Overseas] "Super Cub C125" 2026 Model Adopts New Color, Modern White! Launched in Europe

The Super Cub C125, Honda's iconic model that has been produced over 100 million units worldwide since its birth in 1958, has been updated for the 2026 model year. It inherits the traditional S-shaped silhouette and automatic centrifugal clutch, and is equipped with the latest engine compliant with Euro 5+ regulations. With a new exclusive two-tone color scheme, it combines historical value and modern convenience at a high level.

Exclusive colors and equipment for the 2026 model that create a premium feel

The most significant change for the 2026 model year is the adoption of a new color scheme that further accentuates its silhouette. The exclusive two-tone color scheme, named "Premium Silver Metallic with Pearl Sugar Cane Beige," offers a sophisticated, contemporary aesthetic in a classic outfit. There are no functional changes in the new model. Following in the footsteps of its predecessors, the suspension features 17-inch die-cast aluminum wheels that enhance stability and steering precision. The rims and spokes are machined to create a luxurious feel from the feet up. The braking system features a single 220-millimeter-diameter disc and single-piston caliper at the front, with an anti-lock braking system as standard equipment for safety. At the rear, traditional 110-millimeter-diameter drum brakes are used. The suspension is a telescopic fork with 100 mm of travel at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear, which blend in with the body color, to absorb road irregularities precisely, giving the bike a quality character beyond the 125 cc class.

It has a more classic, mature and attractive atmosphere.

Unique design and driving performance that transcends time

The design concept of "the pleasure of being useful in people's lives," which has been carried over from the first generation "Super Cub C100," has not faded away in the 2026 model year. The step-through structure for easy entry and exit, and the S-shaped silhouette flowing from the leg guards to the rear fender, established a unique identity that makes the Super Cub instantly recognizable. At the heart of the machine is an air-cooled 124 cc single-cylinder engine with a bore of 50 mm, a stroke of 63.1 mm, and a compression ratio of 10.0 to 1. It delivers a maximum output of 7.2 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 10.4 Newton meters, providing smooth power characteristics in the practical range. The 3.7-liter fuel tank can theoretically be filled to the brim with fuel for a distance of approximately 250 kilometers. kilometers per liter. This latest unit also complies with the strict Euro 5+ regulations and combines clean exhaust with high economic efficiency.

Automatic centrifugal clutch brings the Cub's unique operating feel

A traditional and iconic element of the Super Cub is the four-speed gearbox that requires no clutch lever. The automatic centrifugal clutch allows the rider to complete gear selection only by operating the lever with the left foot. When starting off, the clutch is automatically connected by simply opening the throttle, and while riding, the rider can enjoy the unique operation of shifting up with the toe and down with the heel, which is unique to the Cub. This unique gearshift system was once devised so that deliverymen could drive with one hand while holding a package in the other, but today it contributes greatly to stress-free riding in urban areas. In addition, the use of helical primary gears inside the engine reduces unpleasant mechanical noise. This makes for a quieter and more comfortable urban ride.

Smart key and LEDs add a touch of modern convenience

Despite the retro appearance, the latest technology is lavishly employed in the functional aspects of the car. All lighting is LED, and the instrumentation incorporates a dual chrome ring design that combines an analog speedometer with a digital display that shows the fuel gauge and clock. A dramatic improvement in convenience is the use of the Honda Smart Key System. The system allows the driver to start the vehicle with the key in his or her pocket, and includes an immobilizer function that effectively deters theft and an answer-back function that makes it easy to locate one's vehicle even in crowded bicycle parking areas. The smart key fob is decorated with a 3D classic wing logo that symbolizes Honda's history, and the key is the attention to detail that satisfies the desire for ownership. In addition, a full range of genuine accessories are available to enhance everyday usability. Grip heaters to make driving more comfortable in winter or in the rain, and USB sockets for charging smartphones and other electronic devices are available to customize the vehicle to suit individual lifestyles.

More detailed information on the timing and pricing of the introduction is awaited in the future.
