Comfort & Convenience
- SPORTING RIDING POSITION: Purposeful and stylish, this bike features a modern and aggressive design, with full-length sport fairings that are perfect for everything from urban commuting to spirited canyon rides.
Engineering
- HONDA E-CLUTCH: Honda’s E-Clutch lets you shift with your left foot without needing the handlebar-mounted clutch—unless you want to. It also acts as a quick-shifter, enabling clutchless, full-throttle gear changes up and down for riders who crave performance.
- HONDA SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL: With Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), confidence is always on-demand. By utilizing a variety of parameters managed by the ECU, it adjusts engine power to reduce rear-wheel slip. The HSTC can be turned on or off using a convenient handlebar-mounted switch.
- SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSION: The tailored gear ratios of the six-speed transmission provide seamless shifts that enhance your ride with precision and performance.
- SLIPPER CLUTCH: The assist slipper clutch lightens clutch operation by approximately 12 percent compared to previous designs, which reduces rear-wheel hop during rapid downshifts.
Handling
- TWIN-SPAR FRAME: A timeless design that Honda has perfected, the twin-spar frame is lightweight, forming a sturdy backbone and providing stellar handling.
- SHOWA BIG PISTON FORK: Showa’s Separate Function Front Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) design features light overall weight and excellent rigidity, as well as radial mounting points for the bike’s twin front-brake calipers.
- RADIAL-MOUNT FRONT BRAKES: Radial-mounted four-piston brakes feature effortless modulation, seamless linearity, and supreme power, allowing you to command the road.
- Y-SPOKE ALUMINUM WHEELS: Aluminum Y-spoke wheels reduce weight and increase agility, resulting in an improvement that can be felt with every turn.
Performance
- DOHC INLINE-FOUR ENGINE: The inline four-cylinder powerplant provides unrivaled smoothness and unmatched revving, while its abundant low-to-midrange torque is felt with every twist of the throttle.
- FOUR-INTO-ONE EXHAUST: A good exhaust should quiet the engine, fine-tune its power output, produce great sounds, and enhance the style. This four-into-one system excels in all areas, resonating perfectly as only an inline-four can.
- REFINED INTAKE SYSTEM: The twin-duct intake design is engineered to ram cool, dense air into the airbox, increasing horsepower.
- SPECIAL ENGINE TUNING: Finely tuned valve timing and piston shapes improve engine response, especially from the idle to 8000 rpm. This delivers a big advantage in urban environments.
Style
- SPORTBIKE STYLING: Purposeful and stylish, this bike features a modern and aggressive design, with full-length sport fairings that are perfect for everything from urban commuting to spirited canyon rides.
Technology
- LED HEADLIGHT: The eye-catching dual-lens LED headlight casts a powerful beam. It’s brighter and smaller than a conventional design and contributes significantly to the bike’s overall sense of style.
