Honda Activa 4G

In terms of design, not much has changed in the Activa when compared to the first model that was launched back in the year 2000. The scooter in its fourth generation gets slight revisions to the front apron and earns a 4G badge at the rear side panels.

The overall design of the Honda Activa 4G looks quite mature but due to no significant changes to it since last 17 years, it also comes across as a bit outdated.

The Honda Activa 4G now gets a USB charging provision to offer convenience to the rider. The scooter also offers the benefits of Combi Braking System (CBS). Under this mechanism, both brakes are applied automatically with the pressing of rear brake lever only, resulting in lesser chances of skidding.

The Honda Activa 4G has been fitted with a 5.3litre fuel tank and has a total kerb weight of 108kg. The scooter has overall body dimensions of 1761mm x 710mm x 1149mm (LxBxH) and has respective wheelbase and minimum ground clearance of 1238mm and 153mm.

The Honda Activa 4G gets its power from a 109cc, single cylinder, air-cooled engine that has been linked to an automatic gearbox. The engine retains its refined nature and smoothness in the latest iteration of the Activa as well and churns out respective power and torque figures of 8bhp and 9Nm.

The engine is now BS-IV compliant and is mated to the company’s HET (Honda Eco Technology) for a better fuel economy. With this set up, the Activa 4G can hit a top speed of 83kmph and returns a claimed fuel economy of 60kmpl.

The Honda Activa 4G comes fitted with 130mm drum brakes that have been fitted at both ends. These further come linked to the company’s patented Combi Braking System (CBS) to minimize chances of skidding.

The suspension system of the Honda Activa 4G comprises of bottom link type absorbers along with hydraulic shock absorbers for the rear. The scooter rides on 90/100-10 tubeless tyres that offer convenience in case of a puncture. The scooter is quite easy to ride and handles well, thereby offering convenience even in tight city traffic.

The Honda Activa 4G comes with Combi Braking System (CBS). Under this, both brakes get applied automatically while pressing the rear brake lever only. This is done to minimise the chances of skidding and deliver an effective braking. Also, the scooter comes with Automatic Headlamp ON (AHO) feature and as the name suggests, the headlight of the vehicle stays always ON no matter it is day or night. This is done to increase the visibility of the two-wheeler and reduce the chances of an accident.
