PCX Models

Post by PKrellner »

Maybe maddiedog can answer this question. I'm curious about the different PCX models. The forum (on the very top of the page) says information for the 2011-2013 Honda PCX 125, Honda PCX ESP and Honda PCX 150. Where does the ESP fit in? Mine is a PCX 150 and the side also says ESP. Or is that 3 specific models? Like I said, just curious.

The 150 is newer and only came as an ESP, whereas the 125 original model (that I have) didnt have ESP until a couple of years or so later when they brought out a 125 ESP version.

eSP = Enhanced Smart Power.

It relates to the revised engine used in the newer PCX 125 and 150

There have been three model runs of the PCX:

1. The original Honda PCX 125. It's a good, solid bike that gets good economy and speed.
2. The Honda PCX 125 eSP. It's a good bike, but it's a bit underpowered compared to the original 125. It gets the best fuel economy of all models.
3. The Honda PCX 150. This one's the best PCX model, in my opinion. It's built on eSP (so you could call it the PCX 150 eSP if you wanted), so it gets great economy, but has even more power than the original PCX 125. Most PCX 150s get the same or better economy than the original PCX 125.

Hope that clears it up further. ;)
