New Colour Options for 2026

The 2026 Honda CBR150R now offers three color options. Last year, Honda introduced Honda tricolor and silver variants. Both options continue with the 2026 model. The new Stealth Black variant features a matte black finish with orange accents. These orange highlights appear on the front cowl, fairing, fuel tank, belly pan, and underseat structures. The alloy wheels, engine casing, and exhaust also receive the blacked-out treatment.

The silver variant uses a combination of silver and yellow shades, while the stealth black offers a more striking presence. The addition of the Stealth Black color aims to keep the model fresh for 2026. No other changes have been made to the bike for this model year.
