Honda Unveils CGX 150 Neo-Retro Roadster Ahead of Official Launch

Honda has unveiled the CGX 150, a new retro roadster, ahead of its official launch. This motorcycle perfectly combines vintage aesthetics with enhanced performance, boasting a retro design paired with amazing features. Fitted with a 150cc engine, the CGX 150 promises a well-balanced combination of power and performance, particularly for city riders. Its sleek design, minimal display, LED lighting, digital display and other advanced features make it appealing to both traditional and modern bike enthusiasts. 
 

Highlights:

• Official reveal is expected next month
• Set to launch first in China
• Unlikely to launch in India

Images of Honda’s soon-to-be-released miniature café racer have hit the internet ahead of its official launch. Called the CGX 150, the motorcycle will be unveiled next month and will be available in dealerships in early 2025. Initially, the CGX 150 would only be available in China, but Honda China's subsidiary Wuyang Honda could expand the model to other markets later. 
 

Distinct Variants and Shared Technical Features 

The Honda CGX 150 will be available in three variants, including a café racer and two roadsters with both slightly different configurations. Unique features like bar-end mirrors, a red frame, red seats, pillion seat armour, and a stylish blue and white colour scheme distinguish the cafe racer model. Interestingly, it is equipped with cross-spoke wheels, unlike roadster variants, which will be available with traditional spoke wheels. The Roadster variants feature a more straightforward design with traditional mirrors, a long, flat seat, a single-tone colour scheme, and conventional spoke wheels. 

All the variants share the same technical features. The CGX features a 149cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that delivers around 12bhp and a top speed of 98km/h. Built with a single-cradle frame, it rides on 17-inch wheels and is supported by front telescopic forks and dual springs. Braking is controlled by a single disc at both ends, paired with single-channel ABS. Weighing in at just 128kg (kerb), it is typical for a 150cc motorcycle, making it lighter and faster. 
 

While the Honda CGX 150 looks interesting on paper, it is unlikely to make it to the Indian markets. Honda has largely maintained a conservative approach with its portfolio, and a small cafe racer may not be well-suited to the Indian market.
