FUEL EFFICIENCY
The Honda Trigger was ridden close to 600 kms in two days and subjected to all kinds of riding conditions that included high speed bursts, constant cruising, ghat riding, stop and go traffic etc. Spending most of time under demanding and stressful conditions, the Trigger rendered a mileage of approximately 48 kpl. Such style of riding isn’t an everyday affair and we expect the numbers to improve in the hands of a more sedate rider.
CONCLUSION
Armed with traditional Honda refinement, the Trigger is an extremely capable motorcycle further armed with fabulous handling and braking manners. The short geared nature might not earn it a tag of a mile muncher, but it makes up for a brilliant city tool for someone looking to upgrade to a premium commuter class. A comfortable seating position, a light clutch connected to a near flawless gearbox while retaining the benchmark engine refinement from its predecessors and reasonably good mileage- the Trigger is a deserving candidate hard to overlook. Available in three variants, the only stumbling block that lies in the Trigger’s path is the price (On-road Mumbai).
CB Trigger STD (Front Disc, Rear Drum Brake) – INR 79,335/-
CB Trigger DLX (Front Disc, Rear Disc Brake) – INR 82,733/-
CB Trigger Combi Braking System – INR 90,095/-
The pricing puts the top end variant of the Trigger into the category of performance motorcycles in India with the STD variant still being priced higher in comparison to the competition. But if you wish to look no further than a Honda and need something that would handle your routine commuting chores without fuss and an occasional weekend outing, we’d say “Go ahead, pull the Trigger”.
