Honda Activa 5G

At the front, the Activa features an all-digital headlamp along with the LED position lamp, which was first introduced in the Grazia. It also gets chrome accents on the front panel, imparting a classy touch and a fresh look to the scooter. The premium 3D emblem on the side fits well with the overall style statement. The rear features an LED tail light and LED turn signal indicators along with silver painted grab rails. The top-spec model of the Activa 5G gets a digital-analogue instrument console that includes an analogue speedometer and digital readouts like odometer, tripmeter, fuel gauge, clock, service reminder and ECO indicator. The base-spec variant, on the other hand, comes with an all-analogue instrument console. Featuring an all-metal body, the Activa weighs 109kg which is 2kg more than the Honda Grazia which uses a plastic body.

The 4-in-1 ignition key slot cluster now comes with a boot release switch to open the seat without any hassles. Other features include Automatic Headlamp On (AHO), mobile charging socket, a front hook and a rear retractable hook. The underseat storage capacity of 18 litres is enough to fit in a helmet or other needful items.

Suspension duties on the Activa 5g are handled by spring loaded hydraulic units at both the ends. It comes fitted with 10-inch alloy wheels which are wrapped in tubeless tyres. Braking on the scooter is handled by 130mm drum brakes aided by Honda’s Combined Braking System (CBS) making it more effective. Interestingly, there’s no option of a disc brake in the latest Activa 5G.

Talking about safety, there's no option of a disc brake in the Activa 5G, however, both its variants feature Honda's Combined Braking System (CBS) which provides better and effective braking. CBS activates both the breaks simultaneously even when only the rear brake lever is pressed, thereby distributing the brake load. It prevents the scooter from skidding and comes in very handy when sudden brakes are applied. Also, the Activa 5G comes with Automatic Headlamp On (AHO) which increases the visibility of the vehicle. In terms of features, the top-spec model of the Activa 5G gets a digital-analogue instrument console and the digital display includes a tripmeter, odometer, fuel gauge, clock, service reminder and ECO indicator. Other features include 4-in-1 ignition with the seat-opening switch, a mobile charging port, a front hook and a rear retractable hook.
