As it should, the Dax keeps it simple. A steel frame provides strength and houses the fuel tank while 31mm USD forks, twin rear shocks and 12-inch wheels with chunky tyres provide light steering and good suspension performance. Braking is via hydraulic discs front and rear with ABS control.
Robust and fuel efficient, the 124cc SOHC two-valve engine’s power is linear in delivery with smooth torque. A centrifugal clutch manages shifting between the four ratios so there’s no need for a handlebar-mounted clutch lever. It offers twist-and-go simplicity with the added entertainment of changes via a traditional left-foot gear lever. EURO5+ compliance has also been built in for 25YM.
All lighting is LED and a circular LCD display shows exactly what the rider needs to know. The pillion gets a chromed grab rail, too. Accessories available include a rear carrier, side bag support, USB socket and heated grips.
The 25YM Dax will be available in the following colour options:
- **NEW** Pearl Shining Black
- Pearl Cadet Gray
- Pearl Glittering Blue
Engine
- 124cc, air-cooled SOHC two-valve design produces 6.9kW and 10.8Nm
- Stress-free centrifugal clutch and four-speed gearbox
- O2 sensor added for EURO5+ compliance, alongside updated catalyser and ECU settings
Drawn from the Super Cub C125 – so flexible, efficient and durable – the 124cc air-cooled engine features a SOHC two-valve cylinder head, with relatively long stroke and high compression; bore is set at 50mm, stroke at 63.1mm with compression ratio of 10.0:1. Peak power of 6.9kW arrives @ 7,000rpm, with peak torque of 10.8Nm @ 5,000rpm.
The engine’s strong performance means that even two-up a 90km/h cruising speed is achievable, with smart acceleration from low speed – just what’s needed for lively around-town amusement.
On the left-hand side of the bike the distinctive oval air box, filter and connecting tube ensure smooth, efficient airflow through the clean side, delivering crisp throttle response and driveability. The upswept muffler and heat shield is evocative of that golden motorcycling era of the ‘70s. An uprated catalyser, new ECU settings and addition of an O2 sensor ensure EURO5+ compliance.
In keeping with the laid-back, easy to ride feel the gearbox is a 4-speed unit (with neutral at the bottom) operated via centrifugal clutch, without the need for a clutch lever. At standstill the rider simply selects the gear required with the left-hand foot lever and, as the throttle is opened, the clutch operates automatically and does so through each ratio change, up or down.
Various low-friction technologies, like an offset cylinder and roller-rocker arms in the head, ensure impressive fuel economy of 66.7km/l (WMTC mode). This gives the Dax a range of approx. 250km from the 3.8L fuel tank.
Chassis
- T-shaped pressed steel frame integral to handling and looks
- 31mm USD forks, twin rear shocks and 12-inch wheels provide a smooth ride
- Hydraulic disc braking front and rear with ABS
The iconic T-shaped frame design houses the fuel tank, is authentic in aesthetic detail and constructed in pressed-steel with modern engineering know-how. Rake and trail are set at 24.9°/84mm with wheelbase of 1200mm. Wet weight is just 107kg.
31mm USD forks provide supple suspension response and, combined with the wide upswept handlebar, easy steering. Twin rear shocks are tuned for smooth compliance, even with a pillion. Blacked-out 12-inch rims (from the super-cool MSX125 Grom) wear fat, balloon-like tyres; a 120mm wide front and 130mm rear. They add sure-footed grip allied to nimble agility.
Single-channel ABS manages braking force. Hydraulic front and rear calipers grip 220/190mm diameter discs respectively.
Styling & Equipment
- Chrome high-set handlebars and upswept exhaust muffler are Dax signature pieces
- Full LED lighting and LCD instrument display
- Chrome passenger grabrail
While the Dax is small, its proportions provide enough room to be comfortable for two adults to ride.
The styling really is the frame; everything is attached to, or held within it, giving the Dax its unmistakeable retro look. As do all the other parts; the thick dual seat – seat height is just 775mm – chrome high-set handlebars and the 1970’s dirt bike-inspired upswept muffler with drilled, slotted and chromed heat shield.
The frame’s mid-section wears a black stripe with ‘Dax’ picked out in quirky font, right next to the classic Honda Wing logo that marks its special heritage. A unique finishing touch comes in the form of a cartoon image of a Dachshund.
A chromed mudguard leads and sits below the evocative, circular headlight. To add extra charm to the light, signature round LEDs are used and the front indicators/position lights sit snugly in between low and high beams. The compact instrument display is a round, negative LCD while the rear taillight and indicators take their cues from the headlight and are also LED.
There’s a neat chrome grabrail for the passenger to hold while a cover seals the drive chain away from weather and loose clothing.
A comprehensive range of Genuine Honda Accessories is available for the Dax. To boost everyday useability, a rear chrome luggage rack is available alongside a deep, left-hand side canvas pannier completed with an included waterproof black fabric inner bag.
For added peace of mind in all weather, heated grips and a USB socket to keep personal devices charged are available.
