PCX
The PCX is a newly designed water-cooled, 4-stroke, 4-valve, 124cc single-cylinder engine “eSP +” realizes improved output. And further fuel efficiency in a newly designed frame pursues light handling and ease of handling in daily life.
Engine
The front and rear disc brakes come with 1-channel ABS operate only on the front as standard equipment. And Honda Selectable Torque Control is newly adopted.
Frame
Which contributes to a sense of security on slippery road surfaces. It is a two-kind moped scooter has both a high level of environmental friendliness.
4 valve cylinder head
Besides, we have enhanced the equipment is easy to use. Such as adopting a luggage box with expanded capacity. And equipping it with a “USB socket” is convenient for charging mobile terminals.
PCX160
The PCX160 is based on the PCX and expands the engine displacement to 156cc to achieve more robust and comfortable driving performance.
Comfortable riding position
It is a light motorcycle scooter provides plenty of room and fulfilment in a wide range of driving situations, from operating in the city to commuting via the highway and touring to the suburbs.
ECU
PCX e: HEV
The PCX e: HEV adopts a hybrid system based on the PCX, using a high-power lithium-ion battery as an energy source.
And adding a drive assist function to the ACG starter (motor) is responsible for starting the engine and generating power.
Hybrid system
\It is a two-kind scooter with a moped. By combining the newly designed engine “eSP +” with improved output with an assist by a motor.
Torque comes improved in the low rev range, and agile throttle response and high power performance come realized while maintaining high quality such as quietness.

Main features PCX / PCX160 / PCX e: HEV
Newly designed engine “eSP +” achieves both high output and environmental performance.
- It has achieved high output by expanding the valve area by increasing the valve mechanism to 4 valves. And increasing the intake efficiency of the air-fuel mixture and the exhaust efficiency of the combustion gas.
- Furthermore, in addition to reducing the sliding resistance and increasing the compression ratio by shortening the stroke of the cylinder inner diameter x stroke.
- The piston injects engine oil to the backside of the piston enables efficient cooling and advancement of the ignition timing. It contributes to the improvement of output by adopting an oil jet.
- By adopting a hydraulic cam chain tensioner lifter, both friction reduction and noise and vibration suppression come achieved at the same time.
