Otto Bike l 2019 Honda PCX150 Chassis Overview - The PCX150 starts out on a steel duplex frame that contributes to its six-pound weight loss from the previous generation. It pushes the seat height up a bit to 30.1 inches off the ground and allows the rear suspension to be moved back for a longer stroke. Upgraded and stiffer tri-rate springs support the rear end and dampen the motion of the swing-mount drive system, and the suspension gets a little more help from the lightened 14-inch wheels that help reduce unsprung weight. A set of 31 mm forks support the front on 2.42 inches of travel with 3.33 inches of travel from the dual rear shocks.

Speaking of shocks; I’m a little shocked that Honda still clings to the rear drum brake. C’mon guys, it’s the 21st century, and lack of a rear disc in this day and age is almost as bad as Harley-Davidson’s’s lack of traction control. The 220 mm front disc takes care of business by doing the bulk of the work with ABS backup for a bit of extra safety. Tire size also got buffed with a 100/80 up front and 120/70 in back, up from 90/90 and 100/90, and those big hoops should improve handling even more.

There are a number of considerable improvements on this ride, but the factory only tacked a single Benjamin onto the tally for its trouble. The base model PCX150 rolls for $3,699, and if you fancy the ABS feature new for 2019, you’ll have to shuck out another three bills for the $3,999 sticker.
