Honda announced the launching the Grom, a two-wheeled moped sports model with unique styling and nimble performance, on Thursday, March 25, 2021, with a completely redesigned engine and exterior.
The new 123cc, air-cooled, four-stroke, OHC, single-cylinder engine was developed for this model. The new engine features a higher compression ratio and low friction technology throughout, resulting in both increased maximum output and outstanding environmental performance. In addition, a five-speed transmission with an optimized gear ratio has been adopted to handle a wide range of situations, from city driving to short tours. The new model pursues the fun of handling as a sports model.
The exterior has been redesigned with a playful, chunky styling. The side view is accentuated by circular garnishes around the cowl mounting bolts and LED headlights with a strong presence. The wheels feature five spokes for a more agile feel. The cowl and side covers are simple and easy to remove for easy maintenance and customization.
Standard suspension features include single-channel ABS that contributes to a sense of security when braking. The digital meter has been enhanced with a gear position indicator and a REV indicator for enhanced usability.
Two body colors will be available: Force Silver Metallic with distinctive yellow accents and Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic for a more subdued look that looks great on the street.
