• Activa 6G Tyres, Brakes and Features

  The Honda Activa 6G is based on an under-bone type frame. The scooter gets telescopic forks at the front and a 3-step adjustable spring-loaded hydraulic shock absorber at the rear. The Activa 6G has a great ride quality. Its ride quality is leaps and bounds better than the last-gen Activa 5G and that can be mostly attributed to the inclusion of telescopic front forks in this sixth-gen model. This gearless scooter rides on a 90/100 section 12-inch tyre at the front and a 90/100 section 10-inch tyre at the rear. The 12-inch front tyre helps this scooter to maintain a good grip even on rough terrains and additional stability while riding above 60 kmph on national highways.

  Talking about brakes, the Honda Activa 6G gets 130mm drum brakes at either end along with CBS or Combined Braking System as an additional safety aid. What it does is, when you press the rear brake, it even applies the front brake a bit automatically to stop the scooter in less time and in a much smaller distance. The Activa 6G gets loads of features too. It gets a LED headlamp with a LED DRL, a multi-function key slot, an integrated engine start/stop switch, an analogue instrument cluster, etc.

  

  Summary

  The Honda Activa 6G has good hardware bits and thanks to the addition of telescopic forks, its ride quality is much more sorted now. The Activa 6G packs in decent features too.
