Honda Motor Co., Ltd. will release the off-road model "Honda MTX125R" on November 15th. The new model is equipped with a newly designed water-cooled, two-stroke, 124cc single-cylinder engine that incorporates know-how gained from motocross races both in Japan and overseas, as well as Honda's unique ATAC (Automatic Adjusting Torque Amplification Exhaust System)
The MTX125R has a high power performance of 18PS/7500rpm, 145hp per liter, and the revolutionary ATAC system automatically changes the exhaust volume according to the engine speed, giving it power at high speeds and a flat torque characteristic at low speeds, which is hard to believe for a two-stroke engine. This allows for smooth riding from low to high speeds.
The powerful form of the bike, which has the image of a motocrosser, is also lightweight (99kg dry weight) and compact, with a power-to-weight ratio of 5.5kg per horsepower, giving it a powerful ride. It also features a Pro-Link rear suspension, which is popular for its excellent road-following ability, a front air-assisted suspension with Honda's unique fork mechanism, and a 6-speed transmission with a wide gear ratio. While ensuring a road clearance of 285mm, the bike's slim body makes it easy for the rider to reach the ground, and its large seat is designed to provide a free riding position, giving it excellent off-road performance and allowing the rider to enjoy a variety of sporty riding styles, from driving in urban areas to forest road touring.
