Honda completes 2026 range updates with new colours for MSX125 Grom
Rounding out a bumper year of announcements and model upgrades for Honda is the 26YM MSX125 Grom.
The ever-popular pocket-sized fun machine is the final step of the 26YM update journey that began back in May 2025 with the overhauled CB125F.
Since then, a total of eighteen models have received colour changes, eight models have had tech updates, including an expanded DreamTech roll out of E-Clutch technology to three 500cc and two 750cc models, as well as three all-new nameplates joining the Honda line up.
The updated 26YM MSX125 Grom looks set to continue the sales successes of its predecessors. Since the Grom’s introduction in 2012, a staggering 863,289 have been sold globally with almost 618,000 sold in Thailand alone. The US accounts for another 93,000 units, whilst in Europe over 50,000 have found homes, underscoring the bike’s enduring global popularity.
Revisions for this model year are three all-new paint and livery options that accentuate and make the most of the model’s 25YM sporty redesigned body work.
The fundamentals underpinning the Grom’s enduring appeal remain unchanged – compact size, charming looks and high levels of specification and equipment. The easy-to-read, compact LCD digital instrument panel includes a rev-counter and gear position indicator, alongside the speedometer, twin trip meters, fuel gauge and clock. IMU-controlled disc braking provides an extra layer of riding confidence.
The visual charm comes with enjoyable performance and outstanding fuel economy. The 125cc, SOHC 2-valve air-cooled engine maintains usable, real-world performance, driving through a 5-speed gearbox for relaxed long-range riding and returning an incredible fuel economy of 65.7 kilometres per litre. The tried and tested chassis continues to employ its 12-inch wheels in combination with the USD suspension to offer big-bike suspension control and handling qualities in a diminutive footprint.
The 26YM MSX125 Grom will be available in the three following all-new colour options:
- **NEW** Pearl Shining Blac
- **NEW** Splendid Blue
- **NEW** Gayety Red
