Honda to Unveil Top-End Variant of Activa Range

Honda 2-Wheelers India is set to unveil a top-end variant of the Activa scooter range, the Honda Activa Smart. The RTO paperwork accessed by Zigwheels suggests that the new range-topping grade of the popular scooter will feature a higher 7.8 bhp motor power output, an H-Smart anti-theft system, and a lighter weight than the standard model. The documents also contain information on the potential inclusion of the technology in a future Honda Activa 6G variant. The new Activa variant will measure 1833 mm in length, 697 mm in width, and 1156 mm in height with a 1260 mm long wheelbase. Honda’s H-Smart anti-theft system for two-wheelers, previously trademarked, will be used in the new Honda Activa Smart. This system is similar to the Honda Ignition Security System (HISS) equipped on a few other Honda offerings. The price of the new Activa Smart could potentially be Rs 3,000 more than the standard trims. Reports suggest that the Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer is also developing a new reasonably priced 100cc bike that will go on sale in early 2023, as well as the Honda XRE 300 Adventure bike, which is already available in a few international markets.
