The 2021 Honda Super Cub is a Blast from the Past
Contents
Honda Motorcycles has brought back the Honda Super Cub once again for its 2021 Honda lineup. Since its re-release in the US in 2019, the Super Cub has remained unchained with the exception of some color combos. This year, the color remains the same Pearl Nebula Red released in 2020.
The 2021 Super Cub remains powered by the same engine found in the Honda Grom and Monkey. It’s powered by a 124.9cc air-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine capable of 9.1 horsepower and 7.7lb-ft of torque.
The Super Cub comes weighing in at just 240lbs and a conveniently low seat height of 30.7 inches. Making this an ideal Japanese motorcycle for those looking for economical transportation around the city. Much like the Honda Monkey: the Cub has a ton of heritage dating back to 1958.
The 2021 Honda Super Cub C125 ABS starts at $3,749 USD.

2021 Honda Super Cub C125 ABS Features
PERFORMANCE
Nobody can match Honda’s reputation for engines, and even though the Super Cub is relatively compact, it’s a giant in terms of performance and reliability.
EASY TO PARK
Because the Super Cub is compact, it’s easy to park in the city, and to store when you’re not riding. There’s always room for a Super Cub!
HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKES
The Super Cub features a 220mm front single disc brake for excellent stopping power. There’s even standard front-wheel ABS.
TECHNOLOGY
FOUR-SPEED SEMI-AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The Super Cub features a four-speed semi-automatic transmission that you shift with your left foot, like a traditional motorcycle. But here’s the unique feature: there’s no clutch to worry about—you just toe and go.
ELECTRIC SEAT OPENER
Need to release the seat latch for a fill-up? Just press a button—the lock is all electronically controlled on the Super Cub.
HANDLING
STANDARD ABS
Our front-wheel Anti-Lock Braking System (comes standard on the Super Cub) can be a big help in making controlled stops in less-than-ideal conditions, like on wet pavement or other compromised surfaces. It’s a great feature whether you’re using your new bike as a commuter or just riding it for fun, since it helps you stop with added confidence.
17-INCH CAST WHEELS
Big enough to roll along smoothly, the machine-finished cast construction on these wheels means they’re easier to keep clean than the traditional spoke construction.
FRONT SUSPENSION
The Super Cub’s telescopic front suspension is partially faired in, blending with the upper bodywork. It looks awesome, and works a lot better than the original leading-link design.
TUBELESS TIRES
Here’s another thoroughly modern touch: The Super Cub uses tubeless tires.
TWIN REAR SHOCKS
The original Cub had twin shocks, and so does the 2021 Super Cub. They not only look proper, but they also do a great job of smoothing out the road.
STYLE
STEP-THROUGH CHASSIS
This is one of the key design elements which made the original Cub so popular. The Super Cub’s step-through design incorporates frontal bodywork to help shield you from the wind and road splash. It’s not only super convenient, but makes it easy to get on and off the bike.
LOW SEAT HEIGHT
At just 30.7 inches, the Super Cub’s super-low seat makes it easy to flat-foot it in parking lots or at stop lights.
MULTI-FUNCTION DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS
Retro meets modern in the Super Cub’s instruments. The faired-in handlebar-mounted features speedometer, odometer, A&B trip meters, fuel gauge, clock, and indicator for low/high beam.
ROUND HEADLIGHT
The Super Cub’s round headlight looks retro, but its LED performance is totally up to date and provides superior illumination and visibility.
UNDERSEAT FUEL TANK
With its 1.0-gallon fuel tank and awesome fuel efficiency, the Super Cub is super practical. The tank filler is under the seat so it’s easy to access.
