Back in March, Honda resurrected the iconic Dax for 2022, taking the mini-bike market by storm and it’s already gathered the interest of custom bikemakers. One such custom shop is Thailand-based K-Speed, who’s wasted no time converting the cutesy ‘22 Honda Dax into a monstrous, rad-looking custom “Daxster” that’s quite possibly the first of its kind.

Custom 2022 Honda Dax by K-Speed - What’s Changed?

Starting up top, the fascia of the Daxster is pretty different (in a good way) from the stock bike. A lot of the credit here goes to the burly USD fork setup, which is spread wider than the stock telescopic units. This extra width, in turn, has made way for a wider 130-section tire, though the rim size remains put at 12-inch. In addition, K-Speed has also thrown a custom all-LED headlight and chunky wheel covers to round off the brawny fascia.

Similar changes also blessed the rear-end, which now has shorter aftermarket shocks accompanied by an extended swingarm with a side-mounted number plate, giving the Daxster a dragster-like stance. Additionally, a custom-made luggage rack and taillight replace the stock rear fender and pillion grab handle.

In the middle, the Daxster proudly flaunts a brown leather seat and a second luggage rack. The highlight here, though, has to be the unique handlebar that’s not only taller than the stock one but allows adjustability in case you want more leverage. Now, that’s very cool!

Rounding off the build are tiny little details such as aftermarket switches, handlebar grips, footpegs, sly LED bar-mounted indicators, and most importantly, the sinister all-black paint scheme.

The list of “stock” elements on the Daxster is pretty small but rather substantial. That’s because the chassis, instrument cluster, and the engine remain mostly stock.

We say “mostly” because even though there are no internal changes to the 124cc engine, it breathes free-er now thanks to a custom exhaust system made in-house by K-Speed. Likewise, the instrument cluster remains totally stock, but it now sits on the side rather than on top of the tank.

Can You Buy It?

There’s not much known about whether this custom Honda Daxster is on sale at the moment, but what we do know is that K-Speed plans to introduce an array of aftermarket parts for the Honda Dax that are inspired by this build. While this is good news for the Asian markets, Honda is yet to bring the Dax 125 here, which throws a spanner in the works for American Honda Dax fans.
