Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has launched the ‘Cliq’ 110 cc scooter at Rs 42,499, ex-showroom Delhi. The Cliq stands out with its quirky design, and appears to be aimed at people who deliver things in a busy city.
The Cliq with its flat footboard, wider seat, and ample under seat storage, boasts an increased load carrying capacity. Honda says the Cliq’s unisex design will appeal to both male & female riders. Few more features include an additional load carrier (optional), mobile charging socket (under seat storage), Automatic Headlamp On (AHO), and Combi Brake System (CBS) with Equalizer. The Equalizer distributes braking force proportionately between front and rear wheels simultaneously, resulting in reduced braking distance & improved balance.
The Cliq is powered by a 110 cc 4 stroke engine, with an output of 8 hp @ 7,000 rpm and 8.94 Nm of torque @ 5,500 rpm, paired to a CVT automatic. Claimed top speed is 83 km/h.
The Cliq also gets Block Pattern tires for extra grip on patchy roads, which is claimed to be the industry first.
Colors on offer are Patriotic Red with White, Black, Moroccan Blue with White, and Orcus Grey.
Minoru Kato, President and CEO, HMSI, said, “Six out of 10 two wheelers sold in India belong to 100-110cc 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 to sub segmentation. As the leaders of scooter category, Honda has developed Cliq which would address the needs of customers with additional value of comfort and convenience.”
Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, HMSI, said, “Focused at up-country customers with a progressive mindset, Cliq is a perfect blend of Practicality, Versatility and value for money. Breaking the price barrier of automatic transmission on two wheels, only Honda as the market leader in automatic scooters with its unparalleled economies of scale & assured Trust, could challenge traditional preferences by bringing this kind of disruption in the 100-110cc segment.”
