3.1 Styling
Superior styling
The machine’s appearance is dominated by the large-diameter 17" wheels front and rear, which
give the Wave 110i a solid and purposeful stance on the road while also contributing to its
excellent on-road handling. The scooter’s sculpted bodywork clearly communicates the advanced
technology that lies beneath.

Integrated storage compartment

The Wave 110i is 709mm wide and contains a large 7.1-litre internal storage space. Accessed by
lifting up the seat, this compartment is large enough to securely hold some types an open-face
helmet.

3.2 Ergonomic Design

Comfortable riding position
The Wave 110i is a comfortable machine to ride. The slim dimensions of the body also play a role
in this comfort and ease of use, making it easy for the rider to put down a steadying foot when
coming to a stop.

3.3 Chassis
Superb manoeuvrability
With it single-cylinder engine, the Wave 110i natural environment is busy city streets and twisty
rural lanes. The vehicle’s compact chassis makes the Wave 110i manageable in both riding
environments. The cub geometry is designed for agility, with the relatively short 1227mm
wheelbase helping to provide a full 45° of steering angle. Together these factors give the rider the
confidence to turn quickly and easily along busy city streets and twisty rural roads alike. The
strong 220mm front disc brake and equally powerful 110mm rear drum brake provide secure and
effective braking for the Wave 110i.

Built to tackle any kind of road

The Wave 110i is built around a rugged steel backbone frame, this provides the rigidity needed for
safe, confident riding while also taking up as little room as possible within the body of the scooter,
to maximise storage space and fuel tank size. The large-diameter spoked wheels mount to the
frame via a pair of 26mm telescopic. The result is a secure yet nimble ride, even on rough and
bumpy streets.

3.4 Engine
Rugged, easy-to-use single-cylinder engine
The Wave 110i is powered by a simple yet powerful single-cylinder four-stroke engine with PGM-
FI fuel injection. The fuel injection system and electric start function mean easy choke-less
starting and no hassle – the Wave 110i is ready to ride at the push of a button. The four-speed
transmission makes for an equally effortless ride, while the chaincase further reduces the amount
of maintenance required by protecting the drive chain from road dirt and debris.

Clean, quiet and usable power

For such a competitively priced cub, the Wave 110i has a precise fuel injection system which uses
an oxygen sensor in the exhaust system to constantly optimise the engine’s running, making for
quiet operation and low exhaust gas emissions that comply fully with the EURO 3 standards.

Highly fuel-efficient
The Wave 110i uses a simple and highly efficient SOHC single-cylinder engine to deliver
economy of 57km/l (HUDC). This allows for lower running costs, it also means increased
convenience for the rider since the scooter can travel some 210.9km between fill-ups.

4. Colours

- Pearl Procyon Black

5. Model history
The humble Honda Super Cub has mobilised millions of people the world over since its release in
1958. Rugged, affordable, fun to ride and above all easy to use, the Cub has succeeded because
it perfectly satisfies the needs of those who ride it, and because it enriches their daily lives,
making everyday journeys swift and convenient. Often the first taste of powered personal
transport for many of its riders, the Super Cub has always offered the same intuitive user
experience as a bicycle but with far greater speed, convenience and load-carrying ability.

While the world has changed a great deal since the Super Cub’s launch, the need for affordable
and reliable personal transport has only increased. Ever-expanding cities and rising fuel costs
mean the demand for convenient and affordable mobility, both for work and play, is stronger than
ever in a wide range of different societies.

It is against this background that Honda has developed the Wave 110i, the latest model in a line
of extremely popular that can trace their evolution back to Soichiro Honda’s original Super Cub.
With clean, responsive and almost maintenance-free four-stroke power, together with carefully
considered details like a large internal storage space and a powerful hydraulic disc front brake,
the 2012 Wave 110i is ready to mobilise a new generation of riders.
