    Honda has done away with the 102cc engine that powered the Activa, Dio and Aviator, replacing it with a revised 109cc, four-stroke engine. The new Honda engine uses air cooling as well as an increase in stroke. Compression is higher and peak power output has increased from 7bhp on the older scooter to a meatier 8bhp built up at 7500rpm. The new Activa engine provides a smooth, ultra-refined and totally vibration-free feel. It’s peppier and less stressed throughout the power band and takes 10.16 seconds to breach 60kph as compared to the older scooter’s over 13sec. Top speed is also up, from 77kph to a true 88kph, which allows for better cruising ability when riding on open roads.

    A throttle position sensor and paper element air filter are used too. Honda’s CLIC system allowing the Activa’s rear body to be tipped up makes for easy and convenient access to the engine. The new Activa uses a conventional under-bone type and tube steel frame skeleton.
