The Navi is quirky two-wheeler from Honda that has the mechanicals of a scooter and the looks of a motorcycle. Inspired by the Honda Grom, the Navi is targeted at the age group 18-25 and sits right above the Cliq in the companys product portfolio.
While the Navi might look like a motorcycle, it isnt one. It is powered by Hondas tried and trusted 110cc engine that powers the popular Activa. This engine capable of producing produces 8bhp of power and 9Nm of torque. The Navi features telescopic forks up front and a monoshock at the rear. Braking is taken care by drum brakes at both ends and is equipped with a combi-brake system which partially applies the front brake on the application of the rear brake. This reduces the overall braking distance thus improving braking efficiency.
The Navi has a ground clearance of 156mm and a seat height of 765mm. It has a kerb weight of 101kg and a fuel tank capacity of 3.8-litres. Honda offers the Navi with five paint schemes - red, white, black, green, orange and brown.
In the Indian two-wheeler market besides the Cliq in Hondas stable, the Navi doesnt face any direct competition.
Honda Navi
Honda launched the Cliq in India and is Honda's most affordable automatic scooter targeted towards the rural and semi-urban market. The Navi-based Cliq borrows mechanicals and styling bits from the Activa 4G as well. The scooter gets faux carbon-fibre finish on the plastic panels, but in different colours. It gets a handlebar like a motorcycle despite being an automatic scooter. The headlight and the indicators have been positioned in the front apron like the Honda Dio. The analogue instrumentation includes a speedometer, odometer, a fuel gauge and other indicators. The surrounding area of this instrumentation console also gets the same pseudo carbon fibre finish. Like some of the side body panels, the Cliq's exhaust unit also bears similarity with the one seen on the Honda Navi. Keeping in mind the utilitarian features, Honda has equipped the Cliq with an optional luggage rack. The wide footboard can accommodate some luggage, but the lack of hooks is a disappointment. Otherwise, storage space has been generously provided despite the compact dimensions. The 14-litre under-seat storage easily houses a half-faced helmet. It also gets a USB charging point. Then, another highlight is the scooters Ceat's block pattern tyres, offered as standard to take on the rough roads easily. The Honda Cliq comes powered by the same 109.19cc air-cooled engine, which does duty in the Honda Activa as well as the Honda Navi. This mill is capable of producing 8bhp of maximum power at 7,000rpm and 8.94Nm of peak torque at 5,500rpm. This powerplant comes coupled to a CVT gearbox. With a kerb weight of 102kg, the Honda Cliq weighs same as the Navi and is 6kg lighter than the Honda Activa 4G.
