Honda Activa 3G represents the pinnacle of the international automobile manufacturer’s attempts to capture the two-wheeler market, and the market has taken to it with enthusiasm. But how does it match up to its many rivals?

Design and Style
Honda has clearly spent considerable time and energy perfecting the design of this gearless scooter to make it appeal to the metropolitan driver, and the new 2015 Honda Activa 3G 110 shows some significant and welcome changes, with a fully revamped tubular underbone chassis. While not the most adventurous design you’ll see, it’s a bold effort with many positive features. The mudguard, new side panels, 3D Activa badges and front fairing are sleek and well designed, and all display the main body color. The mask of the bike features large headlamps and oblong turn indicators; and the rear-view mirror, which is black on all models, is also attached to the mask. The bike’s body is solid and sturdy, and weighs approximately 108kg, making it heavier than its rivals in the same class.

Instrument Console
The instrument panel on the Honda Activa is well-designed and clear, with large displays for the speedometer and fuel gauge. It also features low oil and low fuel indicators and an odometer, with clearly visible indicators that can be read at a glance.

Engine and Gearbox
The Honda Activa 3G 110 is, Honda claims, developed on its world-class and extensively tested engineering technology. It is powered by a 109cc dream mileage engine. It generates maximum power of 8 bhp at 7500 rpm and maximum torque of 8.83 nm at 5500 rpm. It boasts v-matic automatic transmission.
