We had back orders last year due to capacity constraints, but now with the increase in production, sales of the model have increased by nearly 90 per cent in the first seven months of the fiscal," said Yadvinder Singh Guleria, vice-president (sales & marketing), HMSI
The major attraction of the bike is that it is equipped with Combi Brake System (CBS), which is also seen in Honda's own Activa. This gives immense confidence to the rider and helps to reduce accidents to a good extent. The CBS is a braking system by which if the rear brake is applied, the front brake is also gets automatically applied. It precisely avoids skidding and brings in stability to the machine.
