At last Honda changed the front suspension in Activa, though it is 125 CC upgrade. Good to see trip meter, park light, alloy wheel, Disc brake and Chrom plated 'grill'.

New Activa will cost more than 60k for sure. Prices are not clear yet, but should be a few thousands more than 110cc going by how Honda normally prices its variants.

Expected launch may be this year or not, depending on the internet site :P

In tune with the evolving market, Honda is aiming to expand its operational field with the introduction of this premium variant.

According to the official brochure, the Activa 125 will be powered by a 124.9 cc four-stroke air-cooled petrol engine which produces 8.6 bhp @ 6,500 rpm and a max torque of 10.12 Nm @ 5,500 rpm. This power will be transmitted via Honda’s V-matic continuously variable transmission. The company claims that the scooter will have best in class mileage.


Dimensionally the Activa 125 is 1,814 mm in length (53 mm longer than the Activa) 704 mm in width (6mm thinner than the Activa) and 1,151 mm in height (4 mm taller than the Activa). It has a wheelbase of 1,260 mm (22 mm longer than the Activa), while the seat height is 765 mm (same as the Activa).

Suspension duty is carried out by telescopic forks at the front while spring loaded hydraulic type takes care of the rear. A 190 mm disc brake (optional) is provided at the front, while the rear gets conventional 130 mm drums brakes with Combi Brake System (optional).

Other features include a new digital speedometer and five-spoke alloys (optional). The Activa 125 is available in four colors – Midnight Blue Metallic, Black, Peal Sunbeam White and Sword Silver Metallic.
