In December, 2021, Honda Motor Company filed a handful of designs for what appears to be a smaller-displacement NX model with the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). These were marked “registered and fully published” with EUIPO as of January 11, 2022, with an expiration date of December 17, 2026—or five years since the date of first filing.
While these design filings don’t tell us everything about Honda’s upcoming NX-series dual sport revival plans, they do give some insight into how the upcoming NX family could likely appear. The design here shows a single-cylinder engine, spoked wheels, smooth tires (not knobbies), a skid plate, handguards, a high-mounted right-side exhaust, and a rear carrier mounted behind the pillion seat.
