Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has hiked prices of a few of its products in the Indian market. The Honda Activa 6G, Activa 125 and SP 125 have all received a price hike of Rs 552 on their ex-showroom prices. The reason for the increase in prices has not been specified, but it could be a planned and scheduled increase, or it could be to cut down losses due to the ongoing crisis.
Honda SP 125 Price Hike:
The Honda SP 125 now retails at a price of Rs 73,452 for the base variant with drum brakes and the top-spec variant with a front disc brake now retails at Rs 77,652 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Honda SP 125 was launched in India back in November 2019.
It made other products in the 125cc motorcycle segment feel rather old, thanks to its good looks and attractive graphics. It also features a segment-first digital instrument cluster which displays a plethora of information to the rider. Apart from the speedometer, odometer and fuel gauge, it displays real-time fuel efficiency, gear position indicator, eco indicator and service reminder.
The motorcycle is powered by an air-cooled, 125cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine with Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) technology. It puts out 10.5bhp and 10.3Nm. It also comes with an engine kill switch and headlamp pass switch which are both premium features in the segment.
Braking duties are handled by a drum brake at the rear and a drum brake up front in the base variant or a disc brake up front in the top-spec variant.
Honda Activa 6G Price Hike:
The Honda Activa is India’s best-selling scooter by a large margin. Over the years, several competitors tried to steal this title, but failed to do so. Well, earlier this year, Honda made the scooter better by launching the next-gen Activa.
