The changes under the skin are those that will draw attention. Honda says that the 184.4 cc engine is now OBD2-compliant. The unit develops 17 bhp and 15.9 Nm of peak power paired with a 5-speed gearbox with a new assist and slipper clutch.
Other hardware remains unchanged for the updated 2023 model. The bike continues to get a USD fork up front and a mono-shock at the rear. Stopping power comes from petal disc brakes at the front and rear with single-channel ABS. In terms of features, the motorcycle continues to get tech such as all-LED lights and a digital instrument cluster with five levels of brightness.
