Comfort & Convenience

• LOW-PROFILE WINDSCREEN: This bike offers just the right amount of bodywork—enough to offer good wind protection but not so much that it feels heavy or wide.
• INTEGRATED STORAGE: A spacious utility compartment in front of the rider is big enough to accommodate most full-face helmets with a visor and other essentials. It's secure, convenient, and fully integrated into the bike’s design.
• UNDER-SEAT FUEL TANK: The fuel tank is located under the seat for more centralized mass and improved handling. This unique design also makes room for our integrated storage compartment.
• LOW SEAT HEIGHT: The low seat height helps make this bike more rider-friendly in stop-and-go traffic as well as parking lots.
• EXTRA COMFORTABLE SEAT: If you plan to take longer trips, you'll really appreciate this seat. It's supportive enough for precise riding, yet comfortable even when you're sitting on it for hours.

Engineering

• HONDA SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL (HSTC): With Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and four ride modes, you can choose the appropriate level of performance for everything from dirt to gravel to all kinds of pavement.
• AUTOMATIC DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT): Our automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission lets you shift with the push of a button, or you can let the bike shift itself automatically. In addition, DCT offers three riding modes, depending on the performance you want.
• THROTTLE BY WIRE: Throttle-by-wire (TBW) technology allows for four selectable engine power-delivery modes: Standard, Rain, Sport, and an additional user-customizable setting.

Handling

• FRONT SUSPENSION: You get a perfect balance between a long-distance and a short-hop street machine. This gives it a wide range of capabilities and good handling that helps inspire confidence.
• DISC BRAKES WITH COMBINED ABS: Now with dual-front and single-rear disc brakes featuring our Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), you get stronger, more predictable stopping power, even under challenging conditions.
• PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION: When partnered with a Honda Multi-Action System (HMAS) rear shock, Pro-Link® rear suspension effectively handles uneven surfaces for a smoother ride.
• STEEL TRUSS FRAME: With a rigid and compact chassis that is both light and strong, you get precise handling along with a supple ride.
• CAST ALUMINUM WHEELS: The 17-inch wheels significantly aid in responsive handling. The cast wheels are light, robust, and feature a new design for this year, adding to the bike’s aesthetic appeal.

Performance

• PARALLEL-TWIN ENGINE: The engine's twin-cylinder format produces ample low- and mid-range torque, and its 270-degree-phase crank and uniaxial primary balancer make it smooth.
• ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION: With electronic fuel injection, starting your bike on cold mornings is easier, and the engine runs flawlessly even at higher elevations.

Style

• STREAMLINED COWL: Revised for this year, the bike's cowl provides ample wind protection and has a fresh, angular design with clean, sharp edges.

Technology

• LCD INSTRUMENT PANEL: Full digital LCD instrumentation includes a speedometer, bar-type tachometer, clock, low-fuel gauge, and two trip meters. The tach bar graph also changes color based on fuel consumption, rpm, gear position, and more.
• HONDA ROADSYNC: Honda RoadSync connects to your Android or iOS device via Bluetooth and the Honda RoadSync app. It allows for hands-free navigation, music playback, as well as the ability to check local forecasts at your destination. Android phones can link for hands-free calling and texting.
