Honda's Iconic series is a small fun leisure bike with Honda's unique modern and retro style and ease of handling by modernly recreating a symbolic model in Honda Motorcycle history. Monkey125, CT125, and C125 are sold in Korea. Honda Korea adds a unique style of ST125 (DAX) to this, providing a wide range of options for beginners in motorcycles as well as customers looking for unique everyday communicators.
ST125 (DAX), which will be introduced for the first time in Korea, is a leisure bike that anyone can enjoy easily under the concept of "We like Dax & Relax." It catches the eye with minimal and unrivaled styling, and employs an automatic centrifugal four-stage return clutch that anyone can ride comfortably without burden. In addition, a double seat is applied as a basic specification for comfortable tandem driving.
ST125's nickname Dax is derived from the fact that it resembles a dog species called "Dachshund" with short legs and long body. A T-shaped press frame reminiscent of a dachshund was applied, and a dachshund-shaped logo and a Dax alias logo were also attached to the side to solidify its identity. When turned on, the TFT meter showed a dog-inspired wink motion, allowing ST125 (DAX) to be felt as a rider's companion beyond simple means of transportation.
In addition, the retro sensibility was further enhanced with circular headlights, circular LCD meters, straight up mufflers and chrome details. On top of that, the tank lease design with the tank built into the frame and the position lamp placed around the upward and downward lights added modernity. In particular, LED lights were adopted for all equalizers to increase visibility.
The power unit is equipped with a 124cc air-cooled short-cylinder engine designed to meet the enhanced environmental regulation Euro 5+ (EURO 5+), performing 9.4/7,000 (ps/rpm) and a maximum torque of 1.1/5,000 (kgm/rpm). In particular, the same automatic centrifugal clutch and four-speed mission as the supercurve allow easy shift without operating the clutch lever, so anyone can enjoy riding without burden. In addition, it provides a refreshing driving sensation with a bouncy beat and intuitive throttle response in low-medium speed areas.
ST125 (DAX) is designed with the aim of providing a rider with stable and pleasant driving. With a low seat height of 778mm, it provides a comfortable riding position by increasing the landing ability, and a double seat with two-person tandem riding is basically employed. Disc brakes are installed on spoke wheels, and one-channel ABS and wide tires linked with three-axis IMU are employed to enhance driving safety in various environments.
When purchasing ST125 (DAX), you can also purchase four additional accessories with practicality such as grip heater, USB charger, saddle bag, and rear carrier.
The first ST125 (DAX) to be introduced in Korea is a new Honda Iconic series model with unique design and Honda's identity, said Lee Ji-hong, CEO of Honda Korea. "It is a model that anyone can enjoy without burden, and we expect it to be an attractive option as a fashion item and daily companion that can express rider's personality, not just a means of transportation."
ST125 (DAX) is priced at 4.78 million won (including VAT) and comes in three colors: pearl black, pearl gray, and blue. For more information, check the official website of Honda Korea Motorcycle or contact your nearest Honda Motorcycle official dealer and vendor.
Meanwhile, Honda Korea will hold a commemorative customer presentation event at the same time as the full-fledged sale of ST125 (DAX) in early April. Customers who visit the official Honda Motorcycle dealer and store to receive ST125 (DAX) purchase consultation and complete QR survey responses will receive ST125 (DAX) keyring, and Starbucks 10,000 won coupons will be given to the first 1,000 customers who complete the test drive.

The customer gift event can be participated in duplicate, and in the case of ST125 (DAX) keyring, the event ends when the gift in the store is exhausted.
