Rs 67,079, ex-showroom, Mumbai

1. Racy looks

2. Sporty riding posture

3. Ride quality seems quite crashy

4. Disc brake at the rear improves braking performance

CB UNICORN

Rs 63,620, ex-showroom, Mumbai

1. Aesthetics seem very dated

2. Riding ergonomics conducive for effortless commuting

3. Good ride quality

4. The Unicorn's rear drum brake continues to serve well

Unicorn engine gives power of 13.3 bhp @ 8000 rpm and torque of 12.7 Nm @ 5500 rpm. Dazzler engine gives power of 14 bhp @ 8500 rpm and torque of 12.7 Nm @ 6500 rpm. Honda just altered 7-year-old unicorn engine and put it in dazzler. Unicorn engine was designed to run at lower rpm, but honda is forcing it to run at higher rpm in dazzler. Forcing low-rpm engine to run at high-rpm is not good for reliability. Honda should have designed new engine for dazzler. Stingy company, does not want to spend money.

Honda unicorn is the best bike in its segment whether it is dazzler or unicorn. But I dont think dazzler is better than unicorn. I booked a dazzler but changed the mind later for the following reasons 1. no kick start 2. back disk brake is not effective as the drum brake unicon have 3. weight is less by 8 kgs in dazzler. The riding comfort and shock absorber efficiency decreases with decreasing weight especially in longer rides. 4. There is no foot rest guard in the silencer of dazzler. So I told the dealer to give me a unicorn…and now I am a prod owner of Honda unicorn

Guys i am working in HMSI itself. Personally i reviewed both bike. If i will have option than i will go for CB Unicorn not to Dazzler. Of course Dazzler have good power and pick up as compare than unicorn but that it just on numeric figure. I though Dazzler is not perfect of wet and rough road due to his rear disc.Our many technician have been injured with Dazzler bucause when they applied rear brake, the braking was so so so fast that driver loose control on wet surface and rough road. I personally though Drum brake is not required on Indian Road because of huge dense vehicular population.If you really crazy on rear brake than upgrade your Budget and make your hands on ABS Brake, which supply exact braking force on raer wheel. Once completely do mapping the traffic condition of your city and your regular route. If all satisfy you than only think about Dazzler.I strongly believe that you will enjoy the Quality, relaibility and Durability of Honda Dazzler in such a way that you may nev

HI I bought dazzler in may and i dint have a problem with this bike..its a osam bike okk wise and also average wise...and kick is not there still there is no problem....i am happy with this bike...

I had booked dazzler in july. But now since August 2011, dazzler is not available in showrooms. The showroom people say dazzler production has stopped. Why they dont know. They say next batch of dazzler expected in 2012 only. I think honda may give kicker option, because new yamaha Fz-S has kicker now. So, thinking of SZ-r or Fz-s or even RTR180 now, prefer lighter bike. RTR180 has rear disk and kiker too. For bigger bike, I prefer Gs150r or Hunk over Cb-unicorn, as unicorn is outdated and lacks many features.

  Production did not stop.The market demand is very poor, so they have done limited procution.

Dazzler is not available since August 2011 in showrooms. Does anybody know why dazzler production has stopped?? Is honda going to give kicker option for dazzler??

Hi guys,today i booked honda dazzler in hyd,Today i entered the showroom keeping honda unicorn in mind but due to few reasons i switched to dazzler,the reasons are its new look,light in weight which is good for indian traffic roads.I still have an option to change the order,apart from the above reasons i fear about kick start missing in dazzler....please give me any valid suggestion about performance of electric start

  Posted by Sachin at 1st May,2011
CB Unicorn is more fuel efficient in city driving conditions but dazzler is bit more easy to ride in city due to lesser weight.if you can leave without digital display & rear disk,then unicorn is better.
  Posted by Azhar at 31st March,2011
m in a big confusion....unicorn or unicorn dazzler...??? if i book unicorn,den hav 2 wait fr 6 months...dazzler on spot...bt gud one is unicorn,,, wat 2 doooooo??? :-(
  Posted by Sharad Tiwari at 27th March,2011
In Dazzler we get Tubeless tyres front and back-Gives much better control .In future you can put bigger tyres which is not possible in CB-Unicorn ,Digital meter, upgraded engine-which is more superior to current Cb unicorn engine. Rear disk gives very good control in city driving , when you are driving on city roads. Lesser wt by 10 kg . Helps in putting less pressuare on body and hands .So fatigue free driving. Dazzler gives all better benefits of unicorn removing all weakness of old bike. I sold my 2.5 yrs old unicorn for very good price, which is only possible in honda products. My new Dazzler is Armour gold lite wt. comfortable power full and gives me 55 ka average..........Blindly purchase Dazzler........ You wont regret.

  Posted by Deepu at 11th January,2011
Hello all. I've been using Honda unicorn for the past 5 years and 50,000km. I'm seriously thinking of a new bike. Today had a chance to ride the new CB Dazzler, but no offences meant, it failed to please me. The Dazzler behaves in a more masculine and aggressive way than the mature, composed elder brother Unicorn. The styling is not to my taste(personal opinion). The fuel tank looks small (puny?).I agree that rear disc brakes performs good, but the drums of old unicorn too is effective. Overall being a hard core fan of Honda Unicorn, I'm going to book new CB Unicorn tomorrow.

