2015 Honda Lead EX Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2015 Honda Lead EX features a 107 cc (6.5 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9 HP (6.6 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.3 Nm (6.9 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 84.1 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,250 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 Lead EX measures 120 kg (265 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (13.33 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,275 mm (50.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.5-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
