While you will have to wait for our riding impression of the new Navi, the current issue features seat time with the 2022 Grom. Honda made a big impression with this little bike — more than 750,000 Groms have been sold since its introduction back in 2014. After spending the day in the new thicker, flatter saddle, we have to admit three quarters of a million cash-customers can’t be wrong!
Honda has made some substantial changes to the third generation Grom. The new engine, with a higher 10:1 compression ratio combined with fuel injection, increases power and adds to the performance. — a whopping 9.7 horsepower and 7.7 pound-feet of torque are now on tap! Pus, Honda has seen fit to add an extra cog in the gearbox… big fun rowing through the 5-speed.
And if kids should get a little too “exuberant” with twisting the throttle, the disc brakes work (don’t ask me how I know)! There is even an ABS upgrade available for an additional $200, on the hang tag. Huge improvements to this little pocket rocket.
