SH125i are the first Atessa-built Honda models to meet EURO5+ requirements
Honda’s prestigious, fuel efficient and technologically advanced SH family of commuting royalty - the SH350i, SH125i, and SH Mode 125 - receive new looks for 24YM, led by the new ‘Vetro’ version of the SH125i that will be guaranteed to turn heads in the towns and cities of Europe next year.
The Vetro is the brainchild - and a tribute to the technical skills - of the workforce at Honda’s factory in Atessa, Italy. It features distinctive semi-transparent unpainted green fairing panels – production of which produces 9.5% fewer CO2 emissions over a year compared to those of the standard colouring schemes. The innovative new look also features a black front mudguard, black lower fairing with bold white Honda logo and a silver SH logo on the upper fairing.
The new 24YM SH125i is the first Atessa-built Honda models to meet new EURO5+ emissions targets. These new regulations, which will become a legal requirement for all new model type approvals at the end of 2024, see the introduction of new ‘on-board’ monitoring of the catalyst, the lowering of the threshold for identifying an emissions related fault (therefore ensuring an earlier warning for the rider), stricter noise requirements and stricter long-term exhaust emission requirements.
Joining the Matt Coal Black Metallic, the SH125i stable also benefits from a second ‘sporty edition’ (SE) in Matt Pearl Cool White – both SE versions feature additional black detailing around the controls, front and lower fairings, stylish red stitching on the seat, and bespoke logos, badges and graphics. Five additional new standard colour combinations are also introduced: Pearl Falcon Gray, Matt Pearl Cool White, Matt Pearl Pacific Blue and classic Nightstar Black, which all feature new blacked-out wheels and details.
Having sold over 10,000 units across Europe in 2022, the range-topping SH350i will be available in two brand new colours and four new colour combinations for 24YM. New colours Zefiro Blue Metallic and Matt Techno Silver Metallic join Matt Coal Black Metallic, Matt Ruthenium Silver Metallic, Pearl Cool White and Black which carry over from last year. All colours feature new black wheels and details.
The SH Mode 125 arrives in 24YM with two new colours: Candy Luster Red and Matt Galaxy Black Metallic, which join two carryover colours of Pearl Jasmine White and Matt Techno Silver Metallic. Having sold over 45,000 units in Europe since its introduction in 2014, the SH Mode 125 has broadened the appeal of the SH family to a younger audience and, thanks to its deft combination of on-trend style, confidence-inspiring performance and low running costs, represents the perfect gateway into SH ownership.
In total, nearly 49,000 units of SH family scooters were sold in Europe in 2022 – a total comprised of over 10,000 SH350i’s, over 20,000 SH125i’s and over 8,200 SH Mode’s.
The 24YM SH125i will begin to arrive in dealers across Europe during October, the SH350i in November and the SH Mode 125 in January.
