The newest entry into the Activa line-up was the Activa 125, after Activa I series and Activa 3G. The name comes from the 125cc engine used. With a daily ride for 1 hour, I’ve never really had any problem with the usage. Roads in my city are famous for potholes, but the rides with Activa have been smooth with good shock absorbers. The averages I get on city roads is 45kmpl which is pretty good compared to few other vehicles I tested in this range. The scooter is a bit on the heavier side, but that is why it is stable and doesn’t wobble on roads. The brakes are good and instant. Built wise the quality is excellent. In my 15 months of usage, I’ve never had any problem and went to the service centre just for regular servicing.
Activa remains to be a best seller with its lower maintenance and repair cost.
Who should buy Activa: Its for people who want a smooth ride, though not recommended for daily rough rides.
