In order to compete with the predominant Hero MotoCorp, Honda launched a new variant called Dream Neo at an even lower price in 2013.[10] And in 2014 the still cheaper Honda CD 110 Dream followed.[11] Since 2013 the Dream Yuga comes with a more fuel efficient HET engine,[12] the same that is used in the two other motorcycles. From November 2018, Bangladesh Honda Private Limited (BHL) started the manufacturing of Honda Dream Neo 110 in Bangladesh. [13]
Variants
editHonda Motorcycle and Scooter India has other models in this 110cc segment that are more or less variants of the Dream Yuga but may not have all the features or may have different features to cater to wider customers and competition from manufacturers like Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto in the 100-110cc segment. Although all models keep the same 110cc engine coupled with same 4-speed gearbox, as well as the diamond-style chassis frame.
Dream Neo
editProminent differences from Dream Yuga are the inclusion of goods-carrier rear handle-grip, yellow turn-indicators, and different head-lamp style. Rest of the features are kept unchanged.
CD110 Dream DX
editThis is the lowest priced variant. Prominent differences inherit all changes from Dream Neo, plus the bike doesn't get the black-themed engine and alloy wheels, both of which keep the aluminium shade of color.
Previous versions of this bike came without auto-start (kick-start only), spoked-wheels and tube-based tires, to keep costs down for intended customers. But new models since 2018 have both auto-start and alloy-tubeless features.
