If you're Honda, and you happen to sling some of the most popular and internationally beloved small-displacement models in the world, what do you do to keep things fresh? The answer depends on a few things. There are emissions considerations, of course; practical, if not necessarily the most fun or exciting to think about.
And then, there are the aesthetics. For the 2025 model year, Honda Motor Europe made moves to ensure that the Monkey, Dax, and Super Cub 125 are all compliant with Euro5+ emissions standards. Where necessary, it updated catalyzer, ECU settings, and even added an extra OBD2-2 sensor to the ST125 Dax to keep everything up-to-date. It's good to know, even if it isn't going to be the first piece of information that probably trips off your tongue when you tell anyone about the new Dax you just bought.
Instead, what you'll probably want to tell (or even show) people is the sweet new color that swayed you toward picking up one of these friendly little bikes for yourself. In Europe, the 2025 Honda Dax comes in not one, not two, but three distinct color choices: Pearl Shining Black, Pearl Cadet Grey, and Pearl Glittering Blue.
