Overview of Honda AirBlade 2010-2011 After 8 Years of Use

The years 2010-2011 are regarded as the golden era of the Air Blade. This model features a completely new design with dual headlights, a multifunctional lock, and automatic engine shutdown when the kickstand is engaged. The new design has left users astonished and delighted.

Design, Appearance

Powerful and captivating. Classy and convenient.

Reflecting on the years 2007-2010 when the Air Blade made its debut, I am confident that in the mid-range scooter segment, it's hard to find a scooter more aesthetically pleasing than Honda's Air Blade. The design team has truly excelled in the design process.

The overall appearance of the scooter is sleek, following a design philosophy that combines angular shapes with rounded corners, creating a sporty yet agile and flexible look, without any hint of stiffness

The design essence resonates with the current Mercedes models – sporty, yet with soft, alluring features, distinctly Mytour, unisex. This quality makes the scooter more accessible to a broader audience, appealing to both men and women, regardless of age. Perhaps, this very factor is what consistently propels its sales to the forefront of the segment, even surpassing other competitors...

Engine, Performance, Fuel Efficiency

With a 110cc engine, it may not be the most powerful, but the Air Blade delivers an exhilarating riding experience. Much of this excitement comes from the roar of the engine, aligning with its name 'tear through the wind.' When you twist the throttle, the scooter accelerates with a thunderous sound, reminiscent of the landing of airplanes. This sensation is unique to the earlier models of the Air Blade and adds a distinctive charm to the riding experience.

While riding, the bike feels solid and stable; the body remains steady even when accelerating to speeds of 70-100km/h. Despite my bike being quite old, as a man, I prioritize maintenance over neglect.

However, when the bike has been idle in cold conditions for an extended period, there's a noticeable vibration at low throttle inputs. I'm unsure how to remedy this; I've taken it to the Head for inspection, and they claim there's no issue. I've had to accept this outcome.

The mirrors remain steady at high speeds; despite multiple falls, they have never shattered, allowing me to stick with the original pair that came with the bike

The suspension and brake systems operate smoothly and seamlessly. Even now, when traversing speed bumps, the ride maintains a smooth, sleek feel without the jolting experienced with your Vision. The Nissin disc brakes perform admirably, never once giving me any braking issues. The braking is even, consistent, and effortlessly smooth. Truly, Japanese components continue to uphold their value in terms of quality.

Especially, my Air Blade from this generation features electronic fuel injection and liquid cooling. It's remarkably fuel-efficient; I can cover about 100km on a full tank, navigating a mix of city and hill roads, and the fuel gauge just touches the red mark upon arrival. The cooling system operates flawlessly, and I've never encountered any engine temperature issues.

Favorite Aspect

Being an 8-year-old scooter, the 2010 Air Blade may not lead in modern, advanced technologies, so I can't compare it to current standards. However, it's relatively easy to maintain, with affordable servicing costs. Each maintenance visit costs me anywhere from a hundred thousand to a million dong at most (considering multiple replacements at once). When it comes to durable and economical motorcycles, Japanese bikes still reign supreme. The Air Blade, especially, has become a legend in the mid-range scooter category, not just in the past, but I believe, even now and in the future, the Air Blade will remain an excellent model from Honda.

Areas for Improvement

Occasionally, the Idling Stop function doesn't operate smoothly, and the rear shell tends to vibrate after a few disassemblies (possibly due to mechanics mishandling the connections). Notably, there is significant room for improvement in the suspension system.
