In 2010, Honda deeply disrupted the 125 cc scooter market by launching a low-cost model with proven performance: the. Available two years more in a limited edition – -, it improves for 2014 on the dynamic and aesthetic levels.

More practical and (even!) More sober

First sale of the winged crest on the, the PCX (for "Personal Commuter neXt generation") sold 2637 units in France. To stay on this beautiful dynamic, Honda is intelligently refining its bestseller by first giving it a facelift via new, more tense lines..

We also note the replacement of bulbs by LEDs inside the redesigned optics, as well as at the level of the indicators and the lighting of the license plate..

Less visible but probably even more appreciated by its future owners, the improvements aimed at increasing its comfort and practical aspects are more spectacular..

The 2014 vintage of the 2014 PCX indeed saw its endowment of equipment seriously revised upwards: a warning control and a 12 V socket appear, the glove box is slightly larger, while a jack now maintains the saddle raised to facilitate access to the boot. A space inside which it is always possible to store a full face helmet.

Finally, the controls for opening the fuel tank hatch and the saddle as well as the contactor (now covered with a burglar-proof shutter) have been brought closer to the driver by "15 mm", reports the first two-wheeler manufacturer. motorized.

On the technical side, the svelte PCX 125 (130 kg all full facts announced) retains the same bases (124.9cc water-cooled 4-stroke single-cylinder, steel tube chassis, combined braking via a 220 mm disc at the front and a 130 mm drum at the rear), but increases the energy efficiency of its engine thanks to the reduction of internal friction and the use of a new fuel pump.

Already particularly sober on the previous model (read in particular our Duel), the Honda mechanics would only require 2.11 liters of gasoline to cover 100 km, or an announced autonomy of "375 km" thanks to the 8 liters now contained in the tank ( 5.9 liters in 2013).

According to Honda, the use of LEDs as well as tires that consume less in terms of friction – in this case, Dunlops – also contributes to lowering consumption. The icing on the Sushi (yuck!): This record value would have been calculated by the engine manufacturers without resorting to "Idling Stop", this system derived from the automobile which cuts the engine when stationary, then restarts it when the accelerator is actuated.

The manufacturer also specifies that this device commonly called "Start and Stop" now has a feature allowing it to be deactivated automatically when the battery level becomes too low. A battery announced in passing "more durable".

Available in April 2014

The 2014 model of the PCX 125 will be available in France from April in black, white, gray or red. Asked by Site, Honda France is currently unable to provide us with its price (€ 2,599 in 2013). Stay connected !
