Honda Announces Updated 2019 Honda PCX150, New Colors for 2019 Grom

With the introduction of the 2019 Honda PCX150, those day-to-day commutes just got a little more inspiring. Endowed with a new frame, revised intake and exhaust system, multiple comfort-enhancing features, and optional ABS, the updated PCX150 combines practicality and fun, now with a more premium feel and improved handling.

“Over the years, the PCX150 has earned a legion of followers through its mix of enjoyable performance and remarkable efficiency,” said Lee Edmunds, American Honda’s Manager of Motorcycle Marketing Communications. “For 2019, Honda has expanded on that winning formula with a long list of updates that will appeal to an expanding audience. Lighter, more comfortable, and now available with optional ABS, this latest PCX150 will turn heads wherever it goes.”

The PCX150 will be available in July 2018 and retail for $3,999 (ABS) and $3,699 (non-ABS).

In addition to American Honda announcing the 2019 CB300R and PCX150, the company has also released information on its carry-over models including 2019 Honda Grom, 2019 Honda CRF230F and 2019 Honda CRF50F. While the two CRF off-road models are unchanged, the Grom is available in a palette of new colors including Cherry Red, Blue Raspberry, Incredible Green and Halloween Orange.
