Clip Director™ 
Honda's simple Clip Director™ regulates how much is bagged or mulched. Its design maximizes the flow of grass clippings as well as minimizes the clogging of the opening to the bag chute.
MicroCut Twin Blades 
Honda's exclusive MicroCut twin blades result in ultra fine clippings for better mulching and increased bag capacity when bagging or leaf shredding.
Xenoy® Deck 
The all-new HRX deck is contructed of advanced and extremely durable Xenoy® material that does not dent, rust, or corrode over time. Developed for Honda, Xenoy® is used in everything from car bumpers to football helmets and is exclusive on Honda Lawnmowers.
The HRX is 28 percent more rigid than its predecessor for enhanced maneuverability and tighter blade/deck tolerances for more efficient cutting. The slightly longer deck length ensures excellent balance even when the bag is full. Xenoy® is a registered trademark of General Electric Corporation.

Honda GCV190 overhead cam (OHC) 6.5 HP engine 
Powering the HRX is Honda's new GCV190 overhead cam (OHC) engine, which delivers 6.5 horsepower to either a three-speed or Cruise Control (Hydrostatic) transmission.
HRX Wheels 
The HRX is equipped with new nine-inch wheels, which provides deeper tread depth for increased traction and a smoother ride. It features 7 mowing heights with a range from 3/4" to 4".
Flywheel Brake
When the mower is started, the blade turns with the engine. When the operator lets go of the mower handle the blade (engine) must stop within 3 seconds. The operator cannot leave the designated "Operator Zone" to restart the mower engine.
Rear Discharge Chute 
The HRX contains a convenient European-style rear discharge that improves maneuverability, eliminating the need for separate discharge chute attachments.
Roto-Stop® Blade Brake Clutch 
Honda's patented Roto-Stop® system allows the mower engine to run without the blade spinning. Honda was the first with a blade-brake-clutch that met CPSC requirements for safety back in 1978. So, it's no surprise that the blade control on the Honda lawnmowers is strong and simple.
