Friends this is one of the good product. After riding this scooter in city as well as in highway for about 400 km cumulatively, today I am reviewing this. Honda activa being the highest selling scooter in the market, with the bs 4 norms honda launched fourth generation activa which named as activa 4g.
Riding experience:
the first thing is the ergonomics, this scooter has got ample leg space and it means taller rider are comfortable. The speedometer console along with fuel gauge is decent looking but misses the funky looking part digital console as in most of the scooter in this range. The bulky looking all steel body looks good and both males and females would like it. The 110 cc with a maximum power of 8 bhp is quit a responsive and well refined unit. This scooter goes up to 70 kph with ease and with a top speed of 80 kph. Braking is not all that good and I would prefer a disc brake standard across all activa model, but the advance braking system which honda calls cbs(combi braking system) acts well in this scooter. This is the added safety feature. The turning radius is decent in this scooter so a lack of confidence stays while taking sharp turns in city traffic.
Details about looks, performance:
honda activa targeted both male and female riders with its bulky looks so everyone will enjoy riding this scooter. The speedometer and fuel comes with full analogue console without trip meters. In the fourth generation activa the remarkable change is nothing except bs 4 norms and aho feature. Performance as I mentioned earlier is as good as to expect from a 110 cc scooter. This engine is very refined. Practicality is good, it gets about 20 liters of boot space under the seat. It also gets mobile charging port. Its misses the external fuel lid and that’s a big disadvantage in today’s life. But with a price rage of almost same, hero maestro has more things to offer than activa 4g. It has got bigger tyre in front, illuminated boot space, external fuel lid, part digital console, alloy wheels, more boot space and better leg space than activa 4g.
Servicing and maintenance:
the maintenance of this bike is very cheap, it gets six free servicing and there after every 3000 km which is also a very nominal amount. The engine oil and air filter needs to be change every after 6000 to 7000 km and spark plug after 12000 km.
Pros: refined engine, low maintenance, fuel economy.
Cons: looks, outdated console, under seat fuel lid.
