The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

The Honda PCX150 has long been a favorite because it just gets so many things right. Big enough to carry you and a passenger with ease. Small enough to park just about anywhere, zip through traffic, and return some positively astounding fuel efficiency. And this year, we’ve totally revamped the PCX150, making it better in every way!

First, there’s improved engine output, using a design that reduces internal friction and with new intake and exhaust systems to boost power. And that engine is connected to our Honda V-Matic transmission, so there’s no need to shift, ever—just twist the throttle and go. The 2.1-gallon fuel tank is under the floorboards, for a low center of gravity. And an entirely new steel frame uses a duplex-cradle design rather than the more common “underbone” style for better handling. Plus, the PCX150 is loaded with features like a larger underseat compartment to haul groceries, spare clothing, or almost anything else you need to take along. And you can even get a version with our anti-lock braking system (ABS), a great pick for just about everyone.

So lose the transportation hassles, and start moving on a 2019 Honda PCX150!

I wonder what they did to save on weight.

I'm gonna guess the "entirely new" "duplex-cradle" frame is lighter than the old "underbone" design and this article by RideApart says it has lighter rims: https://rideapart.com/articles/new-2019 ... 0-revealed

I'm most excited about the ABS feature - I don't want to start an ABS debate here but I'm getting a scooter for GG Jr. and I would feel better if he had ABS. I'm guessing the top speed will stay about the same or maybe even go down slightly. Despite the supposed power improvement and slight weight savings the rear tire's circumference is down by 2.2% and normally that would lower the top speed I think.

I actually like the color - the Bright Bronze Metallic reminds me of the Laguna Gold Metallic on the first Honda I ever owned, a 1989 Acura Integra. I found a pic of one like mine below.

I remember those Integras. I still have my original '95 Civic EX with the VTEC 1.6 liter engine and less than 100K miles on it. It's an antique now but runs great. Automatic with 4 doors and moon roof.

BTW I wanted to thank you for putting your PCX video review on YouTube a couple of years ago. I watched it a few times before I bought mine. Homie did some great videos also on maintenance and valve clearance checks.
