Honda BeAT

The 2021 Honda Beat might look like a simple scooter from a distance, however, a closer look will make you believe how sleek and trendy it actually is. The sharply designed body panels do make the Honda Beat look edgy, and its youthfulness increases more with the fresh-looking body decals it has in all the variants.

The frontal look of 2021 version itself generates a very strong first impression of a sharp-looking scooter, with the main headlamp unit mounted on the lower central part of the front apron. The upper corners of this halogen headlamp do come mounted with wedge-shaped clear lens turn indicators, while the upper central portion of the front apron gets a black-colored V-shaped applique. The handlebar cowl too looks edgy sans the conventional headlamp placement, and it too gets a V-shaped piano black applique in the middle.

The side portions of the front apron extending towards the floorboard at the bottom have been designed in a zig-zag manner, thus making the scooter even sharper when you view this scooter from the sides. For the size of the scooter, the floorboard is quite roomy with a good amount of knee room for even taller riders. 

The side body panels have been given a dual-tone treatment with a good amount of black plastic panels just below the front edge of the seat adding some subtlety to the overall design of the scooter. The bold-looking decals as well as the split design for the five-spoke black alloy wheels make the Honda Beat look stylish. The rear portion of the Honda Beat is characterized by a sharp-looking tail lamp cluster, which gets a simple trapezoidal tail lamp with arrowhead-shaped clear lens blinkers on either sides.

While the overall scooter looks very stylish, the part digital instrument console looks too simple to match the rest of the visual appeal. The analog speedometer is assisted here with a rectangular orange-backlit MID panel, which shows the fuel gauge and odometer. The faux aluminum finished handlebar levers add a premium touch to the Beat.

The sharpness of the 2021 Honda Beat is not restricted only to its styling but is well extended to its ride and handling package as well. The scooter rides on tall 14-inch wheels and gets a slightly stiffer suspension setup of hydraulic telescopic forks at the front and single sided coil spring at the rear. This overall setup, along with the slim profile of the Honda Beat, gives it a sense of athleticism when it comes to handling. The scooter gets a single disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear.

The 2021 Honda Beat sources its power from a supremely tried and tested and hugely reliable four-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled, 110cc engine, which in past has powered many scooters and has been the mainstay for Honda Beat ever since its inception. This scooter mated to a conventional V-belt transmission is capable of pumping out 8.8 PS of maximum power and 9.2 Nm of peak torque output.

For an entry-level scooter, the Honda Beat is decently equipped with a key shutter mechanism for the ignition keyhole as well as a disc brake at the front. The range-topping Premium variant also gets an integrated braking system as well, which applies both the brakes when the rider applies only the rear brake pedal.

For the price it asks, the Honda Beat comes across as a value for money offering, offering subtle mechanicals and a decent amount of features. The tried and tested engine and chassis of the Honda Beat make up for a great combination which makes this scooter a very robust product.
