Auto Start/Stop
The company has also added an auto start/stop system to the Honda Dio 125, which helps to increase fuel efficiency. This feature turns the scooter off automatically when you stop for a while (such as on a traffic signal), and immediately turns on when giving a slight throttle. This saves petrol and also has less load on the engine.
Tubeless Tyres
In Honda Dio 125, the company has given tubeless tyres, so that even if punctured, the journey is not immediately interrupted. It has a 12-inch wheel in the front and a 10-inch wheel in the rear, which gives a smooth and balanced ride experience. Whether the city is congested or a slightly worse route, the Dio 125 maintains stability with its tire setup.
Safety
Honda hasn’t compromised on safety either. The Dio 125 features a side-stand engine cut-off feature, which shuts off the engine when the side stand is down. Furthermore, the scooter won’t even start if the stand is engaged. This feature is extremely useful for those who forget to raise the stand in a hurry.
Bluetooth TFT Display
The Honda Dio 125 now features a Modern 4.2-inch Bluetooth-enabled TFT dash, which gives it a high-tech feel. On this display you can easily see information related to calls, music, and navigation. That is, while riding, you will not have to peek at the screen of your phone again and again, everything will be in front of you.
Performance
Honda Dio powers 125, the same 123.9cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that is also found in Activa 125. This engine generates power of 8.3hp and torque of 10.5Nm. The biggest feature of this engine is its smoothness and reliability. Whether driving in city traffic or traveling a long way, the Dio 125 always gives consistent performance.
