Gold Wing Tour Features
Engine
The horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is famously smooth and powerful. The latest version is an 1833cc design that’s over 13 pounds lighter than previous generations (more than eight pounds less for our DCT trims).
Standard on: all trims
Aluminum cylinder sleeves
High-strength aluminum cylinder sleeves help reduce weight, increase cooling efficiency, and reduce engine length. The 73mm cylinder bore and the short, high-strength crankshaft also help make the engine more compact.
Standard on: all trims
Unicam® cylinder head design
The Unicam® cylinder head design with four valves improves engine performance and power, reducing weight from the previous generation.
Standard on: all trims
Twin-wall exhaust pipes
You may think this is just for cosmetics, but single-wall exhaust pipes can throw off a lot of heat on a hot day. The twin-wall design keeps things cooler. Not to mention, this is the best-sounding Gold Wing we’ve ever built.
Standard on: all trims
Double wishbone front suspension
The radical double-wishbone front suspension delivers stellar handling and gives the bike a sleek, sporty presence. The innovative design changes the wheel's path, letting us move both the engine and rider/passenger closer to the front wheel.
Standard on: all trims
Frame
This latest generation all-aluminum frame is significantly lighter and more compact than previous editions. State-of-the-art die-casting lets us fine-tune chassis rigidity, giving you a smooth ride and precise handling.
Standard on: all trims
Swingarm/rear suspension
Using our proprietary single-sided Pro Arm® design, the aluminum swingarm houses the shaft drive. The swingarm links to the frame using a patented pivot structure that both increases stiffness and reduces weight, so you get responsive handling and a smoother ride.
Standard on: all trims
Anti-Lock Braking System
All models are equipped with our combined Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) for excellent stopping power under a wide variety of road and traction conditions.
Standard on: all trims
Ride modes
The engine offers a wide range of user-friendly power, and you can even choose between four ride modes (Tour, Sport, Rain, and Econ), with each mode varying the power output so you can tailor the bike to your current riding conditions.
Standard on: all trims
Lighter overall weight
The latest Wing is almost 90 pounds lighter than the previous generation, making it even more fun to ride on twisty roads.
Standard on: all trims
Low center of gravity
The weight distribution of a motorcycle is just as important as its overall weight when it comes to handling. With its horizontally opposed engine, the latest model boasts the lowest center of gravity in its class, resulting in excellent handling.
Standard on: all trims
Dual radial front brake calipers
The dual brake calipers on these bikes are mounted radially, similar to that of our World Champion RC213V MotoGP racebike. The stiffer mounting reduces caliper flex and improves brake power and feel.
Standard on: all trims
Seven-speed automatic DCT
Available with our revolutionary seven-speed automatic DCT, the shifts in this latest version are faster and smoother than ever, and the overdrive seventh gear is perfect for highway cruising.
Standard on: all DCT models
Six-speed manual transmission
If you prefer a manual transmission, the latest model offers the best conventional gearbox in Gold Wing history. A case in point is an overdrive sixth gear, so highway cruising is supremely smooth.
Standard on: Gold Wing Tour
Hill Start Assist
All models offer Hill Start Assist (HSA). This feature momentarily holds your motorcycle’s position on inclines after you’ve released the brakes and before you apply the throttle, eliminating any roll-back drama.
Standard on: all trims
Reverse
The DCT models offer an exclusive low-speed reverse that uses engine power, while the manual transmission bikes offer a unique electric reverse. Both systems make maneuvering your bike out of parking spaces easier, especially if you need to roll back up an incline.
Standard on: all DCT models
Throttle-by-wire
The throttle-by-wire system enables features like the bike’s four ride modes and our exclusive Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC).
Standard on: all trims
Integrated Starter Generator (ISG)
We’ve combined the starter and alternator into one assembly that’s light and compact. It’s part of the overall weight-savings program, and you’ll hear the difference the first time you press the start button.
Standard on: all trims
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
On all models, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) monitors your bike’s rear-wheel speed and instantly adjusts torque. It’s a great feature when riding in the rain or anywhere where surface conditions compromise traction.
Standard on: all trims
Airbag
Honda pioneered the concept of a motorcycle airbag, and the latest Tour model continues to lead the way. Available as an option, it goes that extra mile towards increased rider safety.
Standard on: Gold Wing Tour Airbag DCT
Walking Mode
All models with DCT transmissions feature “Walking Mode,” which lets you creep forward or backward under power at a walking pace. Just think how easy it will be to get in and out of tight parking spots with a fully loaded bike.
Standard on: all DCT models
Cruise control
The Gold Wing was one of the first touring bikes to offer cruise control, and with our advanced throttle-by-wire system, it’s better than ever.
Standard on: all trims
Nano-tech paint
Even the paint is high-tech, using BASF’s nano technology. The darks look darker, the lights look brighter, and the paint itself has a luxurious feel.
Standard on: all trims
LED lighting
All models feature a complete LED lighting package. The headlights, taillights, and every bit of instrumentation are LED, which last longer, are lighter, and run cooler.
Standard on: all trims
Large Trunk
The Tour trunk holds 61 liters. That means in most cases, you can get two full-face helmets in there. Combined, the trunk and saddlebags give you 121 liters of storage, plenty to hold what you need for a weekend’s travels.
Standard on: all Tour trims
Electric windscreen
The windscreen is electrically controlled and provides excellent protection from the elements, moving both up and down over a 4.9-inch range and changing its angle as it raises and lowers. Plus, it automatically remembers the last setting.
Standard on: all trims
Fairing
The full-coverage fairing offers excellent wind and weather protection, yet is trimmer and more aerodynamic than in previous generation models. It also flows more air through refined ducting, helping keep you cooler on hot summer days.
Standard on: all trims
Rider/passenger seating
All models feature seats with a custom-feel suede-like cover. The rider on every model can enjoy an optional backrest, and on our models without a trunk, there’s an optional backrest for the passenger.
Standard on: all trims
Luggage
All models feature integrated saddlebags that are designed to hold enough for most weekend trips. The bags open electronically with the push of a button and lock and unlock remotely with the smart key.
Standard on: all trims
Functional styling
While the bodywork still offers excellent weather protection, it’s crisper now, exposing a little more of the engine and chassis. It’s definitely not your grandfather’s touring bike.
Standard on: all trims
Heated grips
Part of riding a bike is enjoying the elements. But nobody likes being cold. That’s why all models come equipped with electric heated grips as standard equipment.
Standard on: all trims
Smart key
When the electronic smart key is in close proximity, you can hop on, press a button, and ride off. Plus, an “answer back” feature lets you find your bike in the dark or in a crowded rally parking lot.
Standard on: all trims
Advanced meters
The cockpit meters are information central. In addition to the basics like vehicle and engine speed, ride mode, fuel level, and more, you can also monitor outside air temperature, cruise control speed, and even selected phone apps linked through Apple CarPlay™ or Android Auto™.
Standard on: all trims
HomeLink®
Available as an optional feature, HomeLink® lets you integrate your new bike with devices in your home, such as your garage door opener, via a switch on your bike’s center console.
Standard on: optional on all trims
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Correct tire inflation is a necessity for safe, economical motorcycling. And it’s especially critical with a touring bike because of the varying loads. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) automatically warns you of low tire pressure on all models.
Standard on: all trims
