HONDA VT1300CXA Fury ABS (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009 at the New York International Motorcycle Show, the Japanese maker introduced the Honda VT1300CX Fury, a chopper-style machine with a unique design that made it most visible in a crowd.

In its second year of production, the VT1300CX Fury came in another version, not different from the standard one but with an additional Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) that enhanced stopping power over various surfaces and road conditions.

Honda went beyond the traditional domain of cruiser design with the VT1300CX Fury onto the chopper turf, with an austere bodywork mounted on a hard-tail frame with a high-mounted steering head and long fork tubes placed at a 38-degree angle.

Also, the bike was built on a double cradle steel frame fitted with a 45 mm telescopic fork that handled the front suspension. In contrast, the rear was driven by an adjustable hidden shock absorber for optimum suspension performance and handling.

The lightweight cast aluminum wheels were fitted with a 336 mm disc, a two-piston caliper on the front, and a 296 mm disc coupled to a single-piston caliper on the rear that provided strong stopping power.

Besides the standard features, the bike was available with a host of optional Honda Genuine Accessories, including a front spoiler with accent lights, a low sidebar, a passenger backrest pad, a custom passenger seat, and custom grips, and much more.

The Honda VT1300CXA Fury ABS featured a five-speed manual transmission bolted to a 1,312cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system that delivered an output power of 57 hp at 4,250 rpm and 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) of torque at 2,250 rpm.
