Honda EX5 Review 2024

Honda EX5 is by far the most favourite Honda bike that has impressed a large audience with cheap mobility feature. Its current version, EX5 Fi, was first launched in Malaysia in 1987 and has sold over 2 million units back then. In this span of time, Honda EX5 has also witnessed many changes and many revamped versions during all these years.

The latest 2020 version dons new graphics, layout and appeal and looks refreshingly new. It comes with two new exterior shades (Pearl Magellanic Black and Pearl Nightfall Blue), and the two new variants - cast and alloy-spoked wheel.  The wheel trim is alloy based which is surrounded by chrome headlights and there is also a rear passenger grab rail in the alloy variant.  The models are priced at RM 5,009 and RM 4,783, respectively. Under the chassis of EX5 is a 110 cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine supported by Honda’s PGM-Fi system, that has the capacity to churn out 8.6 PS of maximum power at 7,500 rpm and 8.62 Nm peak torque at 5,500 rpm.

The most prominent feature being the side panels and chrome-plated emblem on the front. Right beneath it lies the headlight assembly. The front apron is flat in design to give the rider strong protection against the winds.
