HONDA DIO OVERVIEW & PRICE
The Honda Dio gets a 109.51cc BS6 engine, which develops a power of 7.65 bhp and a torque of 9 Nm. With both front and rear drum brakes, the Honda Dio has a combined braking system on both ends. This Dio scooter weighs 105 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 5.3 liters. Honda has introduced the new Dio in two variants- standard and deluxe. It has given it many updates to set it apart from the previous version.
Firstly, the sporty styling of the scooter has become edgier now with a redesigned headlamp, position lamp, and tail lamp with sharper contours across its bodywork. It is adorned with funkier graphics and a split grab rail at the rear. The new Dio also features an ACG silent starter, side stand engine inhibitor, external fuel filler cap, dual-function switch integrating seat and fuel lid opener, front pocket, and a new DC LED headlamp. Interestingly, it also retains the fully digital instrument cluster with more information about fuel range, average, and real-time fuel efficiency.
Now, making it compliant with the new BS6 emissions norms is a reworked 109.19cc engine, which gets Honda’s programmed fuel injection in place of the previous carbureted set-up. Coming to the cycle parts, the 10-inch wheel and trailing-link suspension of the outgoing model have made way for a 12-inch wheel with a telescopic fork. Braking is handled by drum brakes at both ends, assisted by a combined braking system. To give it more stability, Honda has also marginally increased the wheelbase of the Dio.
Honda offers four color options: blue, red, orange, and grey. Apart from these colors, buyers can also opt for the new Repsol edition, which sports bold graphics inspired by Honda’s Repsol racing bikes. The current ex-showroom Honda Dio price is ₹ 70,211.
