Honda Launches New Dio With Tubeless Tyres

The new Honda Dio is the first automatic scooter in India to be introduced with tubeless tyres making, ensuring better stability and braking efficiency for its already sporty stance

It’s by far the most awarded internationally styled ‘moto scooter’ in the country and probably the only bike that could have continued selling in heaps even without its new and refreshed styling and the addition of its eye-catching 3D Emblems.

With a 10cc boost of power on the 2012 model, the multi-award winning ‘moto scooter’ now generates 8.11 PS of power@7,500rpm and 8.66Nm of torque @5,500 rpm.

The New Dio is incidentally also the first automatic scooter in India to feature tubeless tyres, which along with its Combi-brake feature should ensure improved riding stability and braking efficiency.

Speaking of better efficiency figures, the new Dio as per ARAI certification is said to return 55kmpl (ARAI certified mileage of 66.7 kmpl), a 15% level up over the older model. A maintenance-free battery, viscous air filter and a spacious under-seat luggage box will continue to be value addition features for interested buyers of the new Honda Dio.

The new Honda Dio will go on sale later this month across all Honda Exclusive Authorized Dealerships (HEADs) and is priced at Rs 42,362 (Ex-Showroom, Delhi).
