HONDA VT1300CX Fury (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda VT1300CX Fury was the first production chopper built by the major motorcycle manufacturers Honda and also the first chopper that featured an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).

The bike's design was similar to custom-made choppers made by Paul Teutul Sr or Arlen Ness.

The bike's frame, bodywork, and front and rear suspension components were designed by a stylist team from Honda R&D Americas (HRA) in collaboration with the engineers from Honda's Asaka R&D Center (HGA) in Japan.

The Honda Fury packed an updated engine and brakes borrowed from the VTX1300 series. In contrast, the carburated engine was updated with a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system that enhanced its power delivery and acceleration.

In 2012, the maker launched the Honda VT1300CX Fury, a chopper-style machine that debuted in 2009 and was presented at the New York International Motorcycle Show and then released in 2010. Besides annual pain job changes, the bike remained in production until 2022 without any technical modifications.

The bike was fitted from the factory with a set of lightweight cast-aluminum wheels that featured a 336 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front and a 296 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear for optimum stopping power.

A force of 57 hp at 4,250 rpm and 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) of torque avialbale at 2,250 was generated by the 1,312cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine bolted to a five-speed manual transmission linked to the rear wheel through a shaft drive.
