Character: retro shape with everyday practicality
The Dax is designed for carefree riding. Compact dimensions, an eager-revving engine and light steering already defined the original and still shape today's model. With a seat height of 775 mm, it is low and easy to get on.
The dual seat and the chrome grab rail make the Dax a two-seater. Honda quotes 90 km/h as a realistic cruising speed with two people on board, which suits town and country roads. A chain cover is also part of the package.
Engine and drive without clutch lever
From 124 cc, the air-cooled engine produces 6.9 kW and 10.8 Nm of torque. The top speed is 90 km/h, and the tank holds 3.8 litres. Honda states fuel consumption according to WMTC as around 1.6 litres per 100 km.
Power reaches the rear wheel via a four-speed gearbox. You change gear with the foot lever, while the centrifugal clutch disengages and engages automatically. Anyone moving up from a scooter thus learns to change gear without having to modulate a clutch at the same time.
