Honda PH touts CB150X for gearhead dads

MANILA: Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) positions the CB150X as the "ultimate dad bike, perfect for thrilling adventures and rewarding weekend explorations." 

After the recent Father's Day, HPI lists why the motorcycle is perfect for gearhead dads like CB150X owner Harjinder Nijran.

Every father wants to look good on the road, and drawing on the imposing adventure styling from the CB500X, the CB150X can turn heads.

This new ride features muscular fairing, an adventure-style under-cowl, a sturdy-looking bash plate, a tall windscreen, and a tapered handlebar and cockpit design. According to motorcycle enthusiast and businessman Harjinder Niran, even his young son is a fan of the macho design.

“Every day when I get home from work, my son would always tell me, ‘Papa, I want a ride on the new bike.’ Those words make me feel very happy and a proud dad, because I can see my son is a bike lover as well,” Nijran said. “I can visualize that someday, we will ride together, and that will be a precious moment!”

The all-new CB150X has a seat height of 817 millimeters and ground clearance of 181mm. These measurements are just right for the average Filipino rider and dads.

“I like the upright position of the handlebar to give comfort to my arms during the long rides I usually do,” Niran said. He often goes on  adventure rides to destress, chasing sights of nature and breathing in the fresh air.

In terms of performance, the CB150X is equipped with a 149cc liquid-cooled engine capable of producing 11.5kw and 13.8Nm. Riders have control of the power at all times, thanks to the bike's superior handling that enables easy cornering and banking.

To top it off, the CB150X has prime suspension (inverted front fork Showa Brand and pro-link rear) and braking (hydraulics discs’ front and rear) systems as well, making every ride simple and truly enjoyable.

Dads want to have fun without going overboard. This is an important consideration when it comes to the fuel efficiency of motorcycles. With a 38kpl fuel consumption with a bigger 12-liter fuel tank capacity, the CB150X makes for a fun yet economical ride.

“I use my all-new CB150X as my everyday bike to travel around, giving me around 38 to 40 kms per liter average, good enough for city driving,” Narin said. “I also took it to the mountains of Sierra Madre, Marilaque, and Infanta, Quezon. I love the ride of The all-new CB150X — very smooth and comfortable.” 

The CB150X is available in Honda 3S dealerships nationwide with a suggested retail price of P163,900. The ride comes in two colors: Valiant Red and Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic, with the latter color featuring an emblem and matte brown-colored engine cover, handlebar, and cast wheel for an added boost of masculine appeal.
