The Iconic Honda Cub
The Honda Cub has become a legendary figure in the motorcycle industry. Recognized as the top-selling motorcycle of all time, the Super Cub has achieved over 100 million sales since its debut in 1958, and remains popular to this day.
Today, the Honda Cub represents not only a practical mode of transportation but also a symbol of lifestyle. Honda has introduced various versions of the Honda Cub to cater to the preferences of individuals from different backgrounds. Whether it's for stylish riders, daily commuters, or practical workers, Honda Cubs come in various forms. There's the classic Super Cub and the rugged Hunter Cub designed for off-road adventures.
Recently, Honda unveiled a new addition to the Cub family in China: the Cross Cub CC110. Positioned between the Super Cub and the Hunter Cub, the Cross Cub CC110 is a crossover model. It combines elements of both on- and off-road styling, featuring rugged accessories like a headlight guard, fork gaiters, knobby tires, and increased ground clearance. The Cross Cub promises an exciting ride in the city and hints at its potential for grand adventures.
The Cross Cub CC110 is equipped with a small single-cylinder 110cc engine producing eight horsepower. Honda has included a kickstarter to add a touch of nostalgia to this charming bike. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel through a four-speed transmission, allowing for a claimed top speed of 85 kilometers per hour (52.8 miles per hour) to navigate through urban environments swiftly.
It's important to note that the Cross Cub CC110 appears to be exclusive to the Chinese market in this particular configuration. Priced at 13,000 Yuan (approximately $1,800 USD), it offers great value for a two-wheeled vehicle. For comparison, the Super Cub C125 in the US is priced at $3,899 USD.
For enthusiasts who appreciate classic-themed motorcycles, models like the Honda Monkey, Yamaha Fazzio, and the Honda Super Cub are highly popular in the Philippines. Their retro charm sets them apart from the typical commuter scooters seen on the roads.
