Honda has patented the NPF 125 in India, a sportier version of the Activa 125 with an aggressive design, more power, and advanced features. While the scooter is available in some Asian markets, its India launch remains uncertain as Honda currently offers the Dio 125 in the same segment.

More Power, Same Engine
The NPF 125 shares its 124cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with the Activa 125, but offers more power.

|---|---|---|---|
| Honda NPF 125 | 9.5 PS | 10 Nm | CVT |

- The NPF 125 produces 1.2 PS more power, but 0.5 Nm less torque than the Activa 125.
- The change in power figures is likely due to stricter emission norms in India compared to other Asian markets.
