If you’re looking to buy a New Scooty/scooter, here’s a great opportunity for you all. Honda has recently launched its newest model of Activa Series. I recently purchased this Honda Activa 3G and before this I had Activa - 110CC(The Old One). The new Honda Activa 3G is much much better than the old one. The pick-up is far better. The New Honda Activa 3G gives much mileage than the Old one. After 2 weeks of my purchase of the new Honda Activa 3G, Me and My friends planned a Road-Trip to Mussorie from Delhi. The New Honda Activa 3G actually gave quite a good fuel-economy than my friend’s old model of Honda Activa. The New Honda Activa 3G has an option of disk brakes too for emergency purpose. And the price of the scooty is affordable too, I mean, it will cost you around 50, 000INR which is very much fine if you look at what all specifications the New Honda Activa 3G has come up with.Honda claims to have given a cosmetic makeover for the Activa 3G. Yet, in a glance, the new scooter looks exactly similar to its predecessor. Look closely and you will realise that the front fascia has been tweaked mildly with a restyled and larger faux vents. Also the handlebar mounted headlamp and turn indicators have been given minor updates. It seems to be a deliberate strategy of the Honda designers to maintain the typical “Activa face” on the new scooter as the basic design DNA has been left untouched. The most striking visual difference between both the generations of Activa can be made from the rear.
The Honda Activa 3G continues to be powered by the tried and tested 110cc motor as seen on its predecessor. The air-cooled, single-cylinder mill churns out 8PS of maximum torque and 8.8Nm of torque. The Honda Activa 3G is a peppy scooter and has good acceleration owing to a strong bottom end. The scooter can cruise at speeds around 60kmph without any effort but feels strained once the dial crosses 70kmph. Another aspect of the Honda engine is its brilliant refinement. Riding posture on the Honda Activa 3G is upright and comfortable with decent footboard space. Pillion comfort is also nice owing to the aptly cushioned seats and chunky grab handle.The Activa 3G is quick on its feet and changes directions with aplomb so that the rider can squeeze out through the tightest of gaps. Braking is done via drum brake at front and rear while CBS(combi brake system) is standard. The drum brake setup do a good job in shedding speeds and also provide decent feedback. Ride quality is one aspect where the Activa needed improvement. Sadly, the Activa 3G doesn’t address this issue. The new scooter from Honda still employs a trailing link suspension at front which results in the handle bar juddering every time one rides over broken roads and telescopic front forks should have been added.
Overall, the Honda Activa 3G still remains a good 110cc scooter option. The brilliantly refined engine, impressive fuel efficiency and nimble handling make it a great option as a city commuter. But with competition stepping up the game, we expected the Honda Activa 3G to be loaded with new features, more design flair and better cycle parts.the body is made up of metal it slight a bit heavy than others, braking system is good, graphic works and style of the bike is awsome, coming to the performance of the bike, its giving a moderate mileage of 40kmpl and can be used in any rugged terrain area, comfortable and smooth ride, making it suitable for indian roads, as it is metal body dents on it can be easily covered, engine is very powerful and can easily take 3 medium size personalities with ease, good stability, but coming to drawbacks I faced, side stand wears much fastly than expected, needs maintainence minimum 2 time s an year, and maintainence requires about Rs 600 per service(nominal), the resale cost of the activa is approximately 40, 000 for 2years used,
coming to to the overall performance it is very good and easily affordable for both beginerrs, male and female and can use with comfort, It gives what we expect from a good one and surely it satisfied me.
