The Honda Forza 350, CB750 Hornet, and Hawk 11 café racer are some of the brand’s global products that were patented in India but never made their way to showrooms. Joining this list is the Honda Beat scooter, already on sale in Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia and Thailand. Similar to the aforementioned models, the Beat is unlikely to be launched in India. Let’s take a look at its key details.
For power, the Honda Beat uses a 109.5cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, generating a maximum power of 9bhp at 7,500rpm and 9.2Nm of torque at 6,000rpm. It’s the same engine that powers the Activa but tuned to produce slightly more power and torque. The scooter is equipped with 14-inch wheels at both the front and rear. Suspension duties are handled by a conventional telescopic fork and a monoshock unit.
Attributes such as its lightweight body, with a kerb weight of 87kg (SBS type) to 88kg (Deluxe and Deluxe Smart Key types), and a low seat height of 742mm make it an ideal choice for daily commuting on urban roads. The higher variants of the scooter come with keyless ignition and features such as a USB charging port, an anti-theft alarm, a combined braking system (CBS), a digital panel meter, and an LED headlight.
In global markets, the Honda Beat is offered in multiple color schemes, including Deluxe Matte Blue, Deluxe Matte Green, Deluxe Matte Black, Deluxe Black, Deluxe Matte Silver, Funk Red Black, Hard Rock Black, and Jazz White Black. Its overall length, width, and height are 1,876mm, 669mm, and 1,080mm, respectively. It has a seat height of 742mm and a fuel tank capacity of 4.2 liters. The two-wheeler maker also offers several accessories for the Beat scooter, including a Baru rubber step floor, garnish cover muffler, and garnish air cleaner.
