New Honda Activa 125: What’s New?

The scooter’s aesthetic is enhanced with sophisticated contrasting brown seats and inner panels, along with six new colour options (Pearl Siren Blue, Pearl Deep Ground Gray, Pearl Igneous Black, Matt Axis Gray Metallic, Rebel Red Metallic, and Pearl Precious White). These updates give the scooter a distinctive flair that elevates the overall appeal. The headlight has been redesigned with a boxier shape and also gets chrome accents.
The new Activa 125 gets a number of improvements in terms of features, such as a 4.2-inch TFT display that offers a more contemporary and dynamic interface than the LCD display on the old model.

This engine produces 8.28bhp of maximum power and 10.5Nm of peak torque. Apart from this, an idle start-stop system has also been given. The engine updates are significant, but the rest of the design of the scooter has not changed much.