Hi all..i have bought uni dazzler on May 31st…Completed my 6 months and it has crossed 4500kms…Only one word i can say is Awesome or excellent or great….now i m feeling the slogan of Honda “I Enjoy the Quality”it has very smooth engine with comfort riding…. its definitely a gud upgraded package than old unicorn…the wider rear tyre,sexy digi console,power increment and tubeless tyre gives u a pleasant driving and sporty look…paying just 4000 bucks extra u get thise upgrades than older Uni which is good value for money thing… In City riding i acheived mileage of 52…Depends on driving style..but it gives around 50-55 kmpl in city riding conditons…In top speed(60 – 70kmph)also bike doesnt makes noise and vibes..feels like flying….only doubt is it doesnt have kick start..oly elec start..i ve doubted and scared while hearing first..after enquiring dealr he said ..it comes wit MF battery and sure ther will be no prob for 4-5 years in battery….gear shift is really s

CB UNICORN DAZZLER IS TOO GOOD THAN CB UNICORN AND OTHER 150cc BIKES . :)
  Posted by Goutam Bhadra at 25th November,2010
Hi friends,I'm Goutam Bhadra from CoochBehar,westBengal.I'm an ardent fan of bike and also say's that, I'm a showroom manager.We deals with TVS Motor Company.As a result I know best about bikes.From my School life I always wants to know about the technical specification of various bikes and try to find out the actual hero of them.Here is my opinion-The engine specification is Cb Unicorn & Dazler is same,BHP is change as for the weight of that two are not same.Looks is different things.Many man many minds.Dazler has a rear Disc brake but I think unicorn has 130mm drum brake which is less expensive from dazler.Dazler has no chain cover.Commpany say's there is a 'o'ring system chain but I think many of the bike mechanic does not know the washing procedure of that chain.As a result it may be a big problem for dazler owener.In a word Cb Dazler it's just sporty look but same as twister.In other hand Cb Unicorn is a sound less beast and a natural look.From my heart,I strongly recommend every

Hi friends i'm an ardent fan of Honda. I'll give you a clear picture of which bike is better. I & my friend has both CB Unicorn & Dazzler. CB Unicorn- Better comfort, mileage, durability. CB Dazzler- Comfort okay, mileage too not steady, durability(?). I waited for more than three months for CB Unicorn and at last got the bike. I don't regret for waiting since it is better than any other bike i have rode and i'm telling you this from my heart. I had Pulsar, my brother had Hunk and my friends had CBZ and Apache we all drove each others bike and everyone came to a conclusion that all of them liked CB Unicorn. CB Unicorn weight and jerk is balanced even if the bike is in full throttle. Once you pass the third gear you wont feel the engine sound, it's so smooth no wear & tear for long-term. It is trendy too for youth's and good value for money. CB Dazzler it's just sporty look but same as twister, weightless etc - not up to the mark. I strongly recommend everyone to buy CB Unicorn especial

  Thanks Gautham, i have book CB Unicorn & waiting period is 3 month. But after gone thru your review i m ready to wait...

CB is far better than Dazzler so jpt look of dazzler lost balance after 80km\hr

All r Gud in Dazzler except the Kick start, During rainy days we definitely require kick start!!!

  Posted by Tulsiram at 8th October,2010
cb unicorn dazzler is better than cb unicorn,b,cause it is advanced maodel of cb unicorn,both has same engine performance but dazzler is look better than cb unicorn.Dazzler to bada bai hey twister ka, so i suggest dazzler to everyone,but you first test drive.
  Posted by Deepak at 3rd October,2010
CB Unicorn is better than CB unicorn dazzler in many ways: 1) Looks: CB is bigger to suit the engine and tall riders. Dazzler looks very similar to Twister. Its for kids. 2) CB has better ergonomics and is well balanced at higher speed. 3) CB has button as well as kick start option which is suitable for Honda engine. You will feel starting trouble in winter.

  Hi Kamal, There is no doubt that UNICORN is THE BEST. Only problem is the delay in the delivery of the bike after booking. But, it would be better, no, THE BEST if you choose HONDA CB UNICORN!!!!!!!!
  Posted by sivaji at 17th October,2010
  cb unicorn the best than dazzler
  Posted by Admin at 23rd August,2010
  If you want a lighter bike with ease of manoeuvrability, it is the CB Dazzler. However, it is not as comfortable as the Unicorn, which has a wider handlebar. We suggest you take both bikes for a quick test ride and then decide.
  Posted by kamal at 19th August,2010
comparing between Dazzler & Unicorn, which one will be better in comparison of pressure on hand? as i m the patient of hand. plz someone reply. coz am from Kathmandu & Dazzler has not been lunchged in Nepal. plz do reply.

  if u dont have kick start, then dont worry,switch on your bike put it in main stand, rotate back tyre with hands, and put it in gear, your bike will start without self. but i think that old and cb both unicorn r better, i dont know about dazzaler. but if u r not buying this bike just for kick then u may go ahead.
