Lahore — Atlas Honda has introduced its all-new motorcycle CG150 in Pakistan after a long wait of six years. This launch is considered to be a major breakthrough. Because the company had been relying solely on stickers and appearance changes for many years. This time the company has presented a completely technologically and designally new model beyond the expectations of customers, which will make the competitive atmosphere in the market more interesting.
The new CG150 uses the latest 150cc OHC engine, which is the same engine as the CB150F. It includes a balance shaft that reduces the vibration of the engine, and makes the performance of the vehicle smooth. Moreover, the gear shifting system is all-forward, which is similar to the traditional CG125 and CD70, to make it easier for the user to operate.
The motorcycle comes with a host of advanced features including LED headlights, self-start, black alloy rims, front disc brakes, and CBS braking system. In particular, the CBS system is important for the safety of the user, because the front brake works partially automatically when the rear brake is applied. Shock absorbers have also been improved To give the rider a more comfortable riding experience.

The new CG150 is priced at Rs. 459,900. At this price point, the model competes with several other prominent motorcycles in Pakistan’s market:
