The 2020 Honda CBR150R is powered by a 149cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled 4-stroke 4-valve DOHC engine that produces 17.2 PS of power and 14.4 Nm of torque matched to a 6-speed gearbox. The CBR150R comes with a preload-adjustable conventional hydraulic telescopic front fork and a preload-adjustable link-type mono-shock suspension on the rear. The CBR150R comes with a 1309mm of the wheelbase, 166mm of ground clearance and 787mm of the seat height. The 2020 Honda CBR 150R features single hydraulically operated petal disc brakes on both ends equipped with a dual-channel ABS system.
The Thai-spec CBR150R is completely different from the version that was sold in the Indian market a few years ago.

The 2020 Honda CBR 150R will rival the Yamaha YZF-R15 v3 in the Thai market and if the brand introduces it here in India.
The 2020 Honda CBR150R will come at a manufacturer’s suggested price of THB 99,700 and THB 92,570 for the standard model with the only-Black paint finish.
