The model is a dual-use motorcycle capable of traveling on roads of any quality - from asphalt to dirt roads. The main feature of the Honda AX-1 (NX250) is the high reliability of the main components and assemblies - it is not uncommon for a motorcycle to travel 100,000 km or more without engine repair. The undercarriage of the motorcycle is also very reliable and does not require frequent maintenance.

Also, for the market of some European countries, modifications were made with a reduced volume engine (239 cc), giving out 23 hp. power and 22 Nm of torque.
