The 2022 version of this model has undergone some design changes, appearing more feminine. This makes the Honda Lead 2022 model more suitable for female riders. The dimensions and weight of the scooter are reasonable, measuring 1844 x 680 x 1130mm (length x width x height) and weighing 113kg. Additionally, the seat height of 760mm is suitable for the height of Vietnamese people, especially women.
One of the most striking features is the front end of the scooter, with a beautifully designed tiered headlight cluster, along with chrome accents creating a premium feel.
The logo is more prominent, positioned at the rear of the scooter for the special edition of this model.
The front tire size is 90/90, while the rear tire is 100/90. The front suspension is telescopic, and the rear suspension is coil spring, both equipped with hydraulic shock absorbers for smoother rides.
