Exhaust

We installed twin mufflers on the bike's exhaust to amplify its twin-cylinder engine's sound. It's a small detail, but it's guaranteed to bring a smile to your face every time you ride.

Pro-Link® rear suspension

It features a Honda Pro-Link^® rear suspension with a nine-stage adjustable preload shock and large-diameter internals for better-damping characteristics and a smoother ride.

Slipper/assist clutch

The slipper/assist clutch reduces clutch-lever effort by 45 percent compared to previous systems and automatically locks up tight upon release.

Smooth transmission

Our engineers profiled the shift dogs in the transmission to help you get smoother shifts every time. You'll never see these parts, but you'll feel their effects.
