Honda launches the 2nd generation of the Elite 125, the main one in its category with updates in design, technology and engine!

Honda has just launched the second generation of its market-leading scooter, the Elite 125. Introduced in December 2018 as the entry-level option to Honda's range of scooters, the Elite 125 quickly established itself as a favorite among Brazilians, conquering both novice and veteran motorcyclists. Now, the 2025 version arrives with several improvements and innovations, promising to maintain the title of leader in its category, according to tribunapr.

With an impressive sales history, the Elite 125 has already sold more than 110 units in five years. The new version of the scooter comes equipped with a completely new engine, a more ergonomic design and advanced technological features, all to provide an even more pleasant and efficient riding experience.

 Design and comfort perfected by Honda

The new Honda Elite 125 2025 was designed to offer greater comfort and practicality. The tubular steel underbone chassis, tuned to improve agility without compromising safety. The rear suspension has received significant modifications, including a new actuation angle and spring load adjustment, ensuring a smoother and more stable ride.

The seat, now redesigned, is closer to the ground, facilitating parking maneuvers and offering greater comfort for both the driver and passenger. Furthermore, with increased space between the front shield and the seat, thus allowing more mobility for the driver's legs and feet.

Advanced technology and functionality

However, the 125 Elite 2025 stands out for its fully digital Blackout LCD panel, which is now wider and more informative. In addition to traditional functions such as speedometer, odometer and clock, the panel offers information on instantaneous consumption, average consumption, remaining autonomy, battery indicator and the Eco Indicator, thus helping to save fuel.

Another important innovation is the ISS (Idling Stop System), which automatically switches off and restarts the engine during prolonged stops, thus contributing to fuel economy and reduced emissions. This system can be deactivated using a button on the right handle, similar to Honda's PCX model.

Engine and performance optimized by Honda

The engine of the new Elite 125 was developed to meet the strict Promot 5 standards, incorporating eSP (Enhanced Smart Power) technology, which offers greater energy efficiency and lower pollutant emissions. With power and torque similar to the previous model, the new engine operates at lower speeds, resulting in less wear and greater durability.

The CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) transmission system provides smooth and progressive acceleration, ideal for inexperienced drivers, eliminating the need to manage the clutch and gearbox.

Practicality in everyday life

The new Elite 125 was designed with practicality in mind. The underseat compartment, capable of storing a Jet helmet, has been redesigned to be more accessible. The fuel tank nozzle was repositioned to the outside, avoiding contamination of the storage compartment during refueling. Furthermore, the scooter is equipped with two practical hooks for transporting objects and an additional compartment on the inside of the front shield.

Therefore, with all these improvements and a suggested price of R$ 12.966,00 in SP, the Honda Elite 125 2025 promises to continue being the preferred choice of Brazilians for a practical, economical and efficient mobility. The scooter will be available at Honda dealerships from June, with a 3-year unlimited mileage warranty and seven free inspections with Pro Honda oil.
