Cub House, a brand of A.P. Honda in Thailand, is a special part for MONKEY 125, MSX 125 (GROM), Super Cub C125 and other Thai-made motorcycles, and has a more unique style than H2C, providing more fun for motorcycle lovers to modify their motorcycles.
Recently, Cub House announced the "SAMMY SAND" modified version of MONKEY 125 with a new engine and five-speed transmission on SNS social media, and it is expected to be exhibited at MOTOR EXPO from December 1 to 12.
Another Special version is released!
Cub House, which specializes in modified parts for Thailand-made motorcycles such as MONKEY 125, MSX 125 (GROM), and Super Cub C125, suddenly published a special edition of MONKEY 125 SAMMY SAND on SNS social media. Although the details have not been released yet, It is expected to be exhibited at MOTOR EXPO from December 1st to 12th.
Technically speaking, Thailand is the birthplace of the MONKEY 125, which was first released as a concept model there in 2016. Since its launch in 2018, MONKEY 125 has been sold not only in Thailand and Japan, but also in Europe and North America and has been well received.
The MONKEY 125 Special Edition has become a staple of Cub House, with a number of special editions launched before this, especially the MONKEY 70's Ride Special Edition, which pays tribute to the CB color scheme of the 1970s, and was a huge hit as soon as it was launched in Japan.
SAMMY SAND Special Edition uses a combination of beige and black coloring, which looks a little cute but with a little cool feeling. The orange block on the fuel tank is also simple and powerful without too many lines. The MONKEY logo on the fuel tank is designed in black and white reversal, and the MONKEY Z125 is on the right side cover.
I believe that fans who have studied MONKEY 50 will find that the body painting of the SAMMY SAND Special Edition is the same as the MONKEY 50 ADVENTURE Limited Edition launched by HONDA in 2016, no matter the color concept or the line design, which is a chance to make up for the fans who want to buy MONKEY 50 ADV but have no vehicle to start with.
The MONKEY 125 SAMMY SAND special edition released this time is based on the 2021-style MONKEY 125 and is equipped with the same air-cooled single-cylinder engine as the 2021-style third-generation GROM. The high compression ratio is designed to pass the latest environmental regulations, although the maximum horsepower is the same as the old MONKEY 125 at 9.38ps (6.9Kw), but the maximum horsepower can be fully released from 7000rpm to 6750rpm.
