All prices are ex-showroom Delhi.
First unveiled in June 2019, the new Honda Activa 125 BSVI is designed and built for the next era of transformation. It comes with a host of industry-first features offering more value to the customers. The all-new Honda Activa 125 BSVI is developed with as many as 26 new patent applications.
At the heart of the new Activa 125 ticks, a Bharat Stage-VI compliant Honda’s trusted 125cc PGM-FI HET (Honda Eco Technology) engine, boosted by Enhanced Smart Power (eSP).
The scooter brings future technology to the present, bringing India at par with the global standards. A performance accelerator to the HET engine, Honda Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) technology optimizes energy output by maximizing efficient combustion and minimizing friction with a silent start & a smooth eco-friendly engine.
Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) is an integration of the following:
Unique Honda ACG Starter:
It starts the engine jolt free via the same AC generator used to generate current and charge the battery while riding. This eliminates the need for a conventional starter motor, thus, there are no gear meshing noises.
Two new mechanical features lead to engine start without applying much force – the first being efficient utilisation of decompression with slightly opened exhaust valves (at the beginning of compression stroke) followed by the Swing Back feature which rotates the engine in a slightly opposite direction, which allows the piston to take a ‘running start’, making it easier to start the engine with a small amount of power.
The Honda ACG starter also ensures comfortable frequent operation of the Idling Stop System, another first for Honda models in India. The Idling Stop System automatically switches the engine off at the traffic light and other brief stops, eliminating unnecessary fuel consumption and resulting in lesser emission. The engine can easily be re-started with a simple twist of the throttle.
Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI):
It injects the right amount of fuel in cylinder based on specific engine data and constant feedback from the sensors. It results in smooth and linear power output throughout.
Improvised tumble flow: Honda developed the world’s first tumble flow technology through integrated die-casting process. It produces tumble flow by optimizing inlet port shape and using reverse flow phenomenon, without adding additional components leading to combustion improvisation.
Friction Reduction:
Offset Cylinder, compact weight crankshaft & piston reduce overall engine friction. Optimized weight results in improved fuel efficiency.
Mileage UP:
The mileage of the new environment-friendly BSVI Activa 125 is up by 13% due to a completely new engine powered by globally acclaimed eSP technology.
Extending the promise of great aesthetics with brighter visibility, the new Activa 125 BSVI comes with a full LED headlamp and restyled signature LED position lamps. Premium chrome finish on the front and side panels complemented by embossed 3D Activa 125 logo gives the scooter a new stylish personality.
Full metal body with a chiselled tail lamp & grab rail fulfils the promise of an easy & a reliable ride. Making every ride on new Activa 125 BSVI comfortable and convenient is the Combi-Brake System (CBS) with equalizer and 3-step adjustable rear suspension.
In addition to the 18-litre under-seat storage space, new Activa 125 BSVI gets a front glove box which provides additional storage space. It also comes equipped with a unique integrated dual function switch NEW for unlocking the seat & opening external fuel lid offering maximum convenience to the rider.
The scooter comes with a new Digital Analogue meter with Advanced Information. It shows 3 real-time informatics like Range (displays distance one can travel with existing fuel in the tank), Average fuel efficiency (for overall fuel efficiency display) & Real-time Fuel Efficiency for rich riding experience. The meter displays details like Total Trip, Clock, ECO Indicator and Service Due Indicator with an On-Board Diagnostic feature of Malfunction light.
Side Stand Indicator with Engine Inhibitor which is a first in the scooter segment, prevents engine start while the side stand is engaged enabling a convenient and carefree ride.
As another industry first, Honda will also be offering a special 6-year warranty package (3 years standard + 3 years optional extended warranty) on Activa 125 BSVI.
2020 Honda Activa 125 Colours:
The new scooter will be available in 4 colours Rebel Red Metallic, Midnight Blue Metallic, Heavy Grey Metallic & Pearl Precious White.
