TORRANCE, Calif., November 22, 2021: American Honda confirmed today that the Navi miniMOTO will be offered in the U.S. market for the 2022 model year. Small, accessible, enjoyable, and priced extremely competitively, the Navi appeals to a wide range of customers, especially those just learning to ride. The model has a fuel-efficient, user-friendly 110cc engine and an automatic transmission – so no shift lever or clutch lever.

The look is sporty and fun, and the seat has a low, 30.1-inch height, so most riders can touch the ground with both feet. The combination is a bike that’s nimble for navigating city traffic, easy to carry on an RV bumper rack, and lightweight to simplify maneuvering into tight parking spots. There’s even a storage bin for stowing a jacket, snack, or textbooks. Already very popular in some markets, the Navi is now available in the United States.

“From the original Cub to the Grom, Honda has a proud legacy of producing miniMOTO models that open doors to new riders, and the Navi is set to extend that trend even further,” said Brandon Wilson, Sports & Experiential Manager at American Honda. “This miniMOTO checks all the boxes for new riders, like a simple operation, a fun design, low operating costs, and Honda reliability – all for well under $2,000. We’re pleased to make motorcycling possible for more riders by offering the Navi in the U.S.”

The Navi will be on display at this weekend’s IMS Outdoors motorcycle show in Costa Mesa, California, where it will also be among the models included in the Motorcycle Industry Council’s Ride With Us Moto Intro experience, giving new riders an opportunity to try motorcycling.

NAVI

Somewhat of a mix between Honda’s Ruckus and Grom (each of which is popular enough to have developed its own subculture), the Navi has the styling of a motorcycle and some convenience features of a scooter, including Honda’s V-Matic automatic transmission – just twist the throttle to go! It’s all wrapped up in an appealing miniMOTO package that’s fun and easy to personalize, for example with Honda Accessory graphics produced in collaboration with Icon.

The Navi also has an amazingly low MSRP and gas-sipping performance, putting it within reach of almost any customer. With Honda’s proven quality and reliability, it’s also a dependable way to get around town – far more convenient than public transportation or carpooling. There’s never been a better way for new riders to discover just how enjoyable, convenient and practical motorcycling can be.

MSRP: $1,807

Colors: Red; Grasshopper Green; Nut Brown; Ranger Green

Availability: January 2022 (February in California)

All new Livo BSVI brings future technology to the present, bringing India at par with the global standards – the Sophisticated, Precise &Sensitive – Enhanced Smart Power (eSP).

Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) is an integration of the following:

1. Unique Honda ACG starter sparks #AQuietRevolution on Indian roads as it starts engine jolt free via the same AC generator used to generate current and charge the battery while riding. This eliminates the need for a conventional starter motor, thus, there are no gear meshing noises.

Two mechanical features lead to engine start with less effort – the first being efficient utilization of decompression with slightly opened exhaust valves (at the beginning of compression stroke) and Swing Back^NEW feature which rotates the engine in a slightly opposite direction, which allows the piston to take a ‘running start’, making it easier to start the engine with a small amount of power.

1. Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI): The system uses sensors to constantly inject optimum
   fuel and air mixture which aids consistent power output, high fuel efficiency & less emissions.
2. Friction reduction: The offset cylinder and use of roller rocker arm with needle bearing further reduces the frictional loss which not only helps in smooth and better power output, but also improves fuel efficiency. The piston cooling jet improves cooling efficiency & maintains optimum engine temperature further adding to fuel efficiency and performance.

HET Tubeless Tyre: Livo BSVI comes fitted with rear HET Tyre (Low Rolling Resistance tyre). Developed with a new tyre compound technology, it reduces energy loss while maintaining optimum grip leading to improved fuel efficiency.

Comfort & Convenience

DC headlamp^NEW: Bright & constant DC headlamp makes riding over rough roads & low speeds during night more convenient.

Integrated engine start/stop switch^NEW: Adding more convenience to the riding isan integrated engine start/stop switch. The two-way functioning switch can be used to start the engine when pressed downwards and acts as an engine kill switch when pressed upward.

Integrated headlamp beam & passing switch^NEW:It provides the convenience of controlling high beam/low beam & passing signal with a flick of a finger.

 Service due indicator: Reminds you when to get the vehicle serviced without even depending on someone. The blinking indicates the vehicle has reached the specified distance for service while continuous glow signifies that vehicle has crossed the specified distance for service.

