THIRD-GENERATION
U
rban Dictionary defines a grom
as a young kid, usually, under
the age of 15, that likes extreme
sports, especially surfing or skateboard-
ing. In essence, Grom is a category
of fun-loving, carefree kids who cruise
around town looking for the next ad-
venture to sink their teeth into. Honda
affectionately gave the "Grom" name
to their flagship mini-moto model back
in 2014, and it has since become the
company's best-selling street motor-
cycle. The Grom's timing piggy-backed
off the Ruckus, allowing it to ride a wave
of popularity with consumers and thus
creating a "car-culture" feel around the
bike. Now on its third generation, the
last significant changes coming in 2017,
we recently got the chance to ride the
updated 2022 model.
