The Honda X-Blade 125cc is an upcoming street bike that will come with a sporty and edgy design. It will be equipped with a single-cylinder, four-stroke, SOHC engine derived from the Honda SP125. A 5-speed manual transmission will be offered as standard. We expect this street bike to be equipped with modern features like LED lighting, a digital dashboard, and sporty alloy wheels.
The design of the Honda X-Blade 125cc will be inspired by its bigger 160cc sibling. A Robo-face LED headlight setup, sculpted fuel tank, and a razor-sharp tail section will give it a sporty look. It will be based on a lightweight diamond-type frame like the Honda CBR. The suspension duties will be handled by telescopic forks at the front end and a mono-shock absorber at the rear end. Honda X-Blade 125cc will be fitted with a petal disc brake on the front wheel and a drum brake on the rear wheel. It might miss out on a single-channel ABS system, instead, it will come with a combined braking system. 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres will be offered as standard.
This street bike will be powered by a single-cylinder, four-stroke, SOHC, engine with air-cooling. The Honda X-Blade 125cc will produce nearly 9.72 hp of maximum power and 10.9 Nm of maximum torque. It will use a programmed fuel injection system like the CBR 300RR. It will be linked to a 5-speed manual transmission that will be accompanied by a wet multi-plate clutch. A dual outlet muffler will give this street bike an enhanced sporty look as well as a throatier exhaust note. Honda X-Blade 125cc will feature a fully digital instrument cluster and LED headlights. It will also get an engine start/stop switch and a side-stand engine cut-off switch.
