- The Honda CT125 comes with a spartan, rugged design language with spoke wheels and dual-purpose tyres.
- It is powered by a 124cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine.
- Expect Honda to unveil the production version next year.
Honda had unveiled the CT125 moped concept at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show, and now the brand has filed an application to trademark the names ‘Hunter Cub’ and ‘Trail 125’ in the USA. Interestingly, these were the names of the mopeds sold back in the 1960s, which looked similar to the concept. With the new trademarks, it is evident the upcoming two-wheeler is likely to be the production version of the CT125 concept.
While Honda gave the moniker ‘Hunter Cub’ for the moped sold in Japan, it was called ‘Trail Cub’ in the US and Canadian markets. Honda is likely to continue the tradition and could launch the moped in both the US and Japanese markets.

The Honda CT125 Concept looks pretty close to production with barely any outlandish design/mechanical elements. So expect the production version to closely resemble the concept model.
The CT125 concept is powered by a 124cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, and the engine casing looks similar to the one on the Super Cub 125. Honda could use the Super Cub’s engine in the moped as well. It produces 9.6PS and 10.4Nm. The production version is also expected to carry over the telescopic fork with gaiters, twin shock rear shock absorbers and disc brake on both ends from the concept version.
In essence, the production model of the Honda CT125 will be more of a trail-friendly lifestyle moped than a utilitarian commuter like the TVS XL 100 sold in India. Such kind of a moped may not work well in India as they are generally seen as the poor man’s mode of transportation. Moreover, there are several competitively priced commuter motorcycles, thus entirely eliminating the need for a moped like the CT125.

- Review on TVS XL10 0My father brought this bike because he don't want gear one. This give the best mileage in the non gear segment. Less maintenance needed for this bike and light weight of the bike frame is easy to handle when it's static. I don't face any kind of issue. Some things I had to repair but is very common like spark plug carbon, some time horn wire got lose that all. Young genz may not like it because of this style. But yes safety factor is neglect in this bike if any accident gonna happened, I think there might be a problem. Any vendor or village uncle who shifted cycle to motor bike, so this would be perfect choice for you. It can carry a large no of weight. Due to light weight of this bike, it's very easy to move. Perfect for village road and not recommended for off-roads but it's easy to carry this bike in farming field.Read More6 7

- Very Useful for Daily Workl bought this vehicle mainly for daily use and local work. l am using TVS XL 100 from last few months and my overall experience is good. This vehicle is very helpful for daily use and small work purpose. Engine is smooth and reliable, no problem till now. I mostly ride it on local roads and village side roads, and it runs easily even on bad patches. Mileage is very nice and saves fuel cost, which is important for daily riding. I use it for going market, short travel and sometimes carrying light load also. Suspension is okay for this type of vehicle and gives comfortable ride for short distance. Maintenance is low and service center is easily available nearby. Look is simple but strong, build quality feels solid. Overall TVS XL100 is best option for people who want simple, economical and hardworking vehicle.Read More6 9
- TVS XL 100 HONEST REVIEWThe retro style touch inspired to buy it, The first look of this bike is different from other bikes, It has unique design and big wheels compared to scooters huge leg space and perfect posture for riding the bike. Comfort level is slightly reduced, compared to other modern bike it is lightly less comfort otherwise a great choice, not for the traditional bikers or scooter riders, maintenance cost is quite low to handle it in budget. Person who like retro style or old school design, I would highly recommend them, honestly the mileage is good and overall bike good but one cons is comfort, otherwise nice choice for daily commuters full marks for styling.Read More5 8
