Braking

• RADIAL-MOUNTED FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS: Radial-mounted monoblock front-brake calipers with four chromium-plated aluminum pistons feature a stiffer construction that provides a better brake feel, ensuring linear and powerful stopping.

Engineering

• CENTRALLY LOCATED FUEL TANK: Strategically positioned as close to the middle and as low in the frame as possible, the 4.8-gallon fuel tank optimizes mass centralization, enhancing the bike's responsiveness to rider input.
• LINE-BEAM HEADLIGHTS: Line-beam headlights feature a two-piece reflector design that utilizes two H7 bulbs for optimum light distribution and a unique compact design. The result: the headlight helps you see better and also helps make you visible to traffic.

Handling

• HONDA ELECTRONIC STEERING DAMPER: Our Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) goes beyond typical steering dampers. Sensing handlebar-deflection speed as well as vehicle speed to adjust dynamically, the HESD ensures exceptional low-speed maneuverability while maintaining excellent high-speed stability.
• HONDA MULTI-ACTION SYSTEM INVERTED FORK: The HMAS cartridge fork features smaller-diameter pistons, maintaining high oil velocity, improving damping characteristics, and providing a more comprehensive range of adjustability.
• UNIT PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION: By eliminating the frame-mounted top shock mount, Unit Pro-Link® isolates the chassis from bumps, resulting in more precise handling and better traction. Developed on our championship-winning MotoGP bikes, it’s a perfect example of its superior engineering.
• 12-SPOKE WHEELS: With their consistent rigidity and balance, these sharp-looking 12-spoke cast aluminum wheels work with the fork and enhance suspension feedback to deliver real handling improvements.

Performance

• DUAL-STAGE FUEL INJECTION: Dual injectors in each cylinder ensure exceptional low and high rpm capabilities, while refined EFI settings enhance throttle response, especially at smaller openings, for a smoother but still exhilarating ride.
• DUAL-STAGE RAM AIR: This ingenious design ensures a generous cool airflow to the airbox, resulting in smooth power delivery and exceptional engine performance throughout the rpm range.
