New Honda Activa review, test ride

The 2013 Activa’s styling remains untouched, retaining its universal appeal. Honda’s new engine is developed to run more efficiently. This Honda scooter has a four-stroke, 109cc, single-cylinder and forced air-cooled engine generating maximum power of 8bhp at 7500rpm and peak torque of 0.9kgm at 5500rpm. With this new HET-equipped engine, the Activa gets improved combustion thanks to using a superior spark plug. The inlet ports are redesigned, there’s a new offset crankshaft, low-tension piston rings, lower friction bearing oil-seals and lighter internal engine components. Moreover, pulley converter ratios within the automatic transmission are also modified, further aiding fuel economy without sacrificing any power or torque.
