Honda PH unleashes Winner X, price starts at P123,900

MANILA: Honda Philippines Incorporated has finally unleashed the Winner X.

As we’ve mentioned in our previous report, the local arm of the motorcycle brand has teased the launch of a new model. Many Facebook users called the upcoming unit to be the Winner X — poised to directly compete with Yamaha Sniper.

Now posted on Honda Philippines’ website, the Winner X is offered in three variants (Standard, ABS Premium, and ABS Racing Type) with prices ranging from P123,900 to P131,900.

Honda Winner X: notable features

Powering the Honda Winner X is a 149 cubic centimeter liquid-cooled engine mated to a six-speed constant transmission. The said setup delivers 15.4 horsepower coupled with 13.5 Newton-meters of torque.

According to Honda Philippines, the said powertrain system clocks in at around 52.3 kilometers per liter based on World Motorcycle Test Cycle standards.

The said transmission system is aided by an assist and slipper clutch, which helps prevent rear tire slippage and helps the rider maneuver better with a lighter clutch mechanism.

In addition, the Honda Winner X also gets a bank angle sensor that detects the motorcycle’s bank angle. The technology — per the local arm of the Japanese motorcycle brand — automatically turns off the engine when the bank angle exceeds “70 degrees +- 50 degrees” on either side.

Further, the Honda Winner X comes with a smart key system that allows riders to start the engine and lock the handlebar using a smart electronic system. Additionally, it also comes with an anti-theft alarm and an answer-back system for increased security.

Honda Winner X: Design

The Honda Winner X is designed with an aggressive sports-style finish to give it a sharp-looking appearance with a distinctive emblem.

It also sports an all-LED setup allowing for brighter illumination and an overall longer lifespan for its headlamps, taillamps, position lamps, and turn signals.

The Honda Winner X rides on 17-inch gold cast wheels wrapped with 90/80 tires at the front and 120/70 rubbers at the rear. They are slapped with wavy disc brakes, front and back.

Visibility of relevant riding information can easily be seen on the Honda Winner X’s digital meter panel that rounds up the sporty features of the motorcycle.

Honda Winner X: available colors

The Honda Winner X can be had in a wide variety of finishes. Pearl Iceberg White and Infinity Red are available for the Standard variant while Matte Galaxy Black Metallic and Matte Meteoric Red Metallic are available for the ABS Premium trim level.

Finally, the unique and sporty-looking Infinity Red is available for the Honda Winner X ABS Racing grade.

“The All-new Winner X that is designed to let you #RideLikeAChampion is now here! This sports cub is sure to become another favorite among Filipino riders with its aggressive sports styling, powerful engine, and advanced features,” Honda wrote in a Facebook post.
