The Honda Grom has become a motorcycling evangelist, spreading positive powersports vibes from coast to coast and inspiring countless riders to explore the limits of this fun little single-cylinder mini bike. Its pared-down aesthetic and small stature (seat height is a low 30 inches) make the Grom an ideal platform for customization and a range of accessories that can transform the rider’s experience.

While there’s no shortage of options to choose from, selecting the right ones requires careful consideration and an understanding of the impact each choice will have on performance, appearance, and cost. The following article will explore the differences between OEM Honda Grom Parts and aftermarket alternatives to help Grom owners find the perfect match for their needs and preferences.

Pros and Cons of Knock-Off Grom Parts

The popularity of the Honda Grom has inspired several manufacturers to produce knock-off versions of this popular mini motorcycle. While these knock-off models may offer a more affordable entry point into the Grom experience, they can also come with a host of issues that can affect reliability, durability, and performance. Furthermore, knock-off Grom parts may not meet specific manufacturer standards and can be more difficult to service than genuine Honda products.

One of the most popular ways to add power to a Honda Grom is by adjusting the bike’s gearing. By swapping out the stock rear sprocket for one with a different tooth count, the owner can increase or decrease low-end torque or top-end speed. A more aggressive set of brake pads can also help to transform the Grom’s braking capabilities. The best options for the Honda Grom are sintered brake pads, which offer a stronger bite with less pad wear than abrasive standard varieties.
