Atlas Honda has officially launched its 2026 CG125 series in Pakistan. The new lineup consists of three distinct variants for the coming model year. The launch reaffirms the company’s commitment to its most iconic and trusted motorcycle nameplate. This strategic move aims to cater to a broad customer base with varying preferences and budgets.
Three Variants, One Legacy Engine
The three models introduced are the standard CG125, the CG125S with self-start, and a premium CG125S Gold edition. Notably, all three variants retain the same proven, fuel-efficient engine from previous years. This decision prioritizes reliability and low running costs over any performance enhancements or technical upgrades for the new model year.

Marketing a Powerful Legacy
Atlas Honda is promoting the new series as a blend of “Power, Legacy, and a touch of Gold.” Each variant has been assigned a specific marketing slogan to highlight its unique selling proposition. The company is leveraging the model’s decades-long reputation for durability and fuel efficiency to connect with both new and existing customers.
Distinct Slogans for Each Model
The marketing campaign uses tailored slogans for each variant. The base CG125 is tagged with “Power in Every Move.” The self-start CG125S encourages riders to “Self-Start Your Journey.” The premium CG125S Gold edition is being heralded as “The Golden Era,” emphasizing its exclusive status and cosmetic enhancements.
Following the CG150 Launch
This release comes shortly after Atlas Honda launched the new CG150 in July. That model sparked significant discussion within the motorcycle enthusiast community. Its design drew immediate comparisons to a classic Honda motorcycle from the past, creating a nostalgic buzz and debate about modern reinterpretations of iconic designs.
Echoes of the Classic Roadmaster
The new CG150’s design closely mirrors the Honda CD 200 Roadmaster from the 1980s. This retro styling has been a major talking point. Interestingly, well-maintained original Roadmaster models still command high prices, often selling for over Rs. 400,000 in the used bike market, a testament to their enduring appeal and build quality.
CG150 Technical Specifications
The CG150 is powered by a 150cc SOHC air-cooled engine. This four-stroke powerplant produces 8.75kW (11.9 PS) of power at 7,500 rpm. Its peak torque is rated at 12.5 Nm, achieved at 6,000 rpm. This provides a noticeable performance upgrade over the smaller 125cc engine found in the newly launched variants.
