Powering the 2022 Honda Grom is a new 123.9cc air-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine with a Programmed Fuel Injection system (PGM-Fi) and electronic ignition. The new engine also features a new 5-speed transmission. The Grom also comes with a 31mm telescopic front fork suspension, monoshock on the rear-mounted to a steel box-section swingarm, a single 220mm disc with a hydraulic dual-piston calliper on the front and a 190mm disc with the hydraulic single-piston calliper on the rear.

The 2022 Honda Grom also comes with LED headlamps and LED taillights as well as the optional ABS on the brakes for added safety.

Launch in India

While Honda has not revealed any details if the brand plans to launch the Grom in the Indian market, speculation in the past believe that the Grom 125 will come to India as patents for the model filed at the Indian Intellectual Property office. But looking at the Honda Navi which was a similar looking motorscooter that did not do well in India the brand may not decide to bring the Grom.
