New Generation Honda Activa 110cc Might Launch This Year

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Ltd (HMSI), the country's second largest two wheeler maker, is planning to launch a couple of new scooters in India this year. Of all the scooters that the company will launch this year, the new-generation Activa 110cc is the most awaited one since it is the country's most popular scooter. The company has, in fact, already tested the scooter in Japan and has imported it to India for further R&D and homologation.

Codenamed ON2Y, the new-gen Active is likely to get both cosmetic and mechanical upgrades, though the engine might remain the same. The 2015 model will get a new suspension with telescopic forks at the front instead of spring loaded hydraulic shock absorbers. The new Activa might also the Activa 125-inspired design and more advanced features.

As mentioned before, the Activa might retain the same old 109.22cc air-cooled engine that is good for 8bhp and 8.4Nm. With Honda Eco Technology (HET), the scooter is claimed to deliver an impressive 60km/l of mileage.

Other than the new Activa, Honda will also launch two more scooters - the Lead 125 and the PCX 150 - in India this year.
