Honda XRM 125

Overview

The Honda XRM 125 is the quintessential Filipino dual-sport underbone — born exclusively for the Philippine market in December 2001 and with over 1.83 million units produced. Fully redesigned in 2021 with a bolder CRF-inspired look, it is engineered to handle both daily city commutes and rugged unpaved terrain with equal confidence. At its core is a 125cc air-cooled 4-stroke SOHC engine producing 9.5 hp, paired with a 4-speed gearbox and PGM-Fi fuel injection for Euro 3 compliance and an impressive 65.4 km/L fuel efficiency. The redesign brought an aggressive masculine body shape, CRF-inspired fenders, digital speedometer, protective under cowl, and 17-inch wheels. Available in two dual-sport variants — the adventure-ready DS and the street-tough DSX, the XRM 125 remains one of the most versatile and best-value underbones in the Philippines.
