HONDA NC700X (2016-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2016, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda NC700X, a versatile motorcycle designed for commuting and touring. The 2016 model didn't bring any changes whatsoever and remained largely similar to previous models.

The Honda NC700 was a series of motorcycles that debuted in 2013 as a new concept, and unlike conventional motorcycles, the NC700 was designed for commuters, beginner, and veteran riders.

The bike was built on a lightweight diamond-shaped steel frame that offered a stable and responsive ride and also packed a long-travel suspension system that provided good handling and comfort on a variety of road surfaces.

The bike packed the same technical and visual specifications as the previous models, such as a comfortable seat with an upright seating position, a digital instrument panel, and a storage compartment located in the typical fuel tank compartment.

As for ergonomics, the bike offered a carefully shaped seat with a low seat height that provided an easy reach to the ground, and the handlebar was positioned in such a way that offered more space around the rider’s knees and arms for more movement.

For suspension, the bike featured a 41 mm long-travel telescopic fork on the front and a single monoshock absorber on the rear, while the stopping power was handled by a single 320 mm disc with a three-piston caliper on the front wheel and one 240 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

As for power, the 2016 Honda NC700X had its soul brought to life by a 670cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 51 hp with maximum strength at 6,250 rpm and 62 Nm (46 lb-ft) of torque at 4,750 rpm.
