Sold my 10 yrs old kinetic queen to buy this beauty. Honda new Activa gets a new front and rear section. The front is more stylish with flowing lines, curves and aerodynamic styling with The rectangular bright headlamps.Clear lens turn indicators.
While the ground clearance remains the same as the old one.However this full body scooter has grown taller 17mm and subsequently the height now 765mm versus the earlier760mm.
New activa comes with as many as 14 changes (approximately). Also new is the full length fiber pillion grab rail.Honda claims fuel average between 45-50 kmpl.
Honda claims the use of ABS plastics similar to Aviator helps it to reduce the weight and thus increased mileage or fuel efficiency.
Pros:
Pick up is better, ( 109cc 4-stroke engine pumping out 8 bhp at 7500rpm )
comfort features: 18L storage space, and rear tuff-up tube.
Turn indicator gets cancelled on pressing switch- Nice addition
Average-30kmpl (city driving)
Headlight Clear lens type
Cons:
- The fuel tank capacity of new activa is reduced to 5.
3L from the current 6L.
Suspension is same (at front could have been better if telescopic)
Activa looks more plastic like a scooter from the front .
No Combined braking system as was being rumored on net
Accessories are not available neither with Dealer nor in Market
