The Honda Grazia is to the Dio what the Activa 125 is to the regular Activa. It occupies a space alongside the Activa 125 that caters to the younger generation. The focus of the scooter is on generating more excitement rather than focusing on practicality. As such, it gets aggressive styling with motoscooter looks, and a host of features like LED headlamps and a twin digital instrument cluster that also includes a feature we havent seen on a scooter since the Kinetic Blaze a tachometer!

The TVS Ntorq 125 is the firms first upmarket offering in the scooter segment. It pulls out all the stops to ensure that an Ntorq customer has the maximum bragging rights of them all.

The scooter is now available in two variants - drum and disc. The former features a 130mm drum brake at the front while the latter sports a 220mm disc brake. Both systems are equipped with SBS (Synchronised Braking System). It also gets a charging socket in the boot and a boot lamp, and an engine kill switch.

Aprilias SR125 scooter is an exact replica of its 150cc sibling, other than its SR125 sticker. The SR125 shares its engine with the Vespa LX125 producing 9.5bhp of maximum power and 8.2Nm of torque transferring power to the rear wheel via a CVT gearbox. The identical looks to the SR150 mean you get all the good and bad of its bigger sibling: the great twin-pod headlight and the 14-inch rims, and also the downmarket analogue instrument cluster which the SR150 is moving on from. The launch colour is a blue but we expect more colours to join the lineup at some point. Like the SR150, the SR125 is built on a tubular steel frame. A telescopic fork at the front and a single coil spring at the rear makes up for suspension duties while braking is done by a 220mm disc at the front and a 140mm drum at the rear. CBS is now an option worth Rs 2500, but will become standard by the time the new financial year rolls around. It retains the wide, sporty tyres of the SR150. The Aprilia SR125 will compete with the Vespa LX125, Honda Grazia and Suzuki Burgman Street
Aprilia is a brand that has a rich racing heritage, and the company is applying that to the SR150 it is a sporty scooter whose introductory pricing is not premium at all. A part of the Piaggio Group along with the Vespa brand, the Aprilia SR150 is targeted at the youth who have performance and style as top priorities. The SR 150 is equipped with a disc brake in the front and drum brake at the rear. ABS is an option for an extra Rs 8000, but will be standard by April. The scooter rides on metallic black alloy wheels. At the front is a standard telescopic suspension while the rear gets a single-side coil spring. The headlamps are integrated into the cowl of the fascia, but the indicators have been positioned on the handlebar. The Aprilia SR 150 is powered by a 150cc engine, which is derived from the Vespa S150. The 154 cc engine makes 11.4 bhp and 11.5Nm of torque. For the 2018 model year, the SR150 has got an optional part-digital instrument cluster that retains an analogue speedometer but switches everything else to a digital unit. Paired with a downloadable mobile phone app, the features include tracking of the vehicle, and locating it in a parking lot, among other things. There are new variants available for the SR150 as of 2018: theres black, blue, and the red/white combination that were familiar with. Additionally, there is the Race version which echoes Aprilias racing program designs with the decals. Finally, theres the Carbon, which is an all-black variant that has faux carbonfibre all over it, and no chrome. The Aprilia SR 150 is fully localised and is manufactured at the companys Baramati facility. It competes with the Vespa LX125, Honda Grazia, TVS Ntorq and Suzuki Burgman Street 125
The Activa 125 has finally got an upgrade to bring it a little upmarket. With the new feature set, it sits neatly in the Honda India scooter lineup between the Activa 5G and the Grazia. The new features include a part-digital display that debuted on the Activa 5G, in which only the speedometer is analog and the rest are digital. It also gets an LED headlamp, the four-in-one ignition key slot that unlocks the seat as well, and there is now the option of adding a 12V charging socket under the seat as a dealer accessory. The major change is a mechanical one the rear suspension is now preload adjustable. The engine is the same 124cc air-cooled single-cylinder motor that generates 8.5bhp and 10.5Nm. There are six colour schemes available, of which two are matte paints schemes. Three variants make up the Activa 125 range; the base model has steel wheels and drum brakes. The next variant has alloy wheels and drum brakes, and the top-spec variant has alloy wheels and a front disc brake. All three offer CBS linked brakes as standard. The Activa 125s biggest competitor is the Suzuki Access 125 they both project themselves as 125cc family scooters.
It may be the highest-selling two-wheeler in the Indian market, but Honda hasnt stopped the evolution of the Activa. The latest set of updates that make up the 5G are more than merely cosmetic. The front apron gets chrome accents, but the LED headlamp will draw your attention first. The top-spec Deluxe variant even gets a digital display below the analogue speedometer; it now shows the fuel gauge, odometer and trip meter and a clock in the digital part of the instrument cluster. The Activa 5G also gets the new ignition key slot from the Grazia, which has the provision for the seat release. At the heart of the Activa 5G is the same 109cc engine which delivers 8bhp and 8.8Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a CVT transmission. It still rides on the archaic trailing-link front suspension and a rear monoshock. The brake setup consists of drum units at both ends with a combi braking system being offered as standard. A disc brake is not offered, even as an option. The Activa 5G is available in eight paint schemes blue, white, red, silver, black, grey brown and yellow. It shares the market space with the TVS Jupiter, Hero Maestro Edge and the Yamaha Fascino.
