Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI) has launched a new variant of its gearless scooter, Honda Activa.

The new and improved Activa has a more powerful 110 cc engine., compared to it’s 102 cc predecessor. This new 4-stroke engine produces 8bhp at 7500rpm and 0.9Kgm of torque at 5500rpm. However, this increased power is not at the expense of mileage-loss. Honda claims that the mileage is improved by about 15% in comparison to the older version of the Activa.

Honda has kept the design simple but attractive; similar to the older version. The design of the headlight has

changed and is now clear-lens. The winkers at the front and the rear are clear-lens as well. The new activa would be lighter and taller. It’s increase in height may not go down well with the female users. But maybe, Honda plans to make the Activa a scooter meant for the men.

The most exciting feature of the new Activa is the CBS or the Combined Braking System. This is the first two-wheeler in India which would have the CBS. The CBS is a mechanism which balances the engagement of both the brakes in the correct manner. This would be a very useful add-on, because for a lot of Indian two-wheeler riders, braking simply means locking-up the rear tyres and skiding out of control. How effective the CBS system would prove to be remains to be seen though.

The new Activa is available in two versions – activa standard and activa deluxe. The CBS is offered only in the deluxe version. The standard version is priced at Rs39,800 (ex-showroom Delhi). And the colours on offer are Geny Grey Metallic, Force Silver metallic, Candy Lucid Red, Wild Purple Metallic, Black and Pearl Sunbeam White.

    Hope this new variant from Honda is as robust as previous activa. The CBT braking and added mileage would be worth to the customer.
    With Suzuki access125 being well received by the customer ,this new variant from honda making a mark in the gearless scooter segment is something that we should wait and see.

  • huzaifa malik said:

    All is true.Every feature is good.But about the availability of the product.Does honda cares about its showroom, how it accomodates the product to customers, what is black and what is On? It should clear all these first in my opinion.

  • Dileep (author) said:

    @sorabh – The colours offered for Activa are : Geny Grey Metallic, Force Silver metallic, Candy Lucid Red, Wild Purple Metallic, Black and Pearl Sunbeam White. Unfortuantely, we cannot provide you the pictures at this point. You could simply walk into your nearest Honda showroom, in Delhi, to find out.

    @huzaifa malik – That’s very true, huzaifa. Honda showrooms have been pretty ordinary when it comes to satisfying it’s customers. I have even come across cases where there is not even a vehicle available for a test drive in a few showrooms. The unavailability of the black colour has been prevalent during the tenure of the older version Activa. But, that could be put down to the higher demand for the colour.

    Hello, today i have booked honda activa dlx model in withe color here in mumbai where the dealer has quoted Rs.63,000/- on that means delivery within 3 days of time, i just wanted to know what should i check, as in papers works processes the model is dlx or std one is it only one hand delivery, etc etc, i will be very thankful to you,
    thnks

  • Dileep (author) said:

    @anas – Thanks for your comment, anas. Seems like you are a first-time owner of a vehicle. Delivery within 3 days sounds good. I guess you have reached a pretty good Honda dealer. Your colour choice is also nice, as personally I like the white-coloured Activa the most.

    Regarding the paper work – You need to make sure that you receive the RC book (which would be in a card form in most places nowadays), Insurance papers, tax papers, and also the owner’s manual. The RC book would have the vehicle registration number, engine no., chasis no., clour, model and related details. It would also have your name and address in the owner details section.

    Hope this was unseful for you and that you have a good time with your new ride. Do make sure that you wear your helmet all the time, and obey the traffic rules and traffic signals. Drive safe! :-)

  • LG said:

    That was a nice piece of advice my friend…If you are first timer, make sure you take a copy of your RC book and place it somewhere inside your vehicle, and keep the original RC book safe at home

    Wow, what I wouldn’t give to have an Activa. I drive a 1983 Honda Aero. Runs great. But I 80cc’s doesn’t get me going very fast anymore. Especially not up hills. I’d like 110cc’s, at least.
