At the heart of the 2023 Honda Dax 125 minibike, sport motorcycle, Honda relies on a 124.9 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.3 HP (6.8 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.8 Nm (8 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 74.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Dax 125 measures 104 kg (229 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.18 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,200 mm (47.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.68-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 379 km (235 miles) between fill-ups.
