T is for traction control , google , as important as ABS and I think a Honda first on a scooter. Traction balances rotation of each wheel. ABS means brakes wont lock up. The A is idling cut out , the default position is ON , which means when the bike is stopped , say at traffic lights , the engine will cut out to save fuel. When you twist the throttle again it will start and move off instantly because it works from the alternator not the starter motor. Another Honda first. I have this bike a 2022 model here in France . Im 80 years. The best machine Ive ever owned in my life. Love it . Enjoy.
I purchased a pcx 3 weeks ago and I have been waiting for a video of a full review of the bike showing everything this is the best I’ve seen thank you very much my pcx is coming the start of next month I can’t wait
Brilliant video ! And such a nice looking pcx in black I think that’s the colour I’d go for, are the new ones now with rear disk as they use to be drum ?
Bought a 2023 pcx and regret it, the bike was new, the problem is when im riding straight the handle seems to be pointing a bit to the right, it also feels like the bikes leaning to the right when going straight.
I have two (1x 2015mod, 1x 2017 mod). In fact, so cheap fuel consumption, so agility, so low exhaust sound, so low weight : beter than my Forza 300 2019 mod. I like my Forza 300 on highways but I love my PCX in the city ( like a border collie into sheep herd).😛✌️
Thanks for the review, not many English TH-cam videos on honda pcx 2021. I'm still waiting for my honda pcx 2021 to arrive. Paid my deposit to my honda dealer 3 months ago but honda pcx 2021 still haven't arrived in the UK yet but rest of Europe it has arrived. 🤔 I'm really jealous that in Asia and in the states you guys are getting glossy elegant black colour which looks absolutely classy. In Europe we are are getting matt black and it looks like the paint is unfinished. 😏 Thank you once again, ride safe and have loads of fun mate. 😎
Hang in there, mine was ordered back in early February and arrived at the dealer a few days ago (in UK). I collect after all the paperwork/checks have taken place on 29th April. Can't wait!
Hey man, I'm also purchasing my Pcx in the next weeks, and I'm also in Europe (Greece), I think the matte black looks absolutely fantastic and more elegant! I might as well say I find it better! Take care.
Good overview of the features 👍🏼 I rode the PCX a lot when I lived in Asia. Great scooter! Now that I’m back in the States, I’m gonna buy one as my daily commuter. Amazing gas mileage & nice under-seat storage make it perfect for around town & city riding, but it can also handle longer rides too. 🛵 💨
Caught between this and the new forza 125cc Does the compartment with the usb c charger lock when you lock the handle bars ? Or is that only on the forza
This is a really nice colour. I purchased a pcx yesterday here in Germany, also in black. But in Germany they only sell the pcx in matt black which is a shame. Still excited though
I had a 2018 pearl white . Then bought a 2022 here in France wanted a white but they only had matt black in stock here in France . But it looks fantastic you wont be disappointed I promise. I then discovered this matt black seems to throw off the dirt , hardly need to wash it.
hi james. what i can say is , great brand,great price and great job on in selecting this vechile. drive safe and be sure you get yourself a body airbag vest.
@@Dabo8387 Oui, juste au-dessus du guidon, il y a une ouverture qui permet à l’eau de passer. Voulez-vous que je fasse une vidéo pour vous montrer ce que je veux dire. Je suppose que nous parlons de la même chose.
Just bought this and your comment made me laugh, i didnt realize it but i totally agree with you. its a amazing machine so far but couldn't put my finger on the old school feel of exposed wires. they ARE sooooo dated. but i still think its a incredible machine!
I've got a 2018 pcx, I'm thinking about getting this. My only thing is I'd the steering lock?? Can you take it off without the key been in range, so anyone can take it off and push it away??
The 2021 PCX uses a smart key and once the steering is in locked position, there is no way to move the position without the smart key being in range . I should say that when the steering isn’t locked and let’s say that the smart key is out of range, The bike itself is heavy to push forward! Not only due to the weight but because of the activation which releases the brake. I think this version of PCX is the best!
I bought a new PCX 125 a month ago in Japan, I ride 600km but I notice from beginning a lot of vibration when it's idlin, especially on the handlebar, and more when the front brake is pressed. I owned a 2015 version and I have not notice this vibration. Is it the same with yours ? I ask the retailer when I went for the 1 month maintenance, but they just said that is normal don't worry. I have also brake oil level under the lower position, but for them it's normal ... I insisted to add some oil, they finally did it. Since that I don't trust them ... By the way, do you know what is the electronic noise from front of the bike when we starting to move (0-10km/h), same noise produce when I bump on the road. Thanks for the help !
I just discovered your message and I am very sorry for not getting back to you earlier! You mentioned electronic noise, I have not heard that before! So you went to your dealer for a checkup and they said that it was nothing to worry about? I own a 2021 PCX and had a 2014 model before and never noticed that sound you are concerned about. The only possible sound that I can think of is when you go over a bump such as leaving a parking lot going onto an uneven surface, that will trigger a strange sound. I don't know the exact answer to this but I believe the scooter is recalibrating it's shocks or electric system. I goes away right after. As for the oil, your dealer may give you free oil or say that you have enough because they want to save time. Adding oil for them means they need to flush out the old oil and put in new oil. They follow a schedule due to how new your bike is. I hope this has helped you. Since you live in Japan, please check out my other YT channel called WOW THAT'S JAPAN 2. th-cam.com/users/WOWThatsJapan Good luck!

