Players in the two-wheeler market in India are investing heavily in the scooter segment these days as the demand is pretty high. Honda Scooter and Motorcycle India has performing exceptionally well in this segment with the Activa model ruling the market. However, the customer base is really huge in India and there is always a scope for the entry of a new model, which is why Mahindra Gusto, launched not so long ago, has been doing really well and competing with Honda Activa.
Honda Activa is one of the best-selling and most popular two-wheelers in the history of the Indian market and the success is completely justified. Starting from its appearance that is simple yet appealing, Activa manages to strike an instant chord with customers. The clic mechanism, viscous air filter, key shutter, high storage space and combi brake are some of the highlights of Honda Activa. However, its rideability and engine form the USP of Activa. A smooth two-wheeler to ride, the Activa is powered by a 109.2 cc engine capable of producing an output of 8 BHP and maximum torque of 8.74 Nm. The mileage of Honda Activa is a colossal 60 kmpl, which is exceptionally good and makes it a worth buying model.
The high benchmark set by Honda Activa is tough to beat but Mahindra Gusto makes a tough fist of it. An extremely stylish scooter, the Gusto features an Italian-style design that makes it look highly attractive. In order to compete with Honda Activa, Mahindra Two Wheelers has gone the fancy way and included a large number of features in Gusto, such as height-adjustable seat, remote flip key, find-me lamps, guide lamp, easy front kick and quick storage. Like the Activa, this scooter is powered by a 109.6 cc engine that delivers a power of 8 BHP and top torque of 9 Nm. The mileage of Gusto is pretty good as well, making it a great alternative to Honda Activa.
