Honda has officially unveiled the Super Cub 110 Lite, a new model designed to meet the recently revised standards for Class 1 Motorized Bicycles in Japan.

Focusing on agility, practicality, and urban efficiency, the Super Cub 110 Lite was developed to offer the ideal balance between performance and regulatory compliance.

The model is equipped with a 110 cc engine tuned for a maximum output of 3.7 kW (5.0 hp), meeting the new legal requirements for motorcycles in this class — which include vehicles with displacement over 50 cc and up to 125 cc, provided the power does not exceed 4.0 kW (5.44 hp).

According to Honda, the new Super Cub 110 Lite delivers significant improvements in power and torque compared to the traditional Super Cub 50 series equipped with a conventional engine. The result is smoother acceleration, quicker throttle response, and a more enjoyable riding experience in urban traffic.

Visually faithful to the Cub’s classic styling, the model retains the retro design that has charmed generations, now combined with modern technology and compliance with the latest environmental and licensing regulations.

The Super Cub 110 Lite emerges as an ideal option for those seeking an economical, practical means of transportation with the unmistakable charm of the legendary Cub — a symbol of Japanese urban mobility for more than six decades.

According to Japanese regulations, motorcycles between 50 cc and 125 cc with a maximum power of up to 4.0 kW can be operated with a Class 1 License. If the output exceeds this limit, a Limited Regular Motorcycle License or higher is required.
