Honda Activa is probabaly the first serious gear-less scooter that was offered in our markets, and ever since it has been generating great sales numbers for Honda. and sales numbers don’t come easy. It is all because of Honda’s bulletproof built-quality, realiability and ease that Activa offered to the riders. And now we have the latest Activa offering the ACTIVA-3G.
Activa 3g is nothing new but the same 2014 Activa with a few engine updates and offcourse the 3g sticker. but having said that it looks like the older model, there is nothing else that goes against the vehicle.
In its heart is the tried-and-tested work horse Honda engine, that produced enough power and torque also ages like non other. Talking of the age a Activa after 5 years of use is still as good and reliable as a new one is. that’s all I can say of the build quality. its bulletproof.
Riding an Activa is as easy as it gets. the throttle response is good, for the category it is in.the seats are nice and wide and accommodate two with ease and comfort.
Suspensions basically soaks most undulation on our roads and keeps the rider happy. Talking of ridablity we cannot miss the C.B.S., CBS is what Honda calls as the combi-Brake-System, It is a mechanism that helps you brake safe on Activa, What CBS does is, if in any braking situation a rider apply the brakes the CBS will evenly distribute the braking force between both front and rear wheel, that prevents skidding and helps rider control the vehicle better. and the verdict. if you are in market and all scooters look same to you then buy an Activa for the CBS alone. it is a feature that important.
and lastly " deti kitna hai? " Fuel consumption. in ideal city traffic it should return to you around 45km/lt. and if you ask me that’s good enough, considering this is what you will get from almost all scooters in category.
CONCLUSION:
Activa is work horse that will always be ready to work. never give up. its a decent mix of power, relaiabilty, and ridebilty. and the price it is offered at. its is the scooter go buy!
