Many people including us often complained about the boring looks of Unicorn. To get rid of this issue and to make this brand more prominent in its segment, Honda has launched the new variant of Unicorn named Unicorn Dazzler. Does this bike justify its name? Let’s find out.
Design and Style
Honda has certainly made big changes in this department but most of them are not new. The bike resembles a lot to its much cheaper sibling, Twister. May be the warm reception of Twister has prompted Honda to opt for its design for the new Dazzler. The front cowl and headlight of this bike has high level of resemblance with Twister. The only possible difference that you can figure out is the more edgy character added to this bike. The same raised mud guard has already featured in Hero Hunk and the clear lens indicators and black coloured rear view mirrors also look familiar. The V shaped side cowl features 3D Honda logo and sporty graphics on it in the Deluxe variant. One can also notice its black painted alloy wheels, engine and muffler with a heat shield on it. The side panels are relatively big in size. The bike features a fatty upraised fuel tank which adds macho character to this bike. At the back you can notice a wider rear tyre with a new disc brake and a new tail light and rear fender. The bike looks more appealing now when seen from the back.
After seven years, finally Unicorn gets a digital speedometer. There is a combined analogue digital instrument console in Dazzler. The blue coloured LCD features digital speedometer, fuel gauge, trip meter and odometer. Other than these, it has an analogue tachometer and other indicators in this instrument console.
Engine and Gearbox
The same 150cc engine of Unicorn is equipped in the new Dazzler with slight alterations. This air-cooled, 4-stroke engine now generates a power output of 14 bhp at 8500 rpm. Its 12.7 Nm of maximum torque can be achieved at 6500 rpm. The five speed manual gearbox with one gear down and four gears up-shift pattern of Unicorn is also doing duty in the Dazzler.
