Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has created a stir among two-wheeler enthusiasts with the release of captivating teaser videos showcasing their upcoming product.
A close inspection of the scooter reveals striking similarities between the headlamp and body panels of the teaser model and the current Honda Dio. However, Honda has recently introduced the H-Smart version of the Dio, suggesting that this upcoming scooter may offer a fresh and distinct experience.
With the resounding success of sporty 125cc scooters like the TVS Ntorq 125 and the Suzuki Avenis, Honda seems keen on claiming its share of this lucrative market segment. The Dio has always been positioned as Honda’s fun and youthful offering, and expanding it to a 125cc variant could be a winning move for the brand.
Honda currently offers two 125cc scooters, namely the Activa 125 and the Grazia. Both models are equipped with the same 124cc engine, delivering approximately 8.2hp and 10.4Nm of torque. However, these power figures fall slightly behind those of the TVS Ntorq. It remains to be seen whether Honda will extract more power from the engine to enhance the performance of its upcoming scooter.
The second teaser released by Honda includes an intriguing soundtrack that unveils some notable features. The audio clearly captures the presence of a silent start system, followed by a deeper exhaust note that deviates from the typical sound associated with Honda scooters. The distinct whine of a CVT transmission is also audible, confirming that the teased product will indeed be an automatic scooter.
Enthusiasts and prospective buyers eagerly await the official unveiling of this sporty 125cc scooter from Honda. With unique features and a reputation for quality and reliability, Honda aims to make a splash in the competitive two-wheeler market. Stay tuned for more updates as Honda reveals further details about this highly anticipated release.
