2022 Honda Super Cub 125 Update | What's New?

Following on from doing a quick overview of the Honda Monkey 125 updates for 2022, I thought I’d mention the 2022 Honda Super Cub 125 update as well, to show what's new.

Both these models go Euro5 in 2022, meaning availability on the European market, in a win for all those who need that compliance on their motorcycles.

The big change is of course in the engine department as a result, with the new Super Cub 125 to run the C110 bottom end, with a redesigned crankcase, and the two-valve cylinder head and top-end found on the latest edition Euro5 Honda Grom.

Bore and stroke is 50 by 63.1 mm, and a compression ratio of 10:1, while power is a slight increase to 7.2 kW in total, and torque peaking at 10.4 Nm. According to Honda that offers a smoother, more powerful and more efficient engine overall.

Part of the package is a new airbox, new connecting tube and new injector position. The exhaust is also updated, despite no visible changes, with two catalysers replaced with a single more efficient catalyser. To match the ECU has also been reprogrammed, while output from the Alternating Current Generator is increased.

Unlike on the Monkey, the gearbox on the Super Cub retains a four-speed gearbox, with neutral found at the bottom rather than between first and second, and there’s an automatical centrifugal clutch, with a traditional gear selector for at a standstill.

Like the Monkey the Super Cub offers 1.5 L /100 km, with a much smaller fuel tank capacity of 3.7 L which is still good for 250 km.

The Super Cub naturally retains that almost scooter-like contained bodywork, including leg guards but without floor boards, for a very clean overall style, while foot pegs and the pillion seat are standard fitment in 2022.

This is also seen on the headlight and controls, which are all integrated, with forged tapered bars and the instruments also incorporated all in one. Lighting is LED, with that dash running an analogue speedo and warning lights in the outer and an inner digital display, separated by chrome rings, for a neo-retro kind of design.

Like the Honda Monkey, the key has a button which will flash the bike’s lights, with an immobiliser also fitted and matched to the key.

The steel backbone frame continues, with new mounting hangers for the redesigned crankcases, and the ‘bars and seat are rubber mounted, with the footpegs also running rubber inserts.

The Super Cub is a little heavier than the Monkey at 110 kg, and runs a longer wheelbase at 1245 mills, with 17 inch die-cast aluminium wheels, a 70 by 90 front and 80 by 90 rear. There’s dual twin rear shocks and telescopic forks, with 100 mm of travel, while a 220 mm front disc brake is run alongside a single-piston caliper. The rear drum is a 110 mm unit in comparison.
