Key Features |

HRC Launch Control We’re talking about a special ECU program here: push the button to select the mode, hold the throttle open, release the clutch, and the bike will do the rest, launching you into the first turn with a big advantage. It turns your bike into a holeshot-seeking machine! |
Electric Start
Equipped with an effortless electric starter. Convenient and lightweight, it’s a huge deal if you need to restart the bike in the heat of battle. |
Gear-Position Engine Mapping Talk about smart: This model features an ECU with special engine mapping for each gear. You can’t give an inch in this class, so having your engine deliver optimal power for each gear choice is one of the features that separates Honda riders from the rest. |
Engine Mode Select (EMS) This simple handlebar-mounted button lets you dial in engine power delivery character with a push of your thumb. Choose between Standard, Smooth and Aggressive, depending on track conditions. |
DOHC Engine Layout The double-overhead-cam (DOHC) engine layout has a unique finger-follower rocker design. Together with the rest of the engine’s architecture (bore and stroke, intake tract, piston, and more), you get more power and a higher redline. |
Titanium Intake and Exhaust Valves Light is right when it comes to a high-revving engine’s reciprocating masses. That’s why it uses titanium intake and exhaust valves. Plus, the valve angle is a super-narrow 20.5 degrees (included). Ovalized valve springs and long-wearing Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) treated finger rockers complete the package. |
Downdraft Intake and Exhaust Layout The DOHC cylinder-head design lets our engineers straighten out the bike's intake and exhaust tracts that have been optimized to improve power and response. The intake is shorter and just about arrow straight, and the exhaust flows more efficiently too. No athlete’s going to win a sprint if they try to run while holding their breath, and it’s no different with your bike’s engine. You’ll experience both, more power and better throttle response. |

With our better-breathing DOHC design and the big-bore/short-stroke engine, the rev limit is very impressive. The same goes for peak power and peak torque. |
