Bajaj Classic 150 VS Honda Unicorn VS Hero Achiever – Design:
The Bajaj Classic 150 is based on the Pulsar 150 and it misses out on tank extensions and a rear disc brake, rest of the design is similar to the Pulsar 150. The design hasn’t been changed much and it continues to come with all black engine, exhaust pipe, chain covers and alloy wheels. It also gets the same digital speedometer and analogue tachometer along with Pulsar signature twin vertical strip tail light unit. Just like the Classic 150, even the Honda Unicorn hasn’t received many design changes and it continues with the same design language as it did back in 2007. At the front, it gets the chrome strip above the headlight unit while at the rear it gets the Monoshock suspension which none of its competitors come equipped with.

But it still comes with the all analogue instrument cluster which look outdated and unlike it competitors it comes equipped with tube tyres. On the other hand, in terms of design, the Hero Achiever 150 has chunky look in comparison with its competitors as it gets a large body panel on the flanks as well as on the tail. At the rear, it comes with red coloured coil springs on the suspension unit which helps it to stand out with the paint contrast. While with the red paint scheme, the body panels contrast goes well with the blacked out engine and wheels. Hero has equipped with the Achiever with its i3s technology which is a start and stop system which helps improve fuel efficiency.
