Honda X-Blade Discontinued, Bike Delisted From Website

Honda has delisted the X-Blade model from its official website, thus discontinuing it from the Indian market. Coincidentally, this move comes shortly after the launch of the new SP160 model. With hardly any units left, finding one at a dealership night also be a challenge. 

Honda appears to be clearing the clutter and simplifying it's lineup. The SP160 was recently introduced with a price tag between ₹1.17 lakh and ₹1.22 lakh, had the same underpinnings and motor as the XBlade and Unicorn. With the SP160 serving the same purpose of a more fancier alternative to the Unicorn, having the XBlade also on sale didn't make sense.

Also, the XBlade was not quite as loaded as the old CB Hornet 160R missing out on a rear disc brake option as a variant. 

Honda's decision to focus on the SP160 comes as the festive season approaches. The company likely sees potential in this new model and wants to give it the best chance for success.
