HONDA CBR600RR ABS (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda CBR600RR ABS, one of the most popular supersport motorcycles in the world that featured technologies derived from Honda's racing program and delivered radical but manageable performance.

The 2010 ABS motorcycle featured the same specifications as the standard model except for the addition of the Combined Abs (C-ABS) braking system that delivered better stopping performance, with the smart distribution of the braking power between both wheels, which reduced the side effects of hard braking on difficult and slippery surfaces.

The C-ABS system worked in tandem with two 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that provided strong braking performance.

For suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm inverted Big Piston Fork (BPF) on the front with spring preload, rebound, and compression damping adjustability and a Unit Pro-Link HMAS adjustable single shock absorber on the rear.

As for power, the 2010 Honda CBR600RR ABS version featured a compact 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fitted with a Dual Stage Fuel Injection (DSFI) system that helped deliver an output power of 118 hp with maximum strength at 13,500 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) of torque available at 11,250 rpm.

The power generated by the engine was converted into speed by a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission that spun the rear wheel through a chain drive to a top speed of 255 kph (159 mph).
