Honda Unicorn Tyre Size

The Honda Unicorn was the pioneering machine that introduced rear monoshock suspension to mainstream Indian motorcycling over two decades ago, earning a devoted following among mature executive commuters who value plush ride comfort and vibration-free cruising above raw track agility. The Unicorn retains an 18-inch wheel configuration at both ends, pairing a slender 80/100-18 front tyre with a comfortable 100/90-18 rear tyre on cast alloy wheels. The taller 18-inch rolling diameter combined with the rear monoshock delivers what is arguably the most compliant, fatigue-free ride quality in the 150-160cc bracket, rolling over broken suburban road joints without transmitting jolts into the rider's lower back. Honda prescribes 25 psi cold pressure at the front and 29 psi at the rear for solo commuting, rising to 33 psi rear when carrying a pillion. While some younger riders desire the look of a wider 110 or 120 section rear tyre, the Unicorn's narrow rear wheel arch and enclosed chain guard mean anything wider than a 110/80-18 will scrub under full rear monoshock compression.
