All-New Honda Activa BS-VI Launch Details Revealed

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) is expected to launch an all-new, updated Honda Activa which will be ready to meet the Bharat Stage VI (BS6) emission regulations that come into place from April 2020. Honda has sent out an invitation for a new two-wheeler launch on June 12, 2019. While the invite doesn't explicitly state that it is indeed the updated Honda Activa, we have reason to believe that the first BS-VI two-wheeler in the country will indeed be the largest selling two-wheeler as well - the Honda Activa scooter.

Honda has sent out an invitation for the first BS-VI ready two-wheeler launch

The new, sixth-generation Honda Activa is expected to be the first scooter to meet the new BS-VI emission regulations and is expected to be powered by an updated 110 cc, fuel-injected engine. A completely new design language and features are expected on the new model, along with Honda's combi-brake system, as well as a choice of both drum and disc brakes.

We expect the new Honda Activa to be built on a completely new platform with a new frame, and finally get telescopic front suspension with tubeless wheels, and an all-new digital instrument panel. The new Activa is also likely to get state-of-the-art features, including all-LED lighting, and a full-digital instrument panel offering smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation.

The Honda Activa is the largest selling two-wheeler in India, selling over 30 lakh units over the past two financial year periods. In FY 2018-19 (April 2018-March 2019), the Honda Activa sold a total of 30,08,334 units, although sales were down 4.6 per cent from FY 2018's sales of 31,54,030 units.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
