2023 Honda® NC750X DCT

2023 Honda® NC750X DCT

Features may include:

• Strong power and torque

For even better performance, the NC750X’s liquid-cooled, parallel twin engine boasts increased power and a 600 rpm higher redline vs previous generations. Numerous advanced and patented technologies help to deliver exceptionally strong low-rpm performance for strong acceleration and ease-of-use in the city, and a relaxed character on the highway. The engine’s unique design creates a muscular, easy-to-use powerband not unlike that of a big-bore cruiser.

• Distinctive feel

To give the engine a satisfying and distinctive feel, engineers thought way outside the box. An extra balancer shaft was added to inject the engine with just the right amount of “good” vibration. The effect of the twin balancers is to counteract vibration from higher rpm inertia, making the engine feel more refined, yet still with the distinct “throb” delivered by its 270-degree firing order.

• Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)

The NC750X comes with a sporty DCT transmission, which allows both paddle-operated manual operation and four levels of automatic shifting. DCT even senses whether the bike is travelling uphill or downhill and selects shifting points and engine braking accordingly.

• Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)

The 3-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) system allows even finer rider-adjustable control of rear-wheel torque. HSTC lets you choose the amount of allowable rear-wheel spin — some spin on gravel or dirt, for example, or no spin on slippery roads. It’s a great feature that helps make the NC750X even more versatile.

• Tuned flex for a smooth ride

A full 6 kg lighter compared to previous generations, the diamond-shaped steel-tube frame was carefully designed to be sturdy while also allowing just enough flex to respond smoothly to changing road surfaces. This results in a smooth ride while also letting you feel what the bike is doing. You get comfort when you’re just cruising, and a sporty, fun ride when you’re on your favourite twisty backroad.

• Lower seat height

A lower seat height from previous generations improves the NC750X’s upright and neutral riding position, with a high viewpoint for enhanced hazard perception. Another advantage of this adventure-style riding position is great low-speed control — combined with the low centre of gravity and generous steering lock, the result is exceptional low-speed handling and balance.

• Showa fork

A Showa Dual Bending Valve fork (SDBV) performs much like a high-end cartridge fork, providing similar smooth action and linear damping force, but at a lighter weight. The result is superior road holding and ride comfort, plus reduced front-end dive under braking.

• ABS power and control

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) provides added confidence during sudden stops or when the road is wet or slippery.

• Excellent weather protection

The NC750X shows off its edgy styling with a sleek front cowl design and tall windscreen for improved wind protection, plus venting to reduce pressure and turbulence. The result is a bike that’s comfortable when cruising at speed, no matter what kind of weather your adventure takes you through.

• Maximized weight distribution

The 14.1-litre fuel tank is accessed beneath the seat at the rear of the bike, with the fuel stored beneath the rider. The tail cowl has been cut short to bring the mass forward, and handy grips have been integrated into the tail section for passenger security.
