Features
Features
- Sophisticated liquid-cooled, SOHC, eight-valve, 670cc, parallel-twin engine pumps out abundant torque in the low-end and midrange for easily accessible power.
- An impressively broad torque curve gives the CTX700 a remarkably linear and smooth power delivery.
- A relatively long engine stroke [80.0mm combined with a 73.0mm bore] and a high-inertia crankshaft are design elements that add to the CTX700's extremely tractable power characteristics.
- The 62-degree forward lean given to the cylinder assembly facilitates near-vertical mounting of the single 36mm throttle body for superior intake port positioning and shaping. In addition, special shaping to the combustion chambers further enhance engine combustion efficiency for clean burning and optimal power production.
- An engine balancer shaft quells vibration for smooth, comfortable operation, and rubber-mounted footrests also add to rider comfort.
- Programmed Fuel Injection [PGM-FI] continuously monitors numerous variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture for existing riding and atmospheric conditions, thereby delivering optimal performance and remarkably crisp throttle response over a wide range of operating conditions.
- Upper fairing and windscreen divert wind around the rider, adding to comfort and reducing fatigue.
- Low seat height, along with the new Honda parallel-twin engine design, creates a very low centre of gravity, making the CTX700N feel remarkably nimble and fun to ride.
- Fuel capacity of 12.4 liters and great fuel economy give the CTX700 a long cruising range.
- A rigid and compact diamond-shape steel frame, low center of gravity and plush suspension help make the CTX700 responsive, agile and enjoyable to ride all day. Stout 41mm front fork provides 107 mm of travel, while the Pro-Link[R] rear suspension system delivers 110 mm of wheel travel.
- Open, roomy ergonomics position the rider in a well-balanced seating position for all-day comfort and fun. A remarkably low seat height of 720 mm helps instill rider confidence.
- CTX700D with DCT/ABS features a second-generation automatic six-speed Honda Dual Clutch Transmission that uses two hydraulically controlled clutches to deliver quick and smooth gear changes in a choice of three modes: Manual [MT], which allows the rider to shift gears using buttons, and two automatic [AT] modes—S for sport riding and D for everyday use.
- DCT model also features an Antilock Braking System [ABS] to provide full antilock functionality for powerful and secure braking action.
- CTX700 features a manual six-speed transmission.
