Speaking on the dispatch of the 2016 Honda Activa-i scooters, Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Senior Vice President - Sales and Marketing, HMSI said, "In line with our strategy to surprise our customers by adding freshness to our products regularly, the 2016 Activa-i is Honda's seventh new model of 2016. With this, we are confident of driving rapid scooterization of two-wheeler industry.

With the exception of the recently launched Navi, the Honda Activa-i is the smallest two-wheeler you can pick from the Japanese manufacturer and is targeted at young riders, quite opposite to bulkier full-sized Activa 3G. The entry-level scooter segment is full of options including the TVS Scooty Zest, Hero Pleasure, Suzuki Let's, among others and the minor update will help Honda keep its products relevant amidst competition.

The remainder of the year will see the bike maker roll out updates for more of its products, while a handful of new launches are also planned.
