Honda Aviator

The Aviator has been one of the longest standing scooters in the country from the stables of Honda. The Japanese auto major hasupdated the scooter for 2018 with minor aesthetic and practical features. It now gets an LED headlamp with ‘Aviator’ signature inside the housing. There’s also a metal exhaust heat shield, an apron-mounted hook at the front and a retractable hook below the seat. Other than these changes, the scooter is essentially the same as its predecessor. There’s a new colour Pearl Spartan Red colour scheme available. With this, the total colour variants stand at four, with the existing ones being Pearl Igneous Black, Matte Selene Silver Metallic and Pearl Amazing White.

Power for the 2018 Honda Aviator comes from the same engine as the earlier gen model. Working in conjunction with a CVT unit, the 109.19cc single cylinder engine is good for 8.03PS at 7000rpm and 8.94Nm at 5500rpm. Being a premium scooter, Honda has chosen to offer telescopic forks for this one, and a single hydraulic shock absorber at the rear. There’s a 12-inch front and a 10-inch rear alloy wheels shod with 90-section tubeless tyres on both ends. Brakes include 130mm drum both front and rear, with CBS. For better braking performance, Honda offers a 190mm front disc too.
