Engine
Honda seems to have used the same 150cc engine for the CB Trigger that powers the CB Unicorn Dazzler. So no new or upgraded engine for the CB Trigger. Here again the CBR150R has the most powerful 150cc engine of the lot with a little more torque,

Dimensions
CB Trigger has a much better ground clearance than the Dazzler, surprisingly the 150R has the highest ground clearance of 190mm. The height of the Trigger is lower than rest of them and thus is much better for the average Indian rider. The Trigger weighs 137kg and is the lighter than the other 150cc Hondas. Both the Length and Wheelbase of Trigger is smaller than the two Unicorns
Verdict
The CB Trigger scores very high in terms of design and dynamics. Looks solid masculine and sporty and combines with a smooth, frugal and reliable Honda engine. It has enough power and torque to match its solid looks. With these parameters it is a serious threat to the segment leader Pulsar 150. The Pulsar looks, although are sporty, are out-dated. It will be interesting to see if the CB Trigger can topple the Pulsar in sales chart. Keep an eye on the April and May monthly sales figures.
