Honda Activa 125
Honda Activa 125 is a bigger engine version of the popular Activa scooter. The 125cc engine offers more power & punch to those who want a fast scooter for city riding. While it shares its name with the Activa, its design is different and big, thus giving it a big scooter appeal. It is available in multiple variants that offer the latest features like remote unlock, & safe find. Honda also offers safety features like disc brakes on the Activa 125.
Expert Verdict on Activa 125
The Honda Activa 125 is one of the best-selling scooters in its segment. Honda’s reliable engine performance, good fuel efficiency, & safe handling are delightful for city riding. Also, the disc brake version has good braking power. But, the H-Smart variant is overpriced while the drum brake versions offer less braking power. We say it is the best value-for-money family scooter in its segment.
ExpertPros & Cons of Honda Activa 125
Should I buy the Activa 125?
The Honda Activa 125 is based on the smaller Activa scooter. Carrying forward its name, it offers a bigger engine, more power, & a new design. Also, the top variant of the Activa 125 comes equipped with smart keyless features that none of the rivals offer. Its engine is reliable and performance-packed as well. We recommend you buy it if you want a scooter that offers you more performance than the regular Activa. Also, the connected features help you in day-to-day rides.
- The Activa 125 offers very good riding posture for city commutes. The combo of seat height & the handlebar position makes it an easy scooter to sit & ride. Also, the flat footboard offers a decent amount of leg space to the rider. We also love the position of the rearview mirrors which show a good view of the background. Overall, the ergonomics of Activa 125 are sorted & easy.
- The seat cushioning on it is also well done. The scooter feels comfortable even after riding for long durations. Thanks to the wide seat, the rider & pillion can easily sit and potter inside the city all day long. For the pillion, the footrests are rightly positioned, meaning that pillion of any age & size can find a comfortable sitting position easily.
- The ride quality of the Acitva 125 is on the softer side. The suspension is tuned for city use and it feels confident on broken roads. But if you want to ride it enthusiastically, the suspension feels less engaging. Also, the 12-inch front tyre helps in increasing comfort on the bad roads.
- The BS6 124cc engine of Activa 125 is a decent performer. It is tuned for family use and hence it is not a very fast scooter. But, you’ll not complain either. It has an ample amount of power in a low rev range and overtaking the city traffic is easy. But, if you’re riding it enthusiastically, you’ll not be thrilled. Also, on the open roads, you need to plan the overtakes. The ACG starter helps in saving fuel as well and makes the scooter smooth. The overall engine performance of the Activa 125 is very smooth & comfortable.
- The base version comes with drum brakes which feel insufficient. But, the DLX variants come with a big disc brake at the front. With the Combined Braking System (CBS), the Disc brake version offers better braking power. We recommend buying the Disc variants. Also, the braking on the base variants could’ve been better.
- The ARAI-claimed fuel economy of the Activa 125 is upwards of 50 kmpl. In our testing, we found that this figure is true. The Activa 125 can easily return more than 50 kmpl if driven sedately. Also, the users on our website report that this scooter gives 45-50 kmpl (on average).
- The design of Activa 125 is derived from the smaller Activa. It looks a bit similar to the 110cc Activa. But, the bigger side panels, a new front design with a different headlight, & black-chrome contrast highlights make it look different on the road. The design of it is smart & handsome. If you buy it, you’ll not get bored of its design or looks even after years.
- Feature-wise, the Acitva 125 comes equipped with an LED headlight, a semi-digital speedometer with LCD, a 12-inch front alloy wheel, & H-Smart connected features. It doesn’t have the Bluetooth smartphone connectivity that rivals like the TVS Jupiter 125 offer. The Activa 125 is moderately equipped with features that are useful to a family scooter buyer.
- If you want more technology, the Activa 125 also comes with a H-Smart variant. It offers tech like keyless unlock, safe find, & smart start. The user can start the scooter by rotating the key fob. Also, you can find the scooter in a dense parking lot with the key. One can also unlock the scooter, fuel lid, & boot from a distance without using the key.

Honda Activa 125 Variants Comparisons
Variant Recommendation
Honda offers the Activa 125 in 4 different versions - Drum, Drum with Alloy, Disc, & H-Smart. The base versions are cheap to buy but the drum brakes are not good at stopping the scooter in case of an emergency. Also, the H-Smart variant offers keyless features which are helpful but this variant is costly. We recommend you buy the Disc variant as it offers you the safety of disc brakes as well as a budget-friendly option in the 125cc scooter segment.

HondaActiva 125₹ 79,806 - ₹ 88,979Read MoreThe Suzuki Access 125 is another major rival of the Activa 125. Access is well-known for its powerful performance and good ride & handling. Also, it now has the option of connected features in its top variant. The build quality of the Access 125 is similar to the Activa 125. However, the braking of the Access 125 is not as good as the Activa 125 because of the smaller front disc size. Also, the reported fuel economy from users of the Access 125 is less than the Activa 125. Out of the two, we recommend you opt for the Activa 125 if you need a fuel-efficient scooter. But, if you want better performance and a fun-to-ride scooter; buy the Access 125.

HondaActiva 125₹ 79,806 - ₹ 88,979Read MoreThe Activa 125 competes with the TVS Jupiter 125. Both scooters have good brand value as well as good resale. In terms of quality, the TVS Jupiter 125 feels solidly built. Also, the power figures are identical for both scooters. However, it has been reported that the reliability of the Activa 125 could be better than the Jupiter 125. But, the aggressive throttle response of the Jupiter with its comfortable ride feels above the Activa 125. We recommend the Activa 125 as it has a decent amount of power, features, & fuel economy. Out of the two, Honda is more reliable in the long term.
