Orange! 2026 New "Daks 125" to be Launched in Europe with a Completely Revised Color Scheme

Honda has announced the 2026 model year of its ST125 Dax minibike, which continues the basic specifications compliant with the EURO5+ regulations addressed in the 2025 model year, while adding two new body colors. No changes are made to the vehicle body or engine, and the familiar character is maintained, while the renewed color lineup enhances the attractiveness of the vehicle.

The only change from the 2025 model year is the addition of new colors

The biggest topic for the 2026 ST125 Daks is the addition of a new color. Two new colors, Pearl Horizon White and Candy Energy Orange, have been added, and the existing Pearl Shining Black color lineup has been updated with new graphics, making a total of three colors available. Pearl Horizon White and Candy Energy Orange are new colors for the 2026 model year, with bright, playful coloring that further emphasizes the pop impression typical of Daks. Pearl Shining Black, on the other hand, has a subdued atmosphere and continues to be a standard color for a wide range of customers. There are no changes from the 2025 model year in terms of body structure or equipment, and other than the color, the specifications are basically the same.

The 2026 ST125 Daks is a model year update that chooses to renew the impression through color rather than mechanical evolution. The ST125 Daks is a model year renewal that does not compromise the iconic character of the Daks, while expanding the enjoyment of choosing a model. The ST125 Daks, which combines retro design with modern ease-of-use, will be available for the 2026 model year as a vehicle that expresses individuality through color, while retaining the "unchanged goodness" of the original model.

The ST125 Daks is a modern reworking of the design of the first generation model introduced in 1969, with the distinctive T-shaped pressed frame at the core of its design and construction. The fuel tank and wiring are housed inside the frame, which is both iconic in appearance and designed for practicality. The suspension features 31mm upside-down front forks and twin rear shocks, while 12-inch wheels and larger tires provide a stable ride. Brakes are disc type front and rear, and ABS is equipped. From city riding to leisure use, the bike offers reliable braking performance.

The engine is an air-cooled 124cc SOHC 2-valve single-cylinder. The four-speed transmission and centrifugal clutch are combined to eliminate the need to operate the clutch lever, making it an easy-to-ride machine. Unfortunately, no announcement has been made regarding the introduction of this model to the Japanese market. However, given the pattern of introductions from overseas to Japan, it is highly likely that the domestic Daks, which have not been updated since 2024, will also adopt this new color scheme. Riders who are interested in this color should wait for further news.
