The Honda Cliq is developed with an utilitarian purpose in mind. This scooter should be rugged, practical, comfortable, and offer convenience in day to day life.

It’s expected that the Cliq will be available across the country before the festive season. Honda Cliq will be manufactured at company’s Tapukara plant in Rajasthan.
Design-
The design of the Honda Cliq also has an utilitarian feel to it. It’s made for a practicality, so you get bigger footboard and larger underseat storage of 14-litres. If all that space in not enough for you then one can also get an optional rear carrier. The weight of the Cliq is just 102kg, which is 8kg lighter than the Honda Active and equal to the Navi. With ruggedness in mind, the Cliq is shod with block pattern tubeless tyres with deep grooves for extra grip and control in the versatile environment. This scooter can be had in four colours- Morrocan Blue, Orcus Grey, Patriot Red, and Black.
Engine and Safety-
The workhorse in the Honda Cliq is the same 110cc single cylinder BS-4 engine that propels the Activa and Navi. This engine produces 8 bhp at 7,000 rpm and 8.94 Nm of torque. Being utilitarian does not mean that the Honda has cut corners regarding safety. The Honda Cliq is equipped with Combi-Braking System (CBS) that evenly distributes the braking force on the front and rear wheels even if you press just one lever. It also gets a maintenance free battery.
