For ample and stable braking power, the PCX features a 3-pot single-disc brake in the front - a component usually found on larger scooters. In addition, Honda's original CBS (combined brake system for front and rear wheels) is standard, providing balanced front and rear braking when the rear brake is applied. Thanks to a redesigned caliper piston layout, the CBS of the PCX is more lightweight and compact than in previous models. The CBS master cylinder is mounted directly to the frame, resulting in a simplified and more lightweight steering system.
