Activa 6G has the best-in-class ground clearance of 171 mm
Verdict – The Activa in its new avatar has got a lot of changes. While some of these changes are better and useful, some of the hardware has been taken away due to cost-cutting. The 6G is available in 2 variants – Standard and Deluxe. While the test scooter was the Deluxe model, the Standard variant only misses out on an LED headlight. The Activa 6G is no longer the cheapest scooter too, demanding quite a bargain for just a workhorse! But if someone still wants to get an Activa with all the tech, the Activa 125 comes at a premium and it does make a lot more sense over the 6G.

The new rear does look just like the Activa 125
What’s Cool
* Reliable scooter with a very good build quality
* BS6 FI engine returns brilliant fuel economy
* Ride quality is plush with decent riding dynamics
What’s Not So Cool
* It isn’t the cheapest 110cc scooter
* Multiple variants don’t offer any good hardware
* Disc brakes should have been offered at least as an option
