New lightweight aluminium alloy 5-spoke wheels with high-speed rated tyres for top performance and dynamic looks.
Up front, a pair of dual-piston front callipers grip wide 296mm drilled floating discs, and at the rear, a compact new single-piston calliper, like that used on the CBR600RR.
Verify cartier serial number. The all-new Hornet will also be available with the highly responsive braking capability of Honda’s most advanced Combined ABS brake system, providing reassuringly strong braking control and enhancing rider confidence.
Up front, the big gold-anodised outer tubes of its 41mm inverted HMAS cartridge-type front fork exude a look of invincible control while compliantly soaking up the road’s rough spots with 120mm of smoothly damped wheel travel. Honda cbr 2017 manual.
At the rear, a Monoshock damper takes up position between the swingarm and the rear frame to provide positive and progressive control for assured handling balanced with compliant comfort.
Seemingly hovering in space over Hornet’s fat rear tyre, the ultra-slim seat and tail cowl design minimises inertial weight. The brilliant LED taillight is integrated into the tail cowl and turn indicators feature smoked lenses with amber bulbs.
Based on and developed together with the innovative engine now powering the 2007 CBR600RR, the Hornet’s new powerplant is one of the shortest and more compact engines in its class. Featuring Honda’s most advanced PGM-FI electronic fuel injection system the new powerplant was specially tuned to combine strong midrange torque for faster acceleration out of the corners with a higher-revving top end.
