Honda Updates Forza and ADV Scooters for 2024 Model-Year

Europeans have embraced scooters as a popular mode of transportation, especially for navigating urban areas. Honda's Forza series, available in 125 and 350 models, are among the best-selling small-displacement scooters in the region.

The 2024 models of the Forza 125 and 350 have received updates, primarily in terms of styling. The new designs feature chiseled dual-headlights and angular fairings inspired by the larger Forza 750 touring scooter. Honda has also included a range of amenities, such as an electronically adjustable screen, a USB Type-C charging socket, and underseat storage space that can accommodate two full-face helmets. The scooters also come equipped with Smart Key operation for added convenience.

In terms of performance, the Forza 350 is powered by a 330cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, single-cylinder engine that produces approximately 29 horsepower and 23.3 pound-feet of torque. The Forza 125, on the other hand, complies with A1 restrictions and features a 125cc single-cylinder engine with 14.7 horsepower and nine pound-feet of torque. Both models are equipped with Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), which provides traction control.

The Forza 125 will be available in a new Pearl Sienna Red color for the 2024 model-year. Additionally, there will be a Forza 125 Special Edition with a Matt Cynos Gray Metallic design, contrasting red wheels, and blacked-out passenger pegs. The Forza 350 will be offered in Pearl Nightstar Black and Matt Pearl Cool White color options.

In addition to the Forza scooters, Honda has also introduced new color choices for the ADV 350. This adventure-style scooter shares similarities with its larger counterpart, the X-ADV 750. The ADV 350, launched in Europe in 2022, is praised for its versatility, rugged styling, and practical performance. It features the same 330cc engine as the Forza 350, delivering 29 horsepower and 23.3 pound-feet of torque.

The ADV 350 is built on a sturdy tubular steel frame and features 37mm inverted front forks and remote reservoir rear shocks. Like the other models, it includes HSTC, a Type-C charger, and underseat storage for two helmets. Additional features include an LCD dashboard and a height-adjustable windscreen.

The 2024 Honda ADV 350 will be available in four new color options: Matt Coal Black Metallic, Pearl Falcon Gray, Matt Pearl Cool White, and Matt Pearl Pacific Blue. These updated models will be manufactured at Honda's Italia Industriale SpA facility and will arrive at European dealerships by December 2023.
