Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) recently launched the Wave RSX. According to the motorcycle brand’s local arm, the Honda Wave RSX is aimed at the company’s more mature customers. Honda also shared that the motorcycle is popular among the country’s provincial regions.
Carmudi Philippines was invited to HPI’s media test ride where we got to try out Honda’s motorcycles including the Honda Airblade 160 and the PCX160.
During the said event, HPI executives highlighted some of the key features of the Honda Wave RSX. So, join us, and let’s dive in to see what are the key features of Honda’s new small displacement motorbike.
The new Honda Wave RSX sports a new exterior that has been redesigned to look more modern. At a glance, the motorcycle has a noticeable aggressive design thanks to its sharp and angular fairings. They are complemented with similarly-designed stickers with embossed lines and an impressive sport stamp that further accentuates the motorcycle’s edgy new look.
At the rear is a sporty muffler with a thermal protector that echoes the styling cues found on the motorcycle’s body. On the other side is a full chain case cover that not only protects the motorbike’s chain but also contributes to the Honda Wave RSX’s smoother ride.
At the core of the Honda Wave RSX is a 109-cubic capacity (cc) engine that uses the more efficient Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-Fi) in lieu of the dated yet reliable carburetor. According to HPI, the technology allows the motorcycle to clock in at 67.8 kilometers per liter (kpl).
Would-be owners will not only save money on gasoline but also be spared from obsessively checking the fuel gauge every now and then, and focus on enjoying a hassle-free time on the road.
Since the Honda Wave RSX is aimed at a mature working demographic, it is equipped with features that lean toward what one needs for riding the motorcycle daily. These include a secured key shutter — that gives riders the peace of mind that their motorcycles would not be easily stolen — with a seat opener, an automatic headlight on (AHO) feature, and a bigger utility box for holding various daily necessities.
One of the strongest suits of the Honda Wave RSX is its price point. The drum brake variant of this underbone motorcycle only costs P61,900 while the disc brake-equipped model is priced at P64,900.
The former can be had in Phantom Dark Silver Metallic and Candy Caribbean Blue Sea colorways while the latter can wow clients with its Candy Rosy Red paint.
