Engine, Gearbox, and Performance
The Honda Activa 125 is powered by a 124 cc SI engine that delivers 8.18 hp while the peak torque output stands at 10.3 Nm. This engine comes mated to an automatic CVT gearbox and offers superior refinement and smoothness levels. Activa 125 now comes with a PGM-Fi (programmed fuel injection) fuel system which helps in delivering up to 13 percent more mileage. This is achieved by the use of new tumble flow technology that increases the turbulence of air-fuel mixture which results in improved combustion and better power delivery.
Ride and Handling
The ride and handling balance offered by the Aciva 125 is great. The rider and the pillion remain comfortable one the badly patched up surfaces while the highspeed stability is decent. The scooter gets telescopic suspension at the front while at the rear, it gets 3-step adjustable spring loaded hydraulic suspension while it is underpinned by underbone type frame. The scooter is agile and easy to drive at slow speeds but we would have appreciated better ride quality.
