Launched at ₹1.35 Lakh: Honda’s QC3 Claims More Range Than the Activa e:, But Only 5 Cities Can Buy One
Sep 29, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- The fully digital cluster is a genuine step up for a 100cc bike, with a real-time mileage readout, average fuel economy, service due reminder and a clock.
- Tubeless tyres on 17-inch alloy wheels, so a puncture on the commute is a slow leak instead of an instant stop.
- At 103 kg with a 786 mm seat height and a long 677 mm seat, it is easy to handle for new riders and comfortable for two.
- 168 mm of ground clearance and a 5-step adjustable twin rear shock take bad roads and speed breakers in their stride.
- Honda's frugal fuel-injected 98.98cc engine is rated at 65 kmpl (ARAI) and comes with a 3-year standard warranty.
Worth knowing
- Drum brakes at both ends with only a combi braking system; there is no disc option at all.
- Halogen headlamp and bulb indicators and tail lamp, when LED lighting is becoming common in the segment.
- With 7.38 PS and a 4-speed gearbox it runs out of breath on the highway; the claimed top speed is 85 kmph.
- Sold in a single version at Rs 72,146, which ZigWheels notes is Rs 3,354 more than the base Hero HF Deluxe Flex Fuel.
