The 2019 Honda Winner X has just been launched
in Vietnam. The launch of Honda’s latest 150 cc supercub was held at the My
Dinh Stadium in Vietnam.
The full specifications of the Winner X has not
been released pending public sale beginning July 16. Thus, whatever information
we have on the Winner X is gleaned from the launch which was held in Vietnamese
and Japanese.
The bodywork on the Winner X is new
compared to the previous version with the headlights now located in the front
cowl and using LEDs. The tailpiece also looks wider and resembles the larger
motorcycles in Honda’s range, while the exhaust appears to be shorter but the
alloy wheels look to be the same as the outgoing Winner X.
An upgrade to the Winner X is the inclusion of front
wheel ABS which improves safety although we are given to understand Honda
Vietnam will be offering a non-ABS version on grounds of cost. It should be
noted the non-ABS Winner X will come with Honda’s combined braking system which
activates front and rear brakes proportionately during hard braking.
The instrument panel is a full LCD unit that
resembles the item used on the CB150R and displays rpm, speed, gear position,
odometer, clock and fuel level. The tail light on the Winner X also appears
smaller, using LED lighting as do the turn signals located separately below the
tail light.
Selling price for the 2019 Honda Winner X in Vietnam
starts at 45.99 million Dong for the CBS version, while the camo
version Winner X ABS retails for 48.99 million Dong and the matte
black Winner X ABS goes for 49.9 million Dong. In the engine room, no
information was provided during the launch but the previous version of the
Winner X was powered by a single-cylinder 149 cc DOHC liquid-cooled mill mated
to a six-speed gearbox.
