The sporty, masculine characteristics of the Winner X are enhanced even more with updated wheel designs that bring flexibility, agility, and impressive new decals and color combinations, affirming the breakthrough nature of this motorcycle lineup.

The 2024 Winner X continues to possess a strong, dynamic design that stands out with seamless and sharp lines throughout the body. The front half of the motorcycle boasts a powerful look with aerodynamic characteristics inspired by large displacement motorcycles. The digital instrument panel has a compact and modern sporty shape that offers excellent visibility for the rider in all lighting conditions and a thrilling feeling in every moment of the experience.

The new Winner X version has a lighter front wheel by 282 grams and a lighter rear wheel by 170 grams compared to the 2023 version, which provides a more flexible riding experience, allowing users to easily control and steer.

In addition, the Winner X now comes in a variety of eye-catching, diverse colors that create a dynamic, sporty, and unique appearance, making riders feel proud to own and showcase their style in their adventures. Inspired by the legendary large displacement CBR1000RR-R, the Sport version creates a completely distinct character with a standout Red color combined with impressive Black and White accents, along with an attractive yellow wheel rim. The Special Edition is also available in a variety of colors including Black, Black Silver, and Red Black, combined with prominent gold decals that add personality to the front mask and body of the motorcycle and emphasize its powerful character when riding. The Standard version offers 3 youthful and powerful colors including Black Silver, White Black, and Red Black with eye-catching decals, giving it a dynamic and attractive appearance that catches all eyes.

A more powerful engine with breakthrough technology that will give riders complete control over speed and conquer every challenge

In addition to its standout sporty appearance, the 2024 Winner X is equipped with an outstanding and powerful engine for the first time, featuring a two-way slipper clutch to provide riders with excellent operation and a peak riding experience in all journeys.

The 2024 Winner X is the first motorcycle to be equipped with a two-way assist and slipper clutch system – a technology currently applied on racing motorcycles and most large displacement motorcycles. This technology helps to facilitate gear shifting, prevent rear wheel lock caused by engine braking when downshifting at high engine speeds. This technology promises to enhance the rider’s control ability, while also making the clutch lever lighter, thereby providing a comfortable and reassured riding experience.

The new Winner X still maintains a 150cc, 4-valve, 6-speed, DOHC engine that optimizes valve opening angles (16° for intake valves and 14°30′ for exhaust valves). This new generation Winner X allows users to enjoy a fresh and exhilarating riding experience with smooth acceleration throughout the engine’s range.

Additionally, the new version also maintains technologies that enhance the enjoyable and comfortable riding experience, such as minimizing vibrations by using a coaxial counterbalance, coupled with copper bushings to keep the bearing durable, and minimizing noise by using tilted gears and bearings for the gearshift, thereby providing smooth and responsive riding experiences. The PGM-FI electronic fuel injection system combined with friction-reducing technologies such as eccentric cylinders, pistons with coarse grooves and a molybdenum coating, roller cam and cylinder lining with a low-friction structure contribute to the high power and optimal fuel efficiency of the Winner X. The significant improvement of this version also comes from the upgraded ignition coil, helping to improve throttle response and provide a more powerful acceleration feeling.

Outstanding features affirm the level of the new generation manual transmission motorcycle

The new version continues to maintain advanced features that provide safe and high-end riding experiences, aiming for a comprehensive user experience.

Excitement, smoothness, stability, and reassurance are the feelings that the 2024 Winner X brings to riders. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is equipped on the Special Edition and Sport versions, helping to prevent wheel lock and provide a safe riding experience for users, especially during emergency braking at high speeds or on slippery road surfaces. The Winner X also continues with O-ring chains in the Special Edition and Sport versions, contributing to extended vehicle lifespan, saving maintenance time, and providing smoother vehicle operation.

The Honda SMART Key smart lock system continues to be featured on all 3 versions, allowing riders to determine the location of the vehicle and unlock it remotely, providing convenience and optimal antitheft capability. Particularly, the smart lock cylinder is equipped with a glowing LED light that turns on during operation, enhancing the premium and fashionable look of the motorcycle. The modern Type-A USB charging port with a water-resistant lid is still maintained on the Special Edition and Sport versions, allowing customers to conveniently charge their phones when needed.

With its distinctive sporty design and powerful engine, the new Winner X truly deserves to be called a real warrior in the manual transmission sports motorcycle segment, representing a young generation of leaders with fierce spirit, pride, and a desire to explore and conquer every road in the country.

The 2024 Winner X will be officially available on the market starting from December 24, 2023, through Honda Authorized Sales and Service Agents nationwide, with a warranty period of 3 years or 30,000 km, whichever comes first, and suggested retail prices as follows:
