Honda launches Biz 125 2027 with alloy wheels in the ES version and new colors for the Brazilian market

The Japanese manufacturer Honda announced the arrival of the 2027 line of the Biz 125 motorcycle on the national market. The main technical change occurs in the entry-level ES configuration, which leaves the factory equipped with light alloy wheels and tubeless tires. The model arrives at dealerships from June onwards. Suggested values ​​start from R$13,505 for the basic option and reach R$16,849 in the top-of-the-line EX variant.

The vehicle has historically been among the most commercialized two-wheeled means of transport in the country. The motorcycle frequently competes for the second-leading position in the general registration ranking with the Honda Pop 110i. The introduction of structural improvements aims to adapt the product to current urban mobility requirements. The cub-type scooter segment attracts consumers looking for low maintenance costs and ease of riding on daily trips.

Configuração ES receives alloy wheels and abandons air chamber

The most substantial modification of the new crop focuses on the Honda Biz 125 ES. The automaker replaced the traditional spoked wheels with components made from light alloy. The structural change allowed the adoption of tubeless tires. The technology eliminates the need for an internal air chamber. The system already equipped the most expensive version of the family and now standardizes the assembly line.

The absence of an air chamber provides direct benefits to driver safety during traffic. The tubeless tire retains air longer in cases of punctures due to nails or debris on the road. Slow deflation reduces the risk of sudden loss of steering control. Repairing smaller holes only requires the application of an exterior sealant. The tire repairman does not need to disassemble the wheel assembly to repair the damage to the tread.

The braking system of the ES configuration remains unchanged in the model year transition. The motorcycle uses drum brakes on both the front and rear wheels. The equipment works together with CBS technology (Combined Brake System). The mechanism distributes braking force between the two axles automatically. Activating the rear pedal sends a portion of the hydraulic pressure to the front brake simultaneously.

Variante EX preserves FlexOne system and introduces new color palette

The Honda Biz EX sustains its top positioning in the range through a more comprehensive equipment package. Safety is reinforced by a 220 mm diameter front disc brake. The front optical system uses LED lamps to expand nighttime lighting capacity. The instrument panel adopts the blackout pattern. The darkened display with clear characters improves information readability in direct sunlight.

The great mechanical difference of the EX version lies in the presence of the FlexOne electronic injection system. The technology enables the engine to run on gasoline, ethanol or any mixture ratio between the two fuels. The oxygen sensor identifies the liquid present in the tank and adjusts the ignition map instantly. Flexibility allows the owner to choose the most advantageous option at the gas station pumps.

The automaker’s design department updated the paint catalog available for both configurations. The entry-level ES variant now has two external finishing options. The top-of-the-line EX option offers a wider range with four distinct shades. Dealers will make the following color options available to buyers of the 2027 line:

• Branco Perolizado (EX version exclusive)
• Azul Escuro Perolizado (EX version exclusive)
• Vermelho Metálico (EX version exclusive)
• Cinza Perolizado (new color for the EX version)
• Branco (available for ES version)
• Cinza Metálico (new color for the ES version)

Visual renewal through new colors represents a common strategy in the motorcycle industry to mark the new model year. The introduction of gray tones responds to a market trend for vehicles with a more sober appearance. The plastic fairings maintain the same aerodynamic design as previous vintages. The wide front shield continues to protect the rider’s legs against splashes and debris.

Conjunto engine delivers 9.5 horsepower and semi-automatic transmission

The powertrain of the Honda Biz 2027 did not undergo any interventions by the engineering team. The chassis houses a single-cylinder engine with 123.9 cubic centimeters of volumetric capacity. The propellant operates on a four-stroke cycle and uses ambient air flow to cool the block. The cylinder head has simple valve control. The mechanical configuration prioritizes the durability of moving parts and low fuel consumption.

Dynamic performance meets travel needs on urban roads and fast-flowing avenues. The engine develops a maximum power of 9.5 horsepower when it reaches 7,500 revolutions per minute. The maximum torque of 1.03 kgfm is available at 6,000 crankshaft revolutions. The power delivery curve favors starting from traffic lights and regaining speed on steep climbs.

Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a four-speed semi-automatic transmission. The rotary system eliminates the need for a clutch lever on the left handle. The gears are coupled centrifugally inside the crankcase. The gear pedal has a rear extension. The shape allows the driver to downshift using the heel, preserving the shoe during the daily commute.

Arquitetura chassis and cargo compartments make routine work easier

The structural base of the scooter uses a monocoque chassis made of steel tubes. The lowered architecture in the central part facilitates the boarding and disembarking of passengers of different heights. The front suspension system employs conventional telescopic forks. The rear balance works anchored to two shock absorbers with coil springs. The set absorbs the impacts caused by holes and ditches present in the paving of cities.

The dry weight declared by the manufacturer reaches 96 kilograms for both versions of the catalogue. The lightness of the mechanical assembly simplifies parking maneuvers in confined spaces. The driver has the help of a central stand for prolonged stops or maintenance on the transmission chain. The side stand remains available for quick parking. The ignition key controls the seat unlocking command.

The design of the Honda Biz 125 maintains the focus on the ability to transport small volumes in a protected manner. The compartment located under the tilting seat offers enough space to store a full-face helmet or grocery bags. The front shield features an open storage compartment for quick-access items. The panel houses a USB-C type socket. The electrical connection allows smartphones and GPS navigation devices to be recharged while the vehicle is in motion.
