New 26YM colours for iconic Monkey 125, ST125 Dax and Super Cub C125

The playful Monkey 125 receives three striking new colour combinations, including Powder Black Metallic over a Mat Gun Powder Black frame, Knight Silver Metallic over Millennium Red, and Pearl Himalayas White over Banana Yellow. Meanwhile, the retro-inspired ST125 Dax introduces Pearl Horizon White and Candy Energy Orange alongside Pearl Shining Black, keeping its distinctive T-shaped frame and chunky 12-inch wheels. The legendary Super Cub C125 also gets a chic new look, featuring Premium Silver Metallic over Pearl Sugarcane Beige with a two-tone brown and cream leather seat.

Since their respective reintroductions, the Monkey and Dax have been popular in Europe, with the Monkey reaching nearly 25,000 cumulative sales and the Dax over 16,000. Honda says these new colours inject extra personality into the bikes while respecting their iconic heritage.

For Australian riders, it’s not yet clear which of these 2026 colourways will make it Down Under. BikeReview.com.au will provide updates as soon as Honda Motorcycles Australia confirms the local lineup.
