Honda Trail 70 History
The Honda Trail 70 (CT70) is one of Honda’s most classic minibikes.
It was introduced in 1969 as the successor to the Honda Z50 Monkey Bike.
Like the Monkey bike before it, the CT70 earned the nickname “DAX,” which referred to its Dachshund-like frame.
The Trail 70 was a 72cc dual-sport that featured a 3-speed semi-automatic transmission.
In the US, the Trail 70 was produced from 1969 to 1982, and reintroduced in 1991-94.
All models share the same 72cc OHC 4-stroke engine and the DAX t-bone frame.
In the US market, the Trail 70 was extremely popular in the mid-west and farming and ranching areas.
