Honda Dio 110 BS6

The Honda Dio 110 DLX BS6 has a slim and sporty design. It does not look bulky or heavy like some scooters in the market. This makes it very easy to ride and park in crowded areas like New Road, Baneshwor, Kalimati, and Gongabu.

The front design with LED headlight and DRLs gives it a modern look, especially during night rides in Kathmandu. The scooter looks clean and youthful, which is why many students prefer it.

Build quality is decent and typical Honda style. Panels feel tight and strong, and even after riding on rough roads near Bhaktapur and Balkhu uneven sections, there are no major rattling issues.

Key Points

✓ Lightweight and easy to park
✓ Clean sporty design
✓ Good paint quality for long use
✗ Not very premium looking compared to NTorq or RayZR
✗ Basic plastic feel in some areas

The Dio 110 DLX BS6 comes with a 109.51cc fuel-injected engine that produces 7.75 bhp and 9.03 Nm torque.

This engine is built for smooth and easy city riding, not for speed or racing.

During real testing in Kathmandu traffic:

• Pickup from 0–40 km/h feels smooth and easy
• In Kalanki–Koteshwor traffic, throttle response is predictable
• On uphill road towards Dakshinkali, it climbs steadily with one rider or light pillion

Top speed stays around 80–83 km/h, but the scooter feels best between 40–60 km/h.

Pros

✓ Very smooth engine
✓ No vibration in city use
✓ Easy for beginners

Cons

✗ Weak overtaking power
✗ Not good for highway riding

This is where the Dio 110 feels very strong in real life.

With just 103 kg weight, it is extremely easy to control. In tight traffic areas like Kalanki jam, Balkhu road, and New Baneshwor lanes, the scooter moves without stress.

The steering is light, so new riders feel confident quickly.

Seat height is 765 mm, which is slightly tall but still manageable for most Nepali riders.

In real Nepali roads:

• Gravel roads → okay but slow riding needed

Pros

✓ Safe braking for daily use
✓ Comfortable suspension for city roads
✓ Easy control for beginners

Cons

✗ No disc brake option
✗ Rear suspension feels soft with pillion
