The CB Unicorn 150 ABS also continues to receive conventional telescopic front forks and a monoshock rear suspension set up. Braking is handled by a 260mm disc up front and 130mm drum brakes at the rear. The commuter motorcycle rides on 18-inch alloy wheels with 80/100-R18 and 100/90-R18 tyre profiles at the front and rear, respectively.

Due to its popularity, the non-ABS model will be sold alongside the new ABS version, until 1st April 2019. This is when the upcoming Safety norms will be implemented. According to the safety norms, all 125cc and above two-wheelers must mandatorily feature ABS while those below 125cc should come equipped with CBS (Combi-Braking System).
