HONDA PCX 125 (A1,B) 2021

Honda's efforts in the scooter category will continue in 2021 with the PCX 125. More range, starting with the Honda Smart Key transponder, the popular Japanese scooter gets a new Smart Power Plus engine with four soupapes that meet Euro 5 specifications, as well as larger tires and more comfortable amortisseurs. Progress that appears to be significant.

The Honda PCX 125 debuted in Europe in 2010 and has since evolved on several occasions. Improvements have been made, and it is now compliant with the Euro4 standard. On several levels, it will change again in 2021. Sa line is updated, and its under-shelf storage capacity is increased by (+ 2,4 l, for a total of 30,4 l), allowing for the storage of an entire casque.

The Honda scooter, which has been manufactured in Thailand since its inception, now includes a USB Type-C port in the luggage compartment, as well as a new "big screen" dashboard that displays all relevant information. According to Honda, the driver will have more room for his hands. The great gabarits will appreciate it. With the Honda Smart Key transponder system, you may start your car, open the trunk, and open the trunk lid. Previously reserved for "high-end" scooters, Honda's transponder is now available for more affordable scooters. This is a noteworthy event.

Honda PCX 125: more popular in 2021 and a little more expensive, but still a low-cost winner!

A new LED lighting system has been added to the PCX 125 model 2021. The traditional ampoule lighting is clearly on its way out, thanks to a growing trend. But the big news comes on the inside: the Simple Arbre à Came en Tête (SACT) engine with four soupapes and a liquid cooling system called Smart Power Plus (eSP +), which includes a slew of new parts. This modern monocylindre, always geared toward fuel economy, meets the requirements of the EURO5 standard.

The PCX125 produces 9,2 kW (12,5 ch) at 8 750 tr / min, with a maximum couple of 11,8 Nm at 6 500 tr / min. Honda claims a consumption of 2,1 liters per 100 kilometers (in WMTC mode), which translates to a range of around 385 kilometers thanks to the 8,1 liters of fuel in the tank. The word "efficiency" comes to mind when describing this scooter, which is primarily designed for urban use. His Idling Stop system, which was a pioneer in the field when it first came out, is unquestionably still in use. When the engine is stopped for more than 3 seconds, the engine is cut off (moteur chaud). Despite not achieving a significant reduction in fuel consumption based on our measurements, this system is appreciated in use for its quietness, lack of vibrations, and efficiency during restarts.

The Honda Selectable Couple Control (HSTC) has been added to the PCX125 in order to restrict rear-wheel robberies; the scooter's relatively low power may not have necessitated this addition. A redesigned frame receives back suspensions after a longer discussion, which should improve comfort. Larger tires are making their appearance. We're confident that the maniability will be preserved despite this, but the presence of these larger tires should reassure potential buyers. It's true that the old crooked mountain was a "cyclomoteur."

The PCX 2021 will be available in the usual colors of perle, rouge, and black mat métallisé, as well as gris mat, a new hue. His arrival is set for February 2021, at a cost of 3 299 €, a price increase of a few hundred Euros (hors promo). A genuine price increase, but one that appears justified in light of recent improvements and the addition of a 5-year warranty today. However, a planking rate of less than 3000, if not less than 2 500 Euros, will almost certainly be impossible in the future. His experiment promises to be fascinating!
