New Honda Motorcycle Combines Updated Engine, Surprising Fuel Efficiency, and Affordable Price, Bringing Changes That Could Impact the Popular Market and Modify the Preference of Urban Consumers for Economic and Practical Vehicles in Daily Life.
Honda Surprises the Popular Motorcycles Market by Launching an Updated Version of the Pop 110i ES, Priced Around R$ 10,000 in June 2025.
With a redesigned engine to meet the strict environmental standards of Promot 5, the motorcycle boasts an impressive average fuel consumption of around 49 km per liter, a detail that stands out in a segment traditionally focused on efficiency.
Additionally, the motorcycle brings relevant technical changes that promise to enhance the user experience, especially for those seeking an agile vehicle for urban traffic, and could even threaten the dominance of the CG 160, one of the best-selling models in the country.

Renovated Engine and Performance Adjusted for the Urban Consumer
The Pop 110i ES 2025 comes equipped with an air-cooled single-cylinder engine, four-stroke, with 109.5 cm³ of displacement.
According to official Honda information and industry specialists, the engine has received updates that increased its power by 6% and torque by 5% compared to the previous generation, now reaching 8.43 horsepower at 7,250 rpm and maximum torque of 0.94 kgf·m at 5,000 rpm.
This improvement was made possible by adapting the engine to comply with Promot 5 requirements, which impose strict emission limits, forcing manufacturers to implement more efficient technologies, such as dual catalysts and activated carbon filters.
The bore and stroke of the piston remain at 47.0 x 63.1 mm, a feature that reinforces Honda’s commitment to the robustness and durability of the motorcycle.
Semi-Automatic Transmission and Electric Start Simplify Usage
To further simplify the user’s daily routine, the motorcycle features a four-speed semi-automatic rotary gearbox, eliminating the need for manual clutch use— a characteristic that makes it very accessible for new motorcyclists.
This system is similar to that used in the renowned Biz 110 and 125 models, which are successful for their practicality in large cities.
Another noteworthy aspect is the adoption of electric start, eliminating the traditional pedal previously used in earlier versions.
This modernization adds comfort and speed when starting the motorcycle, making riding smoother and less tiring.
Fuel Efficiency That Impresses and Range for Long Trips
The most discussed highlight among consumers is the average fuel consumption, which ranges between 49.1 and 49.7 km/l, according to tests conducted by specialized institutes and reports from users on social media.
This means that, with a 4.2-liter tank (with 1 liter reserved), the Pop 110i ES can achieve up to 206 km of theoretical range, ideal for those who use the motorcycle daily for commuting in the city or for short trips.
It is worth noting that actual consumption may vary depending on usage conditions, traffic, and maintenance, but fuel economy remains one of the motorcycle’s biggest attractions.
Chassis and Comfort for Those Seeking Mobility
With a dry weight of only 87 kg, the Honda Pop 110i ES is lightweight and easy to maneuver in heavy traffic.
Its suspension features a front telescopic fork with a stroke of 100 mm and two rear shock absorbers with a stroke of 83 mm, configuring a basic but efficient chassis for urban streets and avenues.
The 110 mm drum brakes on both wheels come with a CBS (Combined Braking System), distributing braking force and offering more safety even in adverse conditions.
However, some users and experts criticize the absence of disc brakes, a technology already present in popular motorcycles from other brands, which provides greater efficiency and safety.
The Michelin Pilot Street 2 tires, measuring 60/100 17 in the front and 80/100 14 in the rear, ensure good grip and stability, which are important for the varied traffic in Brazilian cities.
In terms of ergonomics, the motorcycle measures approximately 1,843 mm in length, 727 mm in width, and 1,031 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 1,238 mm.
The seat height is accessible at 745 mm, suitable for most urban riders.
The wide seat and simple analog panel, which features reserve and high beam indicator lights, reinforce the model’s proposal for simplicity and functionality.
Competitive Price Around R$ 10,000
According to data collected in June 2025, the manufacturer’s suggested price for the Honda Pop 110i ES is around R$ 9,690, excluding freight and taxes.
However, market practice indicates that the dealership price is closer to R$ 9,900 to R$ 10,000, reflecting recent adjustments and logistical costs.
This price keeps the Pop as Honda’s most economical option, positioning it ahead of direct competitors and even its own CG 160, which has a higher cost.
Consumer Opinion About the New Pop 110i ES
Despite the focus on fuel efficiency, many users point out that the motorcycle has seen a decline in efficiency, as previous versions could achieve around 60 km/l, while the new model has stabilized around 49 km/l.
Still, the Pop is recognized as a reliable motorcycle, easy to maintain, and very economical, attributes that make it perfect for basic urban mobility.
However, there are frequent criticisms regarding its limited performance, basic comfort, and reduced safety, especially due to retaining the drum brake system and a simple structure that does not keep up with the technological advancements present in other models.
Popular Motorcycle in Transformation in the Face of the Future of Mobility
The Honda Pop 110i ES 2025 reflects the trend of updating Brazilian popular motorcycles to comply with stricter environmental regulations and the profile of consumers seeking economy, practicality, and low maintenance costs.
Even with limitations, the motorcycle remains one of the most affordable on the market, ideal for those who need a reliable means of transportation for daily use, without luxuries or advanced technologies.
Do you think the Honda Pop 110i ES can really challenge the leadership of the CG 160 in the Brazilian market? What aspects do you consider most important when choosing a popular motorcycle for the city?
