2025 HONDA Dax 125

Off-the-leash fun

In the 1970s', the Dax (aka the CT70/Trail 70) was one of our most popular models. And now it’s back, and more fun than ever. That’s thanks to its bigger engine (the same family as in our Grom, Monkey, and Trail125), fuel injection, disc brakes, and electric starting. And with room for two, you can share the fun!

Performance

124cc fuel-injected engine

The engine is the same basic design as in our super-popular Grom, and delivers outstanding performance and reliability.

Upswept exhaust

The high exhaust system pays homage to the original trailbike roots, but is super practical too and contributes to the wide powerband.

Handling

Standard ABS

Our standard front-wheel Anti-Lock Braking System helps you ride confidently in less-than-ideal conditions, such as wet pavement or compromised road surfaces.

Front suspension

One major upgrade from the original Dax is the inverted hydraulic front fork suspension, providing better control, confidence, and road feedback.

Twin rear shocks

Twin rear shocks keep the retro vibe strong. Along with the fat 12-inch tires, they give you a smooth ride too, even over gnarly pavement.

Wide tires

The oversized 12-inch tires not only help give you a smooth ride, they work better over choppy pavement.

12-inch wheels

Tough, durable cast wheels and wide tires are perfect for city riding.

Hydraulic disc brakes

Hydraulic disc brakes (220mm front and 190mm rear) give you superior stopping power.

Engineering

Fuel capacity

All our miniMOTO bikes offer awesome fuel efficiency. You can just about fill up on pocket change, and even then you won't have to do that often.

Semi-automatic transmission

The four-speed transmission has no clutch—all you do is push up or down on our heel-toe shift lever. It’s easy, fun, and gives you control over gear choice.

Style

High-rise handlebar

The bike may be small, but the high-rise handlebar and long seat make it roomy enough for full-sized adults, no problem.

Round LED headlight

The round headlight may have a retro look, but it provides excellent visibility and illumination with its updated LED performance.

Pressed-steel frame

This is where the Dax gets its name. That long, round skinny frame on the original reminded people of a wiener dog—a dachshund—Dax for short!

Convenience

Plush seat

Long, banana seats were the thing in 1970, and for good reason: the long, wide seat gives you a plush ride and room for a passenger too.

Flip-up seat

The seat flips up to reveal the fuel filler cap. A locking seat function uses the ignition key and keeps everything secure.

Low seat height

Whether flat-footing it into a parking space or just stopping at a traffic light, the low 30.6-inch seat and light weight are a big plus.

Easy to park

Because of its small size, parking in the city is easy and winter storage is simple. There is always space for a Dax 125!

Technology

Available Accessories

Make your Dax 125 even more fun with our available Honda accessories, including a saddlebag and mounting kit, our popular rear carrier, and even a convenient USB charging port.

LED lighting package

Retro styling is cool. Retro lighting technology—not so much. That’s why you get an all-LED lighting package here: headlight, taillight, turn signals, instruments—the works.

Multi-function digital instruments

The retro-style instrument cluster houses a modern display for the speedometer, odometer, trip meters, fuel gauge, and beam indicator.
