Shootout: The Best 110cc Bike; Hero Passion X Pro Vs Honda Dream Yuga Vs Honda CB Twister

Indian riders always love good mileage giving bikes. Hero, Bajaj and Honda are the major big bosses in providing economical motorcycles in the country. 100cc, 110cc and 125cc engines really have good time in the Indian two wheeler market. It would be hard for any two wheeler manufacturers to survive without any of these 3 engine displaced commuter bikes in their line up.

Honda has been a good option for 110cc bike searchers as its ramp is occupied by two 110cc motorcycles, CB Twister and Dream Yuga. As an excellent reply to Honda's one man show with these bikes, Hero Motocorp unveiled the Passion X Pro. More than a reply, it was a miraculous Diwali gift from world's number one two wheeler company.



Looks
With better looks, better graphics and better design, Hero Passion X Pro tops the standings. Even though the Passion X Pro's design and graphics was inspired from Passion's signature style, the X Pro holds its own unique style and dignity. The newly designed headlamp, visor, silencer and additionally added fuel tank kit pay dynamic attention to it. The Passion X Pro is available in 8 stunning colors.

Similarly, the Dream Yuga resemblances Honda CB Shine, whereas the CB Twister slightly reflects the CB Unicorn Dazzler.



Features
The X Pro is mated with more features. Digital-analog combo meter console, front disc brake, tubeless tyres and trapezoidal multi-focal headlamp obviously bring more room to commuter riders.
Meanwhile, the CB Twister comes with a front disc brake and a maintenance free battery. It severely lacks a digital meter. It's so terrible that Honda is still having outdated meter consoles. Though the half chain case looks trendy, it causes deposit of a lot of money in the name of maintenance.

At the same time, the Dream Yuga runs on tuff up tubeless tyres. Its 5 step adjustable rear suspension, smooth front suspension and long seat ensures comfortable city drivings. However, there are no digital meter console and no disc break. These two drawbacks don't list the Dream Yuga in the line up of next generation commuter bikes.

So considering features, the Passion X Pro is paid more attention.
