Honda Updates Its Adventure Scooter And Maxi-scooters In Japan

Honda has launched the 2022 X-ADV, the 2022 PCX 125 and PCX 160 in the Japanese market. While the flagship adventure scooter will reach dealerships July 28 onwards, the PCX twins will hit the streets from June 23.

The Honda X-ADV received its first major update in 2020 since its debut in 2017. Along with the aesthetic and mechanical changes, the Japanese bikemaker also introduced new colours. Though the Japanese market received the new X-ADV last year, the ‘Grand Prix Red’ and the ‘Matte Ballistic Black Metallic’ colours have been launched now.

The 2022 Honda X-ADV sports no mechanical changes, and continues with the same 745cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin mill producing 58PS at 6750rpm and 69Nm at 4750rpm. This engine is mated to a DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) gearbox.
