For several years, Honda has had a successful stint in the two-wheeler segment in India. Not long ago, the Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer has reworked on the formula for most of their 109cc scooters and they now claim to offer an exceptional mileage of 60 kmpl for Dio, Aviator and the Activa. Recently, Honda also launched the new Activa, the Activa i.
Visually, the only change one can notice on the new Activa is a small-sized HET badge seen on the left side panel which differentiates from the outgoing model. Honda Eco Technology, abbreviated for HET, is what Honda says that makes all the three scooters highly fuel efficient on Indian roads. All the three are automatic scooters and offer exceptional performance in terms of mileage and drive quality.
The HET is not a new constituent altogether and is not even a new approach. On the other hand, it is an optimization of the present components. With the HET, the mechanical efficiency of these three scooters is greatly increased which invariably leads to better fuel efficiency. Honda has also worked on the combustion which has been enhanced with an optimized inlet port and an innovative spark plug. Friction is also greatly reduced owing to lighter materials, offset crank, enhanced bearing oil seal and a low tension piston ring.
Honda has also optimized the mechanicals and ratios of the V-matic drive. However, these modifications do not seem to have a major impact on the torque and power figures which are nearly the same. Prospective buyers can now book the active online as well. For this, they will have to visit the Honda new Activa website or the dealer website from where they wish to buy the scooter. Online booking is hassle-free and time saving and also allows you to read customer reviews not just for the bike but also the dealership that is selling the bike online.
The new Activa handles and rides identically as the outgoing model. However, there is a distinct enhancement in the smoothness offered by the refurbished transmission. The mileage figures have changed significantly as well. On city roads, the new Activa offers a mileage of 55.55 kmpl while on highways, the scooter returns of mileage figures of 67.42 kmpl.
The new Activa makes use of the same forced-air cooled, four-stroke, 109.2 cc HET engine which powers the other scooters. The engine generates a peak power of 8 bhp revving at 7500 RPM. The HET has been designed to decrease fuel consumption, reduce friction as well the total weight of different engine parts. The new Activa is an automatic scooter and also makes use of variator-driver transmission system and delivers impressive mid and low-range performance that offers effortless and comfortable commute on city roads. The new Activa is much popular online and buyers now prefer booking it online.
