Honda US announces return of 2 Powersports models next year

The US arm  of Honda’s motorcycle division has released its final new-product announcement of the 2021 calendar year confirming the return of two Powersports models — the Super Cub C125 ABS miniMoto and the FourTrax Recon multipurpose ATV.

The former gets several updates, including a new, more efficient engine and reduced weight, meeting the demands of the modern miniMoto rider. The latter, on the other hand, offers the ideal balance between versatility and affordability.

The Super Cub C125 ABS miniMoto is fitted with a 124cc air-cooled 80-degree single-cylinder four-stroke engine mated to a four-speed semiautomatic transmission. Stopping power comes from a 220mm single two-piston hydraulic caliper disc brake (with ABS) at the front and a 110mm mechanical leading trailing brake at the rear.

It retains its retro Super Cub looks but benefits from the new engine giving the bike increased power and better efficiency. Honda also said that the overall weight of the motorcycle was reduced by almost one kilogram, proving that even an all-time classic can be improved upon.

The Super Cub C125 ABS miniMoto will be sold in US dealerships with a sticker price tag of US$3,799 and will be offered only in Matte Gray Metallic.

Meanwhile, the returning FourTrax Recon offers versatility that’s ideal for work or play. The FourTrax Recon is Honda’s lightest multipurpose ATV and is powered by a 229cc air-cooled longitudinally-mounted single-cylinder four-stroke engine mated to either a five-speed manual foot-shift transmission or a five-speed manual push-button Electric Shift Program (ESP).

The FourTrax Recon uses an independent double-wishbone suspension at the front and a swingarm with a single shock setup at the rear. They are paired with 130mm dual-sealed hydraulic drum brakes at the front and 140mm single-sealed mechanical drum brakes at the rear.

As we’ve briefly covered above, the FourTrax Recon comes in two variants, the Recon ES and Recon. They will be sold in the US with US$4,749 and US$4,499 price tags respectively. The FourTrax Recon ATV will be offered in three colors: Red, Moose Brown, and Orange Zest.
