Honda Genio

Even if Honda Genio is an entry-level scooter, it comes with striking graphics that makes it stand out from the crowd. As far as basic features are concerned, this bike comes with a digital gauge, LED headlight, a power outlet, and a comfortable inner rack, which is spacious enough to store your personal belongings.

There is also a battery charger available so that you can charge your smartphones on-the-go while traveling to never miss out on any urgent calls. Honda's technical team equipped the 'Enhanced Smart Architecture Base'. The scooter is lighter and more robust in handling, thanks to the new frame. The frame holds 89 kg of curb weight, which is around  4kg less if compared to the Beat. Hence, Genio is now replacing it as the lightest scooter in the brand's lineup.

The ride quality offered by the Honda Genio is top-notch if compared to the competition as it comes equipped with a telescopic suspension setup at the front and a mono-shock unit at the rear, which does a great job in absorbing small bumps and offering a smooth ride quality. 

One of the best features of this scooter is the power to weight ratio, which helps in offering top-notch handling. The position of the handlebar is great, which aids in easy filtering inside the city. The scooter is very light and nimble, hence, beginners and ladies can also ride this scooter with ease. Also, the seating posture of the scooter is very upright, which further improves the ride quality.

The Genio comes equipped with a 110cc air-cooled PGM-FI engine, which is capable of churning out 8.89 hp of maximum power and 9.30 Nm of peak torque. Talking about efficiency, it has claimed a fuel economy of 59.1 kmpl. The power is sent to the rear wheels via a full transistorized CVT gearbox. 

The power figures might not look impressive on paper, but the real-world performance is very good and it offers a punchy performance inside the coyote, thanks to the less curb weight. It comes loaded with a 4.2 liters fuel tank, which is enough for city commutes considering the exceptional fuel economy on offer. A person can even take it for high rides of 100-150 km as the tank range is capable of that. Also, the engine does not feel stressed out if cruises at a contrast speed of 60 kmph.

In terms of braking, the Honda Genio offers much better braking performance if compared to the competition, thanks to the disc brakes at the front and drum units at the rear. The safety of the scooter is further enhanced by the feature ABS (Anti-lock braking system). This system prevents locking up the front wheel during sudden braking situations. 

It uniformly distributes the braking feedback. It also comes with a secure mechanism for the set opener, which allows you to keep important items inside the under-seat storage with peace of mind. It also comes with other safety features such as a brake lock, side stand sensor, and tubeless tires.
