Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Launches Dio 125cc At Rs. 83,400

Taking forward its moto-scooter DNA, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has launched the all-new, sporty and advanced Dio 125 in India.

The Dio 125 boasts a sporty front design with edgy headlamp & a sleek position lamp. The dual outlet muffler with chrome cover adds to the sporty DNA and produces a sporty exhaust note. Modern tail lamp with new split grab rail, wave disk brake along with alloy wheels, fresh new graphics and bold new logo further accentuate the sporty character of the moto-scooter.

The OBD2 compliant Dio 125 is packed with Honda’s 125cc PGM-FI engine boosted by Honda Enhanced Smart Power (eSP). A performance accelerator to the engine, Honda Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) technology optimises energy output by maximising efficient combustion and minimising friction with a silent start & a smooth eco-friendly engine.

The fully digital meter provides 3 real-time informatics - Range (displays distance one can travel with existing fuel in the tank), Average Fuel Efficiency (for overall fuel efficiency display) & Real-time Fuel Efficiency. The meter displays details like Trip, Clock, Side Stand indicator, Smart key & battery indicator, ECO indicator and Service Due indicator with a malfunction light which alerts the rider in case of serious malfunctions in the vehicle which need immediate attention.

The Dio 125 comes with Idling Stop System that automatically switches the engine off at the traffic light and other brief stops, eliminating unnecessary fuel consumption and resulting in lesser emission. Engine can be re-started with a twist of the throttle. Side Stand with Engine Inhibitor prevents engine start while the side stand is engaged.

The new Dio 125 also gets Combi-Brake System (CBS) with equalizer and 3-step adjustable rear suspension. It also comes equipped with a dual function switch for unlocking the seat & opening the external fuel lid. The moto-scooter gets Telescopic Suspension with a 12-inch front wheel with a ground clearance of 171 mm along with 18L of storage space.

The H-Smart variant comes with a Lock Mod which facilitates 5 in 1 function (lock handle, ignition OFF, fuel lid open, seat open & ignition ON) without the need to insert a physical key. Furthermore, the new Dio 12cc comes with Honda Smart Key.

HMSI is offering a special 10-year warranty package (3 years standard + 7 years optional extended warranty) on the all-new Dio 125. 

Speaking on the launch, Tsutsumu Otani, Managing Director & President & CEO at Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “With the launch of, Honda Dio in 2002, HMSI introduced India with the concept of moto-scooter. Its dynamic and aggressive motorcycle-inspired appearance combined with the convenience of a scooter soon made it one of the most liked scooters in the country. In its all-new 125cc avatar, the Honda Dio 125 has been specially designed and developed to fulfill the aspirations of young Indian customers.”
