It is now delivering 88.5 bhp at 11,000 rpm, a slight increase from the 87 bhp it offered up to the 2017 line.

According to Honda explains, “the increase in maximum power was achieved through a new air filter housing with wider ducts that feed 32 mm butterfly bodies. The 4-in-1 exhaust system, a Honda signature, was also redesigned with the goal of reducing internal back pressure and ensuring a freer flow. ”

Still, in the mechanical part, the front suspension now has a more refined solution, in this case, the adoption of the fork provided by Showa with Dual Bending Valve (SDBV) technology. With 41 mm tubes, the SDBV system uses two valves to generate both the compression and “rebound” of the damper, compensating more efficiently the two forces. Honda adds that the SDBV system “ensures a smoother and more precise operation on different floors, favoring the maneuverability and stability of the bike”.

Both Honda CB 650F and CBR 650F have an ABS system and a double wave disc in the front with 320 mm diameter driven by Nissin double piston calipers. At the rear, the single disc follows the same visual style and features 240 mm diameter, but simple piston calipers. The six-spoke double wheels are made of die-cast aluminum and sidewalks with 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 sized sports tires with “L” shaped air valves for easy pressure control operation.
