Engine Updates for 2025
Two-Motor Throttle-by-Wire (TBW): A first for Honda, this system manages cylinders 1-2 and 3-4 independently, improving throttle control at lower RPMs and enhancing engine braking.
Optimized Gearing: Shorter gear ratios and primary drive for improved acceleration and corner-exit drive.
Revised Internal Components: Lighter crankshaft (15.9 oz reduction) and connecting rods, and updated valve springs for higher RPM performance.
Chassis and Suspension
Frame: Aluminum twin-spar with revised, lighter structure (roughly 1 kg lighter) that provides a 17% reduction in lateral stiffness and 15% in torsional stiffness for improved feel.
Suspension: Third-generation Öhlins Smart Electronic Control (S-EC3.0) 43mm NPX (SV) fork and TTX36 (SV) rear shock with Spool Valve technology.
Brakes: New Brembo Stylema R four-piston radial-mount front calipers.
Aerodynamics: Redesigned middle fairing with new, forward-set winglets that reduce yaw moment through corners by 10%.
Electronics and Features
TFT Display: 5-inch full-color TFT screen with updated, intuitive controls.
Rider Aids: Updated 9-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and updated ABS with three modes: Standard, Track, and Race.
Smart Key: Standard keyless ignition.
