PCX as the new generation of Honda's global strategic vehicle for commuting

The name PCX comes from "Personal Comfort Scooter".

The model was originally mainly aimed at the Southeast Asian market, although it is a global strategic model, but it has a 14-inch big front wheel, and the displacement is only 125CC.

At that time, under the influence of the Japanese exhaust law, PCX was mainly marketed as a 125CC luxury scooter, and the 150CC PCX was mainly aimed at the European market.

First, look at the PCX (125CC) changes

Equipped with a new 4-valve engine ESP+, throttle body diameter expanded from Φ 26 to 28, newly designed intake/exhaust system, increased horsepower by 0.27 due to the above improvements, expanded pulley size and modified clutch shape, soft connecting handlebars, rear disc brakes, and front wheel ABS, equipped with traction control system, seat capacity expanded from 2.4L to 30.4L, increased front and rear tire sizes and reduced rear wheel size to 13 inches, increased rear axle travel reduced by 10mm

The change to the PCX160/KF47 is an increase in displacement by 7cc to 156cc/ 15.8hp

The biggest feature of this model is the new engine eps+.

By increasing the aperture and expanding the area, it has 4 valves and increases the cooling efficiency by injecting oil into the rear of the piston, thereby increasing the compression ratio.

125: Cylinder diameter Φ52.4,mm→53.5mm, stroke 57.9→55.5mm, compression ratio 11.0→11.5

160: Cylinder diameter Φ57.3mm→60.0mm, stroke 57.9→55.5mm, compression ratio 10.6→12.0

The purpose of this improvement is not just to increase power output, but to improve fuel efficiency, power output and quietness.

In general, the PCX is still a relatively comfortable and high-end model among commuter motorcycles
