Engineered by Honda for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2012 Honda PCX utilizes a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 52.4 x 57.9 mm (2.1 x 2.3 inches) with a 11.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the PCX measures 127 kg (280 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 759 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,306 mm (51.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.06-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.14 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 283 km (176 miles) between fill-ups.
