Enhanced Smart Architecture Frame or eSAF for scooter motorbikes Honda viral because it was accused of being easily corroded and porous. eSAF is a new framework that has been applied by Honda since 2019 through the Genio scooter.
So what’s the difference eSAF framework normal frame?
From various sources compiled, the eSAF frame was first used by the Honda Genio at the start of its launch in 2019. This frame is a common part that is also used in later Honda scooter models, such as the Scoopy, BeAT and the latest Vario 160 model. Ordinary order, generally not common part.
In terms of architecture, the eSAF frame is certainly different from the usual frame. If an ordinary frame uses steel rods that are assembled into a complete frame, then the eSAF frame uses steel plates that are pressed and welded using laser welding.
Honda itself claims that the eSAF framework has many advantages, what are they?
1. Lighter
The first advantage, the eSAF frame is claimed to be lighter than the usual tube frame. On the Honda Genio, for example, eSAF technology makes the weight lighter. The frame is said to weigh only 11 kg. Meanwhile, the previous Honda scooter tube frame reached 15 kg. This makes driving more comfortable and easy to maneuver.
2. Make Motor More Fuel Efficient
The lightness of the frame makes the motorbike more fuel efficient. On the Honda Genio, in an internal test using the ECE R40 method, fuel consumption is claimed to reach 59.1 km/liter (ISS feature on), then Honda BeAT up to 60.6 km/liter (ISS feature on), Honda Vario 160 46.9 km/liter, and the Honda Scoopy 59 km/liter.

3. Minimal Deformation
The pressed steel plate sheets are then welded using a more sophisticated technology. For joining several pressed steel plates, the welding process uses a laser welding tool which is claimed to minimize deformation.
Welding using laser welding is claimed to be able to make frames in a better quality and does not affect the composition of the frame body. Almost no deformation.
4. Bigger Space
The use of the eSAF frame allowed Honda engineers to design a larger space for the fuel tank and trunk. The Honda BeAT has a 12 liter trunk with a 4.2 liter fuel tank. Furthermore, the Honda Vario 160 has a trunk capacity of 18 liters and a 5.5 liter fuel tank. Then the Honda Genio has a 14 liter trunk with a 4.2 liter fuel tank. Finally, the Honda Scoopy has a 15.4 liter trunk with a 4.2 liter fuel tank.
Then how do you take care of the eSAF frame so that it lasts a long time? Still according to several sources, here are tips on caring for the Honda eSAF frame:
1. Follow the care manual
It is very important to always follow the maintenance instructions in the vehicle manual provided by the manufacturer.
In the official manual, you will find detailed information on how to maintain the eSAF frame and other parts to keep them in good condition.
2. Pay attention to road conditions
Choose a road suitable for your vehicle type and the condition of the eSAF frame. Try to avoid roads that are very broken, uneven, or rocky which can subject the vehicle frame to excessive vibration.
This is because extreme road conditions can have an impact on the durability of your eSAF frame.
3. Clean regularly
The third step to note is to keep the eSAF frame clean regularly. Use clean water and mild soap when cleaning it.
Be sure to avoid using strong chemicals, as this can damage the protective coating or finish on the frame.
