Honda files design patent for NX 125 scooter in India

Honda has filed a design patent for their NX 125 scooter in India. The scooter was first released in China in 2020 and is powered by a powertrain similar to the now discontinued Grazia.

The Honda NX125 boasts a sporty, aggressive design with a front apron featuring dual-LED headlamps and sharp cuts along the bodywork, reminiscent of the made-in-India Dio 125. In terms of equipment, it gets a fully digital LCD instrument console, two small storage compartments in the front and a USB charging port, and LED tail-light and indicators.

The NX 125 is powered by an air-cooled 125cc single-cylinder engine producing 8.8hp at 7,500rpm and 9.7Nm of torque at 6,000rpm in international markets. The scooter is equipped with a telescopic fork and monoshock suspension, complemented by a front disc and rear drum brake setup. With a kerb weight of 106kg and a 6-litre fuel tank, it's lighter than the TVS NTorq.

Despite being a design patent filing, a launch isn't confirmed. Honda has previously patented several motorcycle and scooter designs, but has not followed them up with a launch. Honda is already offering the Activa and Dio in the 125cc segment. If Honda does launch the NX 125, it will rival the TVS Ntorq, and the Aprillia SR 125.