Good choise. They are better than yamaha's versions
Oil and air filter service video will be helpful 🙂
Cool colour love it! 🙂 Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
I’m waiting for my PCX to arrive at my dealership. It’s been five weeks since I ordered it. I’m like a child before Christmas!
It's going to be great when you get it! Enjoy it!
I live in Bali bought my PCX in January, love it,I'm 188 cms and it's like I'm sitting in my lounge chair, mines the new matte red, it's a 160
Even better! Enjoy it!
Brilliant video ! And such a nice looking pcx in black I think that’s the colour I’d go for, are the new ones now with rear disk as they use to be drum ?
Thank you! The rear disk brake is standard these days for the newer PCX.
T is traction control you should turn it off most of the time.
Thanks far a great video. I've just received my pcx125 this morning 👍🏴
Thanks for checking out my video! Have fun riding it!
Getting mine of Monday in red colour ☺️! Can’t wait to drive it
That is an awesome colour to get! Enjoy!
Great review ❤️
🙏
Great feature is the rear brake disk, in europe the PCX doesn't have brake disc, is by drum.
But at least it has the combi brakes right?
The NEW japanese version got rid of it, so there is no longer "braking with one hand".
@@hidazip That's correct, combi brakes.
Japanese version won having ABS at the 2 wheels. But, is a great scooter, maybe the best of the market.
@@GoFilipe81 Sadly, the ABS is only for the front wheel. But the traction control helps, so it wont slip.
@@hidazip Good to know that ;)
On my PCX 2015 model, engine couple is 12 Nm at 5000 rpm and not like PCX 2021 11,8 Nm at 6500 rpm. Mod 2015 is beter for 2,1-2,3 l/100km max.
Very detail, thank you,
Bought a 2023 pcx and regret it, the bike was new, the problem is when im riding straight the handle seems to be pointing a bit to the right, it also feels like the bikes leaning to the right when going straight.
Sorry to hear that! You should take it back to the dealership and get it checked.
I rode my neighbor’s PCX. I want one. She has it in white. I want the black one you purchased.
Go for it!
I have two (1x 2015mod, 1x 2017 mod). In fact, so cheap fuel consumption, so agility, so low exhaust sound, so low weight : beter than my Forza 300 2019 mod. I like my Forza 300 on highways but I love my PCX in the city ( like a border collie into sheep herd).😛✌️
May we know the power of engine is this 150cc of Honda PCX!? The size of body built is very ideal easy to maneuver not too heavy!!
125
Are those Michelin tires stock from factory? I have the 160cc version.

Love it but is the steering wheel not a bit '80s. Pitty that they dIdn't cover up those cables like the Yamaha NMAX. Otherwise a perfect scooter!

If you loose your key, you can't get under your seat to the secret key compartment
Correct unless you lose your spare key as well. However there is always a way to get under the seat.

One question.
Is it possible to remove the back rest keeping the silver holding bars, and attatch a box on top of it?
Of course it is! The back rest was optional so if you don't want it, you can put something else in it's place.
