTLY HIGHER SPEEDS(90..100..KM/H OR ABOVE)..its CG is oriented more towards the front wheel which tends to skidding of the bike.
whereas if v talk abt HH CBZ XTREME.. this bike is far safer than BAJAJ PULSAR at the above issue bcoz itS complete weight is distributed throughout means CG of XTREME is almost at the GMETRIC CENTER OF THE BIKE…
you can experience this safety/efficient controlling on CBZ XTREME by breaking it suddenly at higher speeds also…but PLZ DO NOT TRY THIS AT PULSAR….your lover ones r waiting for u at your home. ride safely be safe.
6.next comes RELIABILITY:(hoping tht reader knows this word)
Material used and the manufacturing accuracy n precision maintained in manufacturing the engines of both the bikes is entirely of distinguished quality know how:
Bajaj Pulsar’s engine material can not sustain creep and fatigue both after a limited period of usage..tht is why pulsar’s engine starts making dirty noise and vibrations which leads it to a worst mileage n pickup….
whereas XTEREME is reliable at the above point being japnese technology..more accuracy n precision, good quality of material and m/f methods.
7. FROM LATEST TECHNOLOGY POINT OF VIEW- ELECTRICALS and USE OF muPs-
no doubt pulsar has better electrical technology as compared to XTREME but it’s again not reliable…it’s not a proved technology. in many bajaj bikes one can find lighting failure…automatic choke failure…battery problems ..starting problems..n many more…
these new technologies r still awaited in HH BIKES..may be due to non authenticity of these new technologies ..
BAJAJ engineers…plz do better and try get rid of all these flaws….I hope our indigenised product will rise above all..we r waiting…
ALL THE INFORMATION GIVEN ABOVE IS BASED ON THE RIDING EXPERIENCE AND CORRELATION OF THEM WITH THE ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIES.
for your safety:
plz follow the traffic rules n make use of indicators properly, use of breaks properly, and yes dont try unexperienced styles of riding the bikes…rest u all know
tht’s all dear readers and riders
keep in touch……
