Motorcycle enthusiasts have a reason to celebrate — the iconic Hero Honda CBZ is making a comeback, and this time, it’s arriving with a completely refreshed design, modern technology, and a performance boost to match today’s riding needs. The new-look CBZ is expected to launch in late 2025, marking a nostalgic return of one of India’s most beloved commuter-sport bikes.

A Legend Reborn

Originally launched in the late 1990s, the Hero Honda CBZ quickly became a youth favourite for its sporty styling and peppy performance. Now, after years of absence, Hero MotoCorp is bringing it back with a blend of retro charm and contemporary upgrades.

Industry insiders suggest that the 2025 CBZ will carry forward the muscular fuel tank design, split seat styling, and aggressive stance that made it popular — while adding LED lighting, a fully digital instrument cluster, and improved aerodynamics.

Key Design Highlights

Sportier Fuel Tank: Sculpted with deep knee recess for better grip

LED Headlamps & Tail Lamps: Sharper, brighter, and more energy-efficient

Alloy Wheels with Tubeless Tyres: Modern look and better performance

Dual-Tone Paint Options: Bold colour schemes for a premium feel

Digital Instrument Console: Displays speed, gear position, mileage, trip meter, and Bluetooth connectivity

Performance and Engine

While the company has not officially revealed specifications, reports indicate the new CBZ could be powered by a 160cc–180cc air-cooled engine, tuned for a balance of city-friendly mileage and highway performance.
