After looking some more, I think the new moto may be related to the 2019+ fuel injected crf110 motor, and not related to the OG/SF grom motor. That would mean max bore sizes of 56mm which gives a capacity of 155cc with the new stroke. Look at these comparison shots of the stator covers of the 21 grom and the 20 crf110. I could be wrong, but we'll have to wait and see.

Here is a video of the new engine being dismantled. it's not in english but they show a lot :

Some things I noticed from watching the video. Please keep in mind that I can't speak Thai, so this is just visual.

• Definitely looks to be based on new CRF110. Small stud spacing means limited big bore size as per my previous posts and aftermarket og/sf grom heads won't be compatible
• Transmission no longer uses blind bearings on the output shaft, so easier to replace without special tools
• Transmission ratios are super wide ratio (see picture)
• Clutch looks to be the same as current grom, so there's still hope the new 5 speed will fit our cases
• Tensioner unit looks quite different, but still spring+hydraulic. Appears to have a cam chain guide to prevent whipping against the top of the cylinder
• Crank webs are massive which compensates for the loss of the spinner in the new engine (rotational inertia)
• Connecting rod appears very similar, if not the same as the current grom connecting rod. May be opportunities to use the kitaco rod kit with this crank
• Rod length appear the same as the current grom. With the new stroke, this would give a rod ratio of 1.47, which is even worse than the current motor (1.6) for high rpm's.
• Clearance between piston skirt to crank webs is very small

Did I miss anything?

I agree entirely. Looks like only the mounts are backward compatible.

Close up of clutch cover and oil filter similar to the aftermarket clutch covers for current models:

The new bike has 5 speed stock, 1.6 gallon tank, customization from Honda.

I think I'll end up getting one of these to make my mini off-roader and make my Monkey a cafe bike.

With the Grom I wouldn't do the 181 4V though.

Also because quite all tunings available parts will not fit on the new engine

Has there been further coverage about the new Grom engine?

If it is based on the CRF110?

I won't mind if it is. My next build is going to be stock bore or 143cc max to avoid having crankcase pressure issues.
