BS-VI Compliant Honda Activa 125 PGM-FI Introduced

June 12, 2019 by Jim Gorde Leave a Comment

The new Honda Activa 125 is the first BS-VI compliant offering from Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI). To be priced about 10 per cent more than the BS-IV model it replaces, it boasts several new features including fuel injection, silent start, and idling start/stop. Although, Honda have not announced the price, expect something around Rs 68,000 and up (estimated, ex-showroom) when it is formally launched.

The new Honda Activa 125 takes the brand forward and on to their next chapter in India. With BS-VI regulations set for implementation on 1 April, 2020, manufacturers are getting busy with their portfolio of offerings. The first from HMSI is the new Activa 125. The changes start with Honda’s trademark PGM-FI fuel-injection system for maximum efficiency and fuel economy. Honda also promise a whisper-quiet start with the ACG starter motor, which incorporates the flywheel and the stator coil in one unit, leading to lower noise level. The idling start/stop will turn off the engine after the vehicle comes to a stop for more than three seconds, and restarts it when the throttle is opened. This will lead to further fuel savings. Honda also target a drop of 30 per cent in CO2 emissions by 2020.

The new Honda Activa 125 uses a 124.9-cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that, now with fuel-injection, makes 8.63 PS at 6,500 rpm and a peak torque of 10.54 Nm at 5,000 rpm. It now weighs in at 108 kg. It also gets the popular HET and also ESP, or Enhanced Smart Power – not the electronic stability program – with the ACG starter, PGM-FI and further friction reduction. Tumble-flow from the reshaped inlet ports enhances combustion performance. With the FI system and catalyst set-up, the emissions of CO (carbon monoxide), HC (unburned hydrocarbons) and NOx (oxides of nitrogen) have seen a significant drop. Fuel efficiency has also seen a boost, while power delivery will be more linear with a further improved bottom- and mid-range.

Honda have also introduced a more advanced console that incorporates a real-time efficiency indicator, average fuel efficiency as well as range. The company is also offering a warranty of 3+3 years to complement the BS-VI compliance with the slogan “Power of 6”. The Activa 125 is available in six colours: Rebel Red Metallic, Black, Heavy Grey Metallic, Midnight Blue Metallic, Majestic Brown Metallic and Pearl Precious White.

The 2019 Honda Activa 125 BS-VI model has been launched in three variants – Standard, Alloy, and Deluxe. Prices start at Rs. 67,490 ex-showroom for the Standard variant.

In recent years, however, the MT-10 has begun to show its age, especially in terms of technology and rider aids. It was always on the thirsty side, too, and, by modern standards, the brakes were lacking. It was time for an update, which is why for 2022 Yamaha introduced a new MT-10 earlier this year.
