More confidence-inspiring power
A 15 percent increase in displacement (to 286 cc from 249 cc) improves power by 9.4 percent and torque throughout the rev range, giving the liquid-cooled DOHC single-cylinder engine better grunt at low-rpm and even stronger high-rpm performance. The engine’s wide spread of power makes this bike easy and confidence-inspiring to ride on-road or off.

Quieter and lighter
Honda engineers reworked the exhaust system, adopting a new structure that reduces vibration and noise while also shaving weight by 380 g. When combined with changes to the air filter and ignition timing, the result is a more-linear powerband that further improves overall rideability.
