Spanning adventure touring, miniMOTO fun, urban scooters and elite trials machines, the lineup underscores Honda’s commitment to delivering memorable riding experiences for every type of rider, whether they’re crossing continents or commuting across town.

Adventure, Refined: 2026 Africa Twin

Few names in motorcycling carry the weight of the Africa Twin. For 2026, Honda’s legendary adventure platform returns with four purpose-built variations designed to satisfy both hardcore explorers and long-haul tourers.

Available in a standard version and the premium Adventure Sports ES trim, each offered with either a traditional manual transmission or Honda’s advanced Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), the Africa Twin continues to embody the brand’s “True Adventure” philosophy. It’s a machine engineered to blur the line between pavement and dirt, delivering comfort on the highway and confidence on remote backroads.

The standard Africa Twin starts at $15,199 (approx. RM71,000), while the Adventure Sports ES DCT tops the range at $18,599 (approx. RM87,000). Models arrive in February in classic Pearl White and Matte Black Metallic colorways.

Retro Reborn: miniMOTO Magic Returns

Honda’s miniMOTO lineup continues to charm a new generation while tugging at the heartstrings of longtime fans.

The 2026 Trail125 pays homage to the iconic CT models of decades past. With its timeless silhouette, fuel-efficient engine and automatic centrifugal clutch, it’s equally happy navigating city streets or wandering down a gravel road. Available in Glowing Red or Black Metallic, the Trail125 lands in April with an MSRP of $4,199 (approx. RM19,600).

The Dax 125 brings playful energy and unmistakable retro character. Its T-shaped pressed-steel frame and chunky styling channel the spirit of the original Trail 70, while a modern 123.9cc engine keeps things smooth and approachable. Finished in Pearl Black, the Dax 125 also arrives in April at $4,199.

Meanwhile, the beloved Monkey continues to mix nostalgia with surprising capability. Compact, chrome-accented and brimming with personality, the Monkey features a fuel-injected engine, five-speed transmission and ABS braking for real-world usability. It hits dealerships in March in Matte Black Metallic, priced at $4,399 (approx. RM20,500).

Big Fun, Small Price: 2026 Navi

The Honda Navi has quickly become one of America’s best-selling motorcycles—and it’s easy to see why. Blending scooter simplicity with motorcycle-inspired styling, the Navi delivers easy, affordable fun for riders of all experience levels.

Powered by a smooth 109cc engine and paired with a twist-and-go V-Matic automatic transmission, the lightweight Navi is unintimidating, practical and incredibly budget-friendly. Non-painted models start at just $2,199 (approx. RM10,300), with painted options at $2,349 (approx. RM11,000). Available in February, the Navi continues to be one of the most accessible entry points into motorcycling.

Urban Edge: PCX and ADV160

Honda’s scooter lineup remains as strong as ever, with two distinct personalities leading the charge.

The 2026 PCX stands out as a sleek and sophisticated urban commuter. With Honda Selectable Torque Control, generous under-seat storage, LED lighting and a USB-C charging port, it blends premium touches with everyday practicality. Finished in Pearl Gray, the PCX arrives in April at $4,349 (approx. RM20,300).

For riders who want their commute with a side of adventure, the 2027 ADV160 pushes scooter boundaries. With its 157cc engine, long-travel suspension, ample ground clearance and rugged ADV-inspired styling, the ADV160 is built to handle rougher roads while maintaining everyday efficiency. It lands in June in Matte Black Metallic, priced at $4,499 (approx. RM21,000).

Trials Excellence: 2026 Montesa Cota

For those who thrive on balance, precision and technical terrain, the Montesa Cota platform returns sharper than ever. Developed through years of elite competition and shaped by input from world champion Toni Bou, these trials machines are purpose-built for conquering the most demanding sections.

The Cota 4RT 260R offers an accessible yet competition-proven package at $9,849 (approx. RM46,000), while the range-topping Cota 4RT 301RR, finished in Light Green, delivers peak performance for serious competitors at $12,949 (approx. RM60,500). Both arrive in February, ready to tackle rocks, logs and gravity-defying obstacles.
