Honda Dio vs Hero Maestro Edge 125 Comparison

The Honda Dio is the most exported scooter from Honda to other markets. It is a stylish 110 cc that serves as a nice alternative to the Activa. The Dio lacks features and has an average build quality. But it makes up in the styling department, with fancy colours, cool graphics and sporty performance. The Dio could be the ideal scooter for college-goers and young professionals. The ownership cost is very close to that of the Honda Activa.

The Hero Maestro Edge 125 gets a competitive entry price starting from ₹ 58,500 for the drum brake version, but the FI model is priced at a steep ₹ 62,700 (all prices, ex-showroom Delhi). For the money, it manages to tick all the right boxes in terms of offering the essentials in a 125 cc model. It’s not outrightly sporty and it isn’t commuter-ish either, it sits in a sweet spot right in the middle where it’s exciting enough for a new user but commuter enough for day to day responsibilities.
