PCX

This year we gave the PCX a whole new engine. The eSP+ technology (enhanced smart power) uses a four-valve design with a new bore/ stroke ratio specially designed to lower emissions and provide responsive performance.

The PCX features Honda's Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), giving you the power to make confident stops, even in less-than-ideal conditions.

To make daily life that little bit more convenient it's fitted with the Honda Smart Key system. The Smart Key itself resides in the rider's pocket and does away with the need to constantly insert and withdraw a key for ignition, fuel cap, and seat. Revised instruments present analog speedometer and rev-counter dials flanking a digital display that can switch between 3 modes (controlled by a switch on the left handlebar): odometer, range remaining, and current mpg; trip meter, average mpg, and timer; or ambient temperature thermometer and battery sensor.

From the front, the PCX also stakes out a strong identity; the LED headlights and razor-thin position lights slant independently upwards, with LED indicators discreetly filling out the upper, outer tips. This 'face' also changes subtly between high and low beams. The slim LED rear tail light/indicator unit is two-tiered and offers increased visibility.

The PCX features an integral USB-type socket in the fairing storage compartment, making it super easy to keep your personal electronics charged up while you're on the go.

Flip the seat open, and you have room for a full-face helmet or an evening's worth of groceries. The main compartment locks for security and is weather-resistant, too. With a full 28 litres, it's big enough for everyday use.

The long, plush seat is even more comfortable than it looks. Plus, give your copilot an incredible view with the stepped passenger section.