 The 5 steps adjustable rear suspension can be adjusted as per road conditions for a smoother ride. A longer comfortable seat (+17mm) with smooth integration with the fuel tank provides ample space for comfortable long-distance travel. It also comes with seal chain which needs less frequent adjustments and low maintenance. Making every ride on new Livo BSVI comfortable and convenient is the Combi-Brake System (CBS) with equalizer.

Urban Style

Honda Livo leaves a long-lasting impression with its new and refreshed urban style. Chiseled tank shrouds, modern front visor and bold fuel tank design give it a stronger and sporty character.

Striking graphics add an appeal of premiumness to new Livo BSVI while new refreshed digital analogue meter leaves a lasting style impression.

• Unique Honda ACG Starter sparks #AQuietRevolution on Indian roads as it starts engine jolt free via the same AC generator used to generate current and charge the battery while riding. This eliminates the need for a conventional starter motor, thus, there are no gear meshing noises.
• Two mechanical features lead to engine start with less effort – the first being efficient utilization of decompression with slightly opened exhaust valves (at the beginning of compression stroke) and Swing Back^NEW feature which rotates the engine in a slightly opposite direction, which allows the piston to take a ‘running start’, making it easier to start the engine with a small amount of power.
• Improvised tumble flow: Honda developed the world’s first tumble flow technology through integrated die-casting process. It produces tumble flow by optimizing inlet port shape and using reverse flow phenomenon, without adding additional components leading to combustion improvisation.
• Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)^NEW: It injects the right amount of fuel in cylinder based on specific engine data and constant feedback from the 6 intelligent sensors (Engine oil temperature sensor, Engine Speed sensor, Oxygen sensor, Air pressure sensor, Air temperature sensor, Throttle Position Sensor) resulting in smooth and linear power output throughout.
• Friction Reduction: Offset cylinder, compact weight crankshaft & piston reduce overall engine friction. Optimized weight results in improved fuel efficiency. The piston cooling jet improves cooling efficiency & maintains optimum engine temperature leading to improved fuel efficiency.

The all new Grazia 125 comes with Idling Stop System^NEW**that automatically switches the engine off at the traffic light and other brief stops, eliminating unnecessary fuel consumption and resulting in lesser emission. Engine can easily be re-started with a simple twist of the throttle.

Stunning Comfort& convenience

With constant illumination of LED DC headlamp^NEWriding over rough roads & low speeds during night becomes more convenient.

It also comes equipped with a unique ^NEWmulti-function switch that adds extra level of comfort. Use it to unlock the seat & open external fuel lid with a single switch.

The unique two-way functioning integrated engine start/stop switch^NEW* can be used to start the engine when pressed downwards and acts as an engine kill switch when pressed upward.

Integrated headlamp beam & passing switch^NEWprovides the convenience of controlling high beam/low beam & passing signal with a flick of a finger.

Side Stand indicator with engine-cut Offprevents engine start while the side stand is engaged enabling a convenient and carefree ride

^NEWIntelligent Instrument Display: Fully Digital meter gets new intelligent instrument clusters that display advanced informatics like distance to empty (displays distance one can travel with existing fuel in tank), average fuel efficiency (for overall fuel efficiency display) & real-time fuel efficiency for a rich riding experience.  The meter displays details like 3-step ECO indicator, clock, service due indicator and other mileage related information.

 The 3-step adjustable rear suspension allows rider to choose his riding preferences in three stages as per his comfort and road condition.

Telescopic Suspension with increased ground clearance (+16mm)makes every ride on all new Grazia BSVI more comfortable.

Re-designed under seat storage and bigger premium quality front glove box allows more practical storage space.

Grazia 125 comes equipped with Combi Brake System (CBS) with Equalizer technology. The unique equalizer in Honda’s advanced Combi Brake System (CBS) distributes braking force proportionately between front and rear wheels simultaneously by pressing just the left lever resulting in reduced braking distance & improved balance compared to conventional braking.

Stunning Style

The ^NEWsplit LED position lamp gives the all new Grazia 125 a more aggressive look. Newchiseled tail lamp, jet inspired rear winkers and split grab rail portray a modern edgy image.

The 3D logo emblem on side panel & the matchless Honda badging on the floor panel give Grazia 125a personality which is beyond the imagination of ordinary. The premium black alloy wheels** elevate the overall classy design of the all new Grazia 125.
