Honda DIO

The design of this scooter is led by the dual-tone stylish body graphics that add a very modern and edgy look to the scooter. This scooter features a very clean design, with the focus being kept solely on the colourful body of the vehicle. This scooter's design does a great job at keeping all the mechanical parts out of your eyesight, except for the exhaust. 

The scooter also has many practical modern features in its design that are great for everyday use. This includes the LED headlights that can be electronically adjusted. The headlight placement is also an essential aspect of this scooter's design as it provides excellent illumination during the night.

The front console of this scooter is an amalgamation of digital and analogue features. The console features a digital speedometer with an analogue odometer and fuel gauge.

The Honda Dio features excellent ride and handling features that make this scooter comfortable for people of all ages. One of the best features of this model is its lightweight of only 104kgs. This makes it one of the lightest scooters available in the Philippine market. The rider and pillion seats are very comfortable and soft, which is excellent for riding long and short distances. This scooter does a great job of incorporating the pillion footpegs into the scooter's body, saving space and giving the pillion a comfortable seating posture.

The handling of this scooter is handled by its suspension system. The front-wheel features a bottom link suspension system and the back wheel features a mono-shock rear suspension. The suspension of this scooter is not its strongest suit, but it does an excellent job of improving the handling of this scooter. This is especially true when you go riding in rough road conditions.

Performance and speed are also one of the main reasons the Honda Dio is a great scooter. It features a 109cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine. That can push out a maximum power of 9 PS at 7,500 RPM and a maximum torque of 9 Nm at 5,000 RPM. These features make this scooter fast with good acceleration. This scooter features an automatic transmission alongside the engine that is able to get this vehicle at top speeds over 80 kmph.

The Honda Dio also features a 5.3-litre fuel tank that might not seem like a lot, but this scooter comes with an astounding fuel efficiency of 58.3 kmpl. This makes the 5.3-litre tank also great for traveling across long distances without constant refueling.

Braking and safety features are standard on the Honda Dio as it is an everyday commuting vehicle. The front and the rear wheel both feature drum brakes that do the job of decelerating the vehicle in heavy traffic or empty roads. It should be noted that the brakes tend to loosen up over time due to usage, so it is crucial for the riders to do proper maintenance on their scooter to ensure their safety on the road.

Other than the braking system, this scooter also features other safety features such as a passing light, street riding mode, and a shutter lock mechanism.

The Honda Dio is an excellent choice for a scooter that can be used for daily commute by people of all ages. Even though the design and the looks are made for being attractive to men, women can also ride this scooter without any hassle. The automatic transmission, attractive looks, and excellent fuel efficiency make this scooter one of the best buys in the Philippines markets.
