THE HONDA ELEVATE CVT ENTERS OUR LONG-TERM TEST FLEET AND STARTS OFF ON A GREAT NOTE
-

Our Elevate CVT Black Edition arrived with 4921 km on the odo — so still minty — and instantly set about making life easier for us motorcycle boys. I've driven it from Mumbai to Pune and back thrice, ferried friends home from the airport, driven it to haul books across the city and, of course, taken it along to arduous shoot days. So far, it's been a breezy, no-nonsense affair and while I spend most of my time driving it rather calmly, on the few occasions VTEC has kicked in (usually when I shift through the 7-step CVT manually, using the paddles), it really does produce an ad
