The Honda Navi CBS variant has been launched in
India at INR 47,110 (ex-showroom Delhi), which is a hike of INR 1,796 over the
non-CBS model. The Honda Navi features the same CBS unit that is available on the
Activa. In layman's speak a CBS (combined braking system) unit partially
applies the front brake, when only the rear brake is engaged, effectively
reducing the stopping distance.
Apart from the addition of CBS, the Honda Navi
continues unchanged. In August last year, Honda had announced that it had sold
over 1 lakh units of the Navi in India since its launch at the Auto Expo 2016.
The Navi is the only two-wheeler from Honda to be designed, developed and
manufactured at the Honda R&D facility in India.
The Honda Navi is exported to 12 countries across
the globe. It is available in six colour scheme - Shasta White, Ranger Green,
Black, Ladakh Brown, Patriot Red, and Sparky Orange. The moto-scooter is
offered with various customisation options as well.
The Honda Navi is powered by a 110cc single-cylinder
motor that does duty on most of the Honda scooters. The engine develops at 8
bhp of power at 7,000 rpm and 8.96 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 rpm. The V-Matic
CVT gearbox feeds control to the wheel.
The Navi uses telescopic front forks and a hydraulic
mono-shock at the rear. Anchorage is provided by drum brakes at both the ends.
