About the Reviewer

Ridden for (If Owned)	5000-15000 km
Got mileage of	39 kmpl

Buying experience: not so good. Was compelled to go for honda, since my previous activa broke down after 10 years and engine opening cost stood at mighty rs 5000. They instead gave an option for 5000 discount as exchange offer, which itself is ridiculous. Riding: one man riding is back breaking especially on bad road. Suspension setup is non existent for single as the riding posture and non existing weigh on back directly transfers all bumps and vibrations to your back. Riding on high speed too transfer all little bumps to our body. These are not the case for pillion at back, since there’s no upward flip from behind on bumps. Low speed power is low , mid range is fine, upper mid range is good. Can cruise at 60-70 without any issue. Can overtake sufficiently on those speeds. Speed tops out at around 80, although vibration above 75 makes going beyond unsafe and difficult. Have had very bad throttle issue recently due to jamming of petrol filter ,even on regular service. Tank capacity: poor. Self start misses a lot. This might escalate with time. Service experience: not on par. If we leave it with them they will skip most maintenance and inner cleaning steps. Just surface job for customer appeasement. Obvious economy of scale issue. That’s what happen when they have so much sale and service numbers. Setting individual target for daily service mitigates the quality and forces the labor to skip major steps except where parts needs to be changed due to there previous carelessness. Looks: fine.

amazing experience with my active. bought it in 2021 and so far rode it for 30000+km. even. I travel on it from Noida to Solan Himachal Pradesh almost 350km 3 times. Mileage 30-35 max. After riding it for over 30k km engine is still smooth. Maximum speed I got 95 but now it doesn't accelerate over 85kmph

smooth scooter
1 week ago
Nitin
it looks good overall but its instrument cluster may be better. Service is good and efficient. It gives about 50-52 kmpl mileage in traffic, which is better in competition.it is so much smoother to ride. In this price segment if you want a smooth scooter then you can buy the Activa 125.

Good reliable scooter
2 weeks ago
Ankur Ghosh
Activa 125 is a good reliable scooter. The tyre that comes with the scooty is bad though, it will slip/skid at any moment which will be bad for your confidence. Suspension is hard/medium so back pain could be an issue. But the resell value of this scooty will be very good and the acceleration is very good.

Activa 125 Review

Gopalakrishnan
Sturdy Design. The basic variant with drum brakes meets the requirement. Riding comfort is also good. Insurance can be purchased separately to reduce the total cost. Overall a good scooter perfectly designed for Bangalore roads. The seat and petrol unlock feature should be improved in future variants.

Poor performance
3 weeks ago
Arpit Singh
If you are thinking of buying this Activa 125, understand these points, if you are a rough and tough rider this is not meant for you, shockers and engine performance are not good, the drum braking system is very poor, and after 2-3 years engine gives frequent problems. The built quality is also decent. Only good for the city not for long trips.

Active in India's Heart for decades - Activa
4 weeks ago
Smit Kumar
While scanning through options for our next 2-wheeler purchase after more than a decade, the 2-wheeler market for gearless scooters turned out to be a completely different market space. We had options from around 4 major players to choose from, but we zeroed in on Activa, AGAIN, after 14 14-year intervals. The choice was driven by service support, quality, trust, power, and comfort on offer. It has been more than 2 decades since 1st Activa rolled out but the latest one still makes you fall in love with the legacy.

I recently bought this and my experience says that it is worth for money because it provides the best performance, best mileage and it also provides the best comfort during riding. So, I suggest to buy this one. If you need the best performance, braking, mileage, and comfort then absolutely go for it, and at last I say it is worth for money.

I recently bought this and my experience says that it is worth for money because it provides the best performance, best mileage and it also provides the best comfort during riding. So, I suggest to buy this one. If you need the best performance, braking, mileage, and comfort then absolutely go for it, and at last I say it is worth for money.
