2025 Honda Dax 125 in Pearl Glittering Blue

Fans of the Honda Trail 70 of the 1970s will appreciate the 2025 Honda Dax 125, a new miniMoto with retro inspiration but created with modern technology and features. The Dax 125 joins other miniMotos in Honda?s lineup, like the Grom, Monkey, Super Cub, and Trail125.
