The 2026 Grom MSX125 builds on the styling update introduced for 2025, which brought more aggressive bodywork, tank covers and a sportier undercowl design. For 2026, the focus shifts to fresh paint and graphics packages designed to further highlight the Grom’s personality. Press: Honda

Despite its compact dimensions, the Grom continues to enjoy enormous popularity globally thanks to its lightweight feel, low running costs and easy customisation potential. Since its launch in 2012, Honda says more than 863,000 Grom MSX125 863,000 units have been sold worldwide.

Mechanically, the 2026 Grom remains unchanged. Power comes from the familiar air-cooled 125cc single-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed gearbox, while the lightweight chassis and 12-inch wheels continue to deliver the bike’s trademark urban agility and approachable character.

The Grom also retains one of its biggest drawcards — easily removable bodywork that allows owners to personalise the bike with wraps, graphics and accessories.
