Honda has designed the LIVO for the comfort of both the rider and the pillion irrespective of the road conditions.
“Because of its upright handle position, the rider can clock long distances at stretch without any strain. With a wider turning angle, the new LIVO is easy to maneuver in tight traffic conditions as well as narrow roads and lanes,” the company said.
The longer wheel base, and the 5-step adjustable rear suspension provide more stability on bad roads & at higher speeds. The increased ground clearance also allows it to comfortably tackle bad roads.

During dense traffic requiring frequent gear shifts, full gear lever helps make riding convenient. The viscous filter does not need to be cleaned regularly and requires only to be replaced after 16000 kms. The battery is maintenance free and doesn’t require a top-up, invalidating the chances of leakage completely.
