2022 Honda Monkey ABS First Look
H
onda introduced the 2022
Monkey ABS which now fea-
tures the same 124cc two-valve,
overhead-cam, air-cooled engine
that powers Honda's latest Grom.
This means the new Monkey ABS
now has an additional fifth gear.
"While the Monkey has been
a hit in the U.S. since we rein-
troduced it for the 2019 model
year, customers have expressed
a desire for more comfortable
cruising and better acceleration,"
said Brandon Wilson, Sports &
Experiential Manager at Ameri-
can Honda.
Honda says the Monkey has a
wider spread of gear ratios and a
37-tooth final-drive sprocket (pre-
viously 34T), which Honda claims
provides peppier acceleration
from low speeds but increased
top speed, as well.
The new Monkey ABS will
come in two color options—pearl
black and banana yellow—with an
MSRP of $4199.
