Atlas Honda has once again unveiled its latest model—the Honda Pridor 2025—in Pakistan, and just like clockwork, the update has stirred mixed emotions among motorcycle enthusiasts. If you were hoping for a groundbreaking upgrade or some real innovation this year, brace yourself for a bit of déjà vu. The 2025 Pridor brings with it a fresh set of graphics and a slight twist in the color palette… and that’s about it.
So, what’s really changed? And more importantly, what hasn’t? Let’s dive into the details.
Same Heart, Same Ride
At its core, the Honda Pridor 2025 sticks with the same trusted—but aging—engine configuration. The 97.1cc 4-stroke air-cooled engine returns with no performance tweaks or mechanical enhancements. It’s paired with a 4-speed constant mesh transmission and still relies on a kick-start mechanism—something that’s been a sore point for users who’ve long awaited an electric start.
Despite new branding, the ride feels strikingly familiar, both in terms of power delivery and handling.

Graphics Over Guts: Honda’s Safe Playbook
Year after year, Atlas Honda has taken a safe and consistent route—changing aesthetics while keeping the internal components untouched. This strategy has its benefits: the Pridor remains affordable, easy to maintain, and highly fuel-efficient. But it also means that buyers looking for innovation or an improved riding experience are left disappointed.
Marketing for the 2025 model touts “style, comfort, and efficiency,” yet avoids any mention of upgrades that matter—like a better suspension system, disc brakes, or an engine overhaul.
Public Reaction: A Love-Hate Relationship
Among Pakistani riders, the Pridor holds a respected place for its reliability and practicality. Its low maintenance cost, solid resale value, and fuel economy make it a commuter favorite. However, longtime fans and biking enthusiasts have been vocal about their frustration. Many feel that Honda could’ve introduced an electric start or reworked the suspension setup to provide a smoother ride.
But despite the lack of change, the 2025 Pridor will likely still sell well, thanks to the brand’s reputation and loyal customer base.
