Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners and license holders of any experience level thanks to its light weight and fully automatic transmission.
PurposeBuilt for easy urban commuting, short errands, and weaving through city traffic rather than performance riding.
Rider FitVery low seat height and light 130 kg weight make it accessible to riders of nearly any size or strength.
CharacterA practical, low-maintenance scooter that prioritizes convenience, fuel economy, and effortless daily usability over excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to highway touring, spirited cornering, two-up long distance riding, or any kind of off-road use.

2012 Honda PCX 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 761mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Honda PCX 125, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
