Honda Activa 6G: The Scooter That India Trusts For Its Reliable Performance One such best and most reliable scooter in India is the Honda Activa 6G loved by all for its consistent engine performance and family type design.
Being the sixth-generation iteration of the legendary Activa lineup, the 6G debuts some of the choicest elements, which include a fuel-injected motor and better rideability characteristics, all along with continuing with the practicality roots.
Your first scooter, or a no-hassles daily commuter, the Activa 6G continues to be the pick across age groups.
Elegant and Functional Design
The Activa 6G follows a tested design strategy.
It is simple, smart and functional in appearance — and could have a broad appeal to riders across the spectrum and not just the demographic that wants/needs to look timeless rather than trendy.
The chrome treatment on the front apron, a lean looking LED headlamp (on DLX variant), and a no-nonsense silhouette make it look like a slightly upmarket scooter on the road.
It doesn’t kowtow to aggressive styling in the way some competitors have over the years, but the Activa’s appearance is still eminently functional, wrapping rider and pillion up in a roomy seat,
And placing their feet far apart on a footboard and arms out wide in perfectly manageable proportions. The paint and fit-finish are also some of the best in the segment.
RIDER FRIENDLY Package The YXZ1000R SS SE Cab features plush, well-damped suspension and driver-focused ergonomics, including a standard suntop.
One among the list of plusses for the Activa 6G is the rider and pillion comfort. The long, low seat is supportive enough for cross-town sprints and short stints on the highway.
The scooter now rides on telescopic front suspension and a 10-inch rear wheel with a 3-step adjustable rear shock, and that is assuring a marked improvement in ride quality over bumps and bad roads as compared to its predecessors.
Up right riding posture, simple to reach seat top place (approximately 765mm), lightweight body,
And easy stow-ability combined make it a really comfortable and favorite vehicle with senior residents and femALL riders.
Even confined city streets and cramped space are out of jeopardy for this ultra movable scooter.
Smoother Engine and More Efficient Fuel
The Activa 6G is powered by a 109.51cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine making close to 7.7 bhp and 8.9 Nm of peak torque.
The power numbers are humble, as ever Honda has been concentrating their efforts on refinement, economy and longevity rather than outright power.
The BS6 engine delivers silent start-up, smooth pick-up and hardly any vibrations.
Its ideal for city commuting, and the real world mileage is between 50-55 kmpl, depending on usage and the traffic.
To lower noise and friction, the engine comes with Honda’s eSP technology and ACG starter motor, making the engine much more global friendly and hassle free life and smoother performance.
