The BS-VI Compliant Honda Activa 125 will go on-sale in India by the end of September-2019.

Honda Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) is an integration of the following :

  1. Unique Honda ACG Starter NEW : sparks the #AQuietRevolution on Indian roads. It starts the engine jolt free via the same AC generator used to generate electricity and charge the battery while riding. This eliminates the need for a conventional starter motor, thus there is no gear meshing noises.
  2. Two new mechanical features lead to engine start without applying much force : the first being efficient utlisation of decompression with slightly opened exhaust values (at the beginning of compression stroke) followed by the Swing Back feature which rotates the engine in a slightly opposite direction which allows the piston to take a ‘running start’, making it easier to start the engine with a small amount of power.
  3. The Honda ACG starter also ensures for comfortable frequent operation of Idling Stop System NEW : an another First for Honda models in India. The Idling Stop System automatically switches the engine off at traffic light and other brief stops, eliminating unnecessary fuel consumption and resulting in lesser emission. Engine can easily be re-started with simple twist of the throttle.
  4. Programmed Fuel Injection(PGM-FI) NEW : The name given by Honda to a proprietary digital electronic fuel injection system for internal combustion engines which injects the right amount of fuel in cylinder based on specific engine data, available since the early 1980s. Direct fuel injection into the combustion chamber through nozzle generates more refined power delivery, better response to cold start.
  5. Improvised tumble flow & compact combustion chamber : Honda developed the world’s first tumble flow technology through integrated die-casting process. It produces tumble flow by optimizing inlet port shape and using reverse flow phenomenon, without adding additional components leading to combustion improvisation together with compact combustion chamber.
  6. Friction Reduction : Offset Cylinder, light weight compact crankshaft & piston, reduce overall engine friction & weight impact.
  7. New digital analogue meter with Advanced Information NEW : It gets advanced with 3 New real time informatics like Range (displays distance one can travel with existing fuel in tank), Average (for overall fuel consumption display) & Real-time Fuel Efficiency for a rich riding experience.  The meter displays details like Total Trip, Clock, ECO Indicator and Service Due Indicator with an On-Board Diagnostic feature of Malfunction light NEW which alerts the rider in case of serious malfunctions in the vehicle needing immediate attention.
  8. Side Stand Indicator with Engine Inhibitor NEW : (a first in scooter segment) prevents engine start while the side stand is engaged enabling a convenient and carefree ride.
