Honda 2Wheelers India has launched the
premium scooter Honda Forza 300 in India at an undisclosed price. The company
claims that it has sold 4 units of the scooter and completed deliveries of the
said volume. It goes on to add that the 4 units were pre-booked by customers.
The company had earlier displayed the Honda Forza 300 at its Gurugram-based Big
Wing dealership.
For those new to the Honda Forza 300, it
is a tourer-centric automatic scooter. It is targeted largely at customers in
ASEAN nations and Europe. Powering the Honda Forza 300 is a 279 cc
liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, SOHC four-valve engine. This engine produces 25
PS of power and 27.2 Nm of torque. It is fitted with Honda Selectable Torque
Control helps in regaining rear-wheel traction by detecting the difference
between the front and rear wheel speeds.
The Honda Forza 300 features twin-pod
instrumentation with analogue speedometer and tachometer. Also present is a
digital LCD display which provides information like odometer (3 modes), range,
current mileage, trip meter, average mileage, clock, ambient temperature
thermometer, and a battery sensor. The versatility is increased further with an
on-the-fly electronically adjustable windscreen which has a range of 140 mm.
This is also the only scooter in India which is retailed with a smart key fob
and 15-inch aluminium alloy wheel (front).
The Japanese two-wheeler has not revealed
whether the Honda Forza 300 will be retailed in India via the CBU (completely
built unit) or CKD (completely knocked down) route. It, however, has confirmed
that the Euro-V compliant version of the Honda Forza 300 will be introduced in
India in the next financial year. This version won't be sold secretly and will
be available at select dealerships.
