Honda Dio specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
Engine and performance
Power comes from a 110cc single producing 7.75 bhp and 9.03 Nm, paired with a CVT automatic. At 106 kg the power-to-weight figure is 73 bhp per tonne, which ranks 22 of 25 in its class here.
Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.

Dimensions in practice
The Dio weighs 106 kg with fluids, has an 765 mm seat, 160 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1260 mm wheelbase. Clearance is on the low side; take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion.
The fuel tank holds 5.3 litres, good for about 252 km between fills in real-world riding.
Tyres are 90/90-12 front and 90/100-10 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Links the rear brake lever to the front so a rear-only stamp still slows you properly.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Idle start-stop
Engine switches off at signals and restarts on throttle. Worth 3–5% mileage in city traffic.
Under-seat storage
Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.
