Honda introduces new-age scooter CLIQ

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has once again unveiled something very unique, now in the form of CLIQ — a 110 cc offering specially developed to maximise utility with additional value of comfort and convenience for utilitarian customers — vailable in four colours priced at Rs. 42,499 (Ex-Showroom, Delhi)

Reiterating Honda’s next big step on taking scooterisation beyond metros, HMSI President and CEO Minoru Kato said, “Six out of 10 two-wheelers sold in India belong to 100-110 cc segment. Within this segment, automatic scooters have witnessed tremendous growth and now count for almost half of the total size. With the highly increasing demand and varied customer needs, this segment is poised for sub-segmentation. As the leaders of the scooter category, Honda has developed CLIQ, which would address the needs of customers with additional value of comfort and convenience.”

The CLIQ delivers maximum utility with practicality. An industry first in terms of OEM fitment in the 100-110 cc two-wheeler category, its special block pattern tyres with deep grooves provide extra grip and better control over patchy roads under all weather conditions. These rugged tyres are also more durable and have a longer life.

Wide & spacious foot-board, large under-seat storage space and rear carrier (optional) enhance the comfort and utility of increased load carrying capacity. The CLIQ is powered by the trusted 110 cc Honda BS-IV HET engine, which delivers superb mileage with no compromise in performance. With the engine delivering 5.91 Kw of power and a kerb weight of only 102 kgs, it has one of the best power to weight ratio which makes it extremely exciting to ride.

Ahead of its time, CLIQ comes equipped with Combi Brake System (CBS) with equaliser technology, resulting in reduced braking distance and improved balance, leading to more confident riding compared to conventional braking.

The scooter’s unisex design makes it equally comfortable to be ridden by both male and female riders, while its automatic transmission ensures low cost of ownership and a smoother ride. A mobile charging socket, tubeless tyres, maintenance free battery and viscous air filter are its other features.

According to HMSI Senior Vice President (Sales and Marketing) Yadvinder Singh Guleria: “Focused at up-country customers with a progressive mindset, CLIQ is a perfect blend of practicality, versatility and value for money.”
