Honda Dio vs Honda Navi [2016-2017]

We all know of Hercules. The son of Zeus (and some mere mortal); one with unfathomable strength; and one who after completing 12 labours became the greatest hero Greece had ever seen. The labours were also seen as a virtuous struggle that led Hercules to fame and immortality. Greeks called it pathos, though it has a less celebratory meaning in Oxford.

If I had a penny for each time guys over at Honda uttered worlds like ‘unique’ and ‘fun’ to describe the NAVI all through this press ride, I’d possibly have enough money to buy myself one. Okay, I may have exaggerated a bit there. Admittedly, the NAVI (New Additional Value for India) is unique and something which you cannot really typecast. Sure, on paper it’s a much simpler deal (Read: 110cc two-wheeler with a CVT) but then you look at it, and all your presumptions as a viewer are challenged.

The Hero Xoom 110 is an interesting proposition. It aims to deliver a sporty scooter riding experience, similar to some 125cc examples from brands like TVS and Suzuki, but in a smaller, more frugal, and more accessible package.

First glimpse at the new Hero Xoom and it’s evident that this 110cc scooter is squarely targeted towards the young buyers.
