2022 Honda X Blade Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's sport motorcycle platform, the 2022 Honda X Blade features a 162.7 cc (9.9 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 13.7 HP (10 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 14.7 Nm (10.8 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 84.2 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 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 X Blade measures 143 kg (315 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.44 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,347 mm (53 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
